Simon Smith and Adam James from CS Labels shake hands on the deal at Labelexpo
Amongst the introductions from Xeikon at Labelexpo was the CX500, an extension to the Cheetah series of dry-toner presses. CS Labels is the first company to sign up for beta testing of the new press.
At a web width of up to 520mm, the bigger ‘Cheetah’ press is aimed at larger-sized label applications. It is based on a new generation dry toner platform that is ready for Industry 4.0.
Managing director Simon Smith said, ‘We are familiar with the advantages of a wider web digital press, having two Xeikon 3500 presses. Now that Xeikon has introduced the CX500, we want reap the benefits of this new platform. The enhancements Xeikon brings into this new platform are really impressive, it is a new generation platform indeed.’
He continued, ‘We don’t just offer digitally printed labels, we offer complete digital solutions and always explore new opportunities like flexible packaging, pouches, etc. As the market continues to evolve, we will stay true to our ethos of letting technology drive our innovation.
‘Deciding to beta test the CX500 was a no-brainer for us. It is basically a next, logical expansion of our machine park and if perfectly fits in the long-term business strategy for our company.’
