Tapecon invests in Xeikon 3300

Tapecon, a US-based converter of custom decals, labels, and printed electronics, has purchased a Xeikon 3300 digital color label press.

Jay Ziegler, director of marketing strategy at Tapecon: ‘With our digital printing expertise, we are able to offer high-quality, short to medium runs with quicker turnarounds and cost savings to our customers. The Xeikon 3300 will further enable us to provide these value-added solutions. It is truly an industry-leading digital color press in terms of its imaging quality, reliability, productivity and eco-friendliness.’
 
The Xeikon 3300 offers 1200 dpi resolution at four bits per spot. With a top speed of 63 feet per minute and monthly duty cycle of 2.3 million feet, it is a fast five color label press, particularly suited for short to medium print runs and just-in-time jobs. The press includes five color stations, four of which are for the standard process colors. The fifth color station can be used for spot colors (for gamut expansion and producing brand colors), one-hit opaque white and special security toner. ‘In our experience, the Xeikon 3300 is the only digital color label press with one-hit opaque white capability,’ added Ziegler.
 
‘One of the major advantages of the Xeikon 3300 is its format flexibility. Unlike other digital label presses, it has no frame size restrictions,’ he continued.

The Xeikon 3300 can handle scalable substrate widths up to 13 inches and has virtually no restriction on the length of the printed label. It is capable of handling a range of substrates from various self-adhesive films including co-extruded film, to unsupported film, paper, transparent and opaque foils, and paperboard with weights ranging from 1.6 mil to 16-point board stock. The dry toner electrophotography imaging process enables the use of conventional substrates without coating or pre-treatment.
