By choosing to install a Xeikon 8500 web-fed digital printing system, DOCUsystem GmbH, based in Rödermark near Frankfurt, made the transition from sheetfed to web-fed digital printing.
The new system was installed in spring 2015 to address production bottlenecks that were occurring on its single-sheet printers and pressure from customers who wanted reasonable costs but were not satisfied with the full-color quality of an inkjet printing alternative.
At DOCUsystem, which prints exclusively with digital technology, the majority of jobs are invoices, letters, statistical reports, marketing mailings and other commercial jobs – and, more recently, photo wallpapers.
“We chose a Xeikon digital printing system because the ratio of cost to performance was perfect for a business of our size,” said Jürgen Scheer, managing director of DOCUsystem GmbH. “We’re now one of the first service providers to be able to print PDFs with the full range of options on a truly native basis and without loss of time.
The throughput we achieve with the Xeikon press replaces three sheetfed printing systems.”
At the beginning of the year, DOCUsystem added photo wallpapers to its product line. In collaboration with its customer, a leading German wallpaper wholesaler, DOCUsystem and Xeikon developed a solution that produces finished wallpapers printed to a high quality standard on a nonwoven material. As a result, wallpapers can be printed profitably on demand with a job size of a single roll, eliminating expensive warehousing of preprinted wallpapers for the wholesaler.
“The Xeikon 8500 allows us to exploit a market niche we could not have addressed before,” Scheer concludes. “We can offer exceptional quality new products while still carrying on very economically with our bread-and-butter business of commercial mailings.”
