Xeikon to unveil its new digital color label press
Monday 18. August 2008 - Xeikon will unveil to the US market its new digital color label press, the 3300, which the company launched this year at drupa. The machine offers 1200 dpi at 4 bits per spot. With a top speed of 19.2 m/min (63.0 ft/min) it is said to be the fastest digital 5-color label press on the market, particularly suited for short to medium print runs and just-in-time jobs.
The Xeikon 3300 is standard-equipped with five color stations, i.e. four for the standard process colors while the fifth allows the use of spot colors as well as opaque white and special security toner. The Xeikon 3300 runs on Xeikon FA toner which combines the benefits of chemically produced toner with the performance of traditionally produced toner and is FDA-approved for use in certain food contact applications. It can print on scalable widths and a wide range of substrates from all sorts of self-adhesive films including co-extruded film, to unsupported film, paper, transparent and opaque foils, and paperboard with weights ranging from 40 to 350 gsm (27 lb text to 122 lb cover). The dry toner electrophotography imaging process enables the use of conventional substrates without coating or pre-treatment.
The Xeikon 3300 comes with the latest generation of Xeikons X-800 digital front-end, which enables the implementation of fully automated workflows in any production environment.
