Posted in Latest News on August 05, 2010

Flexiket, a Denmark-based label printer, has installed a Xeikon 3300 digital label press. 

‘Our new Xeikon 3300 press gives us several distinct advantages which translate directly into customer benefits,’ said Bjarne Svensson (pictured), production manager at Flexiket. ‘The combination of 1200 dpi, 4-bit variable dot density imaging, extended gamut spot colors and an automated quality control system ensures absolutely consistent brand reproduction. We have worked with Xeikon presses for 10 years and are still impressed by the strengths of their technology, customer support and service. Therefore we decided to reinvest in the Xeikon 3300 to handle our prime label business.’ 

Filip Weymans, business development manager, Labels & Packaging at Xeikon, commented: ‘At Xeikon, we’ve always strived to position our systems at the high end of the digital printing market, introducing technology and productivity innovations that provide true business-enhancing benefits for our customers. We are happy to see that Flexiket, one of our long-term customers, has again confirmed its trust in our company and our solutions.’

The Xeikon 3300, which received the Intertech Technology Award in 2009, offers true 1200 dpi output resolution at four bits per spot, with a top speed of 19.2 meters per minute and a monthly duty cycle of 700,000 meters. It includes five color stations: four for standard process colors and a fifth station for spot colors. The spot colors can be used for gamut expansion or for reproducing specific brand elements. The fifth color station can also enable printing on transparent films with Xeikon’s one-pass opaque white toner, and for security printing with special security toner.
