As
a leader in the development of dry toner printing technologies, having been in
the dry toner research and development game for 30 years, Xeikon is bringing
its latest dry toner developments to Labelexpo Americas. The new
next-generation QB toner replaces QA-I and ICE toners for Xeikon 3000 series
and Cheetah digital label presses. QB toner is now being shipped with all new
label & packaging presses from Xeikon. Existing customers will be able to
upgrade their presses in early 2019. Xeikon will be located in the Flint Group
booth, Hall A #728, at the show, scheduled for 25 to 27 September at the Donald
E. Stephens Convention Center, Rosemont, Illinois.
“As
a leader in the development of dry toner technologies, Xeikon is always
concerned with ensuring its dry toner products meet all regulatory
requirements, including food safety,” said Filip Weymans, Xeikon’s Vice
President of Marketing. “Dry toner continues to be the preferred technology for
digitally printing packaging that is food-safe. Xeikon is future-proofing these
solutions by monitoring regulatory changes to ensure continued compliance. Many
label printers are already using Xeikon digital presses for food-related
applications, and this new QB toner will ensure they stay at the forefront of
regulatory compliance. At Labelexpo Americas, we will also be celebrating our
30-year anniversary of dry toner research & development, an effort that
will only continue to accelerate into the future.”
Xeikon
QB toners are available in formulations that require high temperatures for
fusing (QB-I) and lower fusing temperatures (QB-IC and QB-CH). These
formulations are designed to be compliant not only with today’s regulations,
but with emerging regulations as well. Xeikon has replaced or omitted compounds
in these toners that are now allowed but may potentially be affected by future
regulatory action. “We have also removed components from these new toners that
could lead to misinterpretation, such as tin,” Weymans added. “Visitors to our
booth at Labelexpo Americas will get a first look at the new QB toners and gain
insight into how it advances dry toner technology to the next level.”
“Labelexpo
Americas promises to be a busy and exciting show,” Weymans added. “We’ll be
unveiling our entry-level Xeikon 3030 based Label Discovery package, an
entry-level label printing and converting solution that includes the Xeikon
3030 digital label press and the new entryDcoat, an inline or offline digital
converting line. And we’ll also be demonstrating the Xeikon PX3000 UV inkjet
label press, as well as the toner-based Xeikon 3500 and CX3 presses, offering
visitors the ability to evaluate multiple technologies to determine what best
meets their label needs. Xeikon label experts will be available throughout the
show to speak with visitors about their business needs and provide
technology-agnostic guidance as to the best possible solutions for
profitability and business growth.”
At
Labelexpo Americas, Xeikon will also be participating in the American debut of
Labelexpo’s Automation Arena, featuring the industry 4.0 automated
self-adhesive digital label printing production process.
At
the show, Xeikon will be holding a press conference on September 25 at
3:45-4:15pm in Room 13 on the ground floor of the convention center. Visit
Xeikon in Hall A #728 which is also home at the show for parent company Flint
Group.
