Printing solutions built for labeling
Xeikon is one of the pioneers of digital color printing technology for the professional printing market. Its commitment to the label industry began in 1996 when the company launched the world’s first digital color press dedicated to label printing. Since then, Xeikon has continued to lead the label market with a continuous stream of innovative solutions dedicated to the needs of this rapidly growing market. Its award- winning Xeikon 3300, released in 2008, represented a quantum leap forward in image quality, speed and reliability. This was followed in 2010 with the release of the Xeikon 3500 which delivers productivity gains almost twice those of its closest competitors.
During its process of continuous innovation, Xeikon evolved from developing best-of-breed digital printers to delivering total label printing solutions. These innovations include the introduction of the world's first dedicated toner for the label and packaging market. This toner is in line with the FDA regulations for the use in direct and indirect food contact applications and has a wider color gamut and vastly improved light fastness. Recognizing that finishing is an integral part of the printing process, Xeikon also offers a fully integrated D-coat finishing line with all its printers. To offer a full package solution, the company cooperates with leading substrate suppliers to guarantee their products work seamlessly together.
