Xeikon is launching its ICE dry toner at Labelexpo and looking to convince label and packaging markets of the benefits of digital, said Filip Weymans, director business development and marketing labels and packaging.
“In that spirit, we are launching an innovative programme called, ‘See The Proof’ that gives converters first-hand experience with the technology,” he said.
Through the programme, label converters can upload their own label files at www.SeeTheProof.com to receive labels printed on five substrates – including a PE substrate using Xeikon’s brand-new ICE toner – which can be retrieved at the Xeikon stand during Labelexpo.
Xeikon’s ICE dry toner will debut at the show.
“Xeikon ICE is the first dry toner capable of printing on PE, a label substrate that is particularly important in the health and beauty segment,” said Weymans.
The firm will feature at its stand the 3300 and 3500 digital label presses. The Xeikon 3300, built around the commonly used 330 mm/13” web width, will be running with an inline converting unit, including a laser from GM.
The Xeikon 3500 allows the use of material up to 516mm/20.3” wide, and will be running in a roll to roll configuration.
Xeikon will demonstrate the capabilities of its digital label presses by printing labels used for wine & spirits, industrial, pharma, health & beauty, food and beverage applications.
At a Software Corner, the firm will feature solutions including ColorControl, ColorMagic, Vectorizor and MyPress.
Xeikon will also be demonstrating its unique Web2Label workflow and folding solutions with a Xeikon 3500 running the Alpine 516 fuser, with inline Bograma finishing unit.
