Xeikon is hoping to wow visitors at Labelexpo Europe where the company will show a raft of new products including live demonstrations of the Xeikon CX3.
The press will be available for order from the opening day of the show, the CX3 is based on Cheetah technology which is in operation at five sites around the world.
At the show, Xeikon will also unveil two new toners: MatteSilver and PalladiumSilver. These new luxury-look toners are the first products in the Xeikon Creative Colors toner group. MatteSilver offers the luxury of a rich metal finish to the print substrate, while Palladium features a speckled silver sparkle for extra textural interest.
The company will also be showing the VariLane software tool, designed to optimise productivity and profitability by printing labels of different heights, widths and run lengths on the same web in separate lanes.
The latest X-800 release also includes full support for the Adobe Mercury RIP Architecture and ColorKey, a new option that takes advantage of the inline spectrophotometer that is an integral part of Xeikon presses. ColorKey enables users to generate reports reflecting the stability of the printing process during a specific job, the accuracy with which specific brand colours are reproduced and the possible occurrence of deviations from a pre-defined printing standard
‘Our extensive presence at Labelexpo Europe 2015, the world’s largest event for the label industry, reinforces our dedication to bringing innovation, productivity and profitability to the label printing business, which has grown to represent more than 50% of our revenues,’ said Wim Maes, CEO. ‘We are very excited to be making the Xeikon CX3 available for all digital label printers and converters worldwide as of the first day of the show. We have been extremely pleased with the feedback received from the Xeikon Cheetah’s pilot sites, and we look forward to seeing those results replicated with many more customers around the globe.’
