Xeikon

Xeikon plans to focus on digital presses for specialist applications at Drupa, including a new high-res inkjet model for labels and an inline embellishment system co-developed with Kurz.

Xeikon has launched a partnership with EFI in a move that it says makes it the “biggest global UV inkjet provider for digital labels”.

Xeikon has canned its Trillium liquid toner programme, which it first revealed more than five years ago.

Label printer PeterLynn has invested £750,000 in a Xeikon CX3 digital colour label press and a Digicon 3000 converting system.

Lucien De Schamphelaere, the founder of Belgian digital press manufacturer Xeikon, has died aged 85.

Xeikon has revealed a new one-pass-duplex web-fed system, the Xeikon 9600, a flatbed die-cutter and brought its long-awaited Trillium One for its first public outing at Drupa.

Xeikon has unveiled its first liquid toner Trillium press, developed with partner Miyakoshi and aimed at the commercial and DM print sectors, at its pre-Drupa press conference.

Rotherham-based Hine Labels has field-upgraded its Xeikon 3030 web-fed digital label press, more than doubling the speed at a “fraction of the cost of a new machine”.
