The CX500 is a dry toner, roll-to-roll, 5-color digital label press driven by Xeikon’s digital X-800 front end. This Xeikon ‘Cheetah’ has a web width of up to 20 inches and a full rotary printing speed of 98 feet per minute at 1200 DPI.

Donna Covannon, Xeikon America’s director of marketing, said: ‘Most visitors to our exhibit were on the lookout for new revenue-generating applications and a number of them were commercial printers looking to expand into label, packaging and industrial applications. They were impressed by the power and versatility of our web-fed dry toner presses.’

Also during the show, Xeikon and Anderson & Vreeland signed a partnership agreement that effectively triples Xeikon’s sales strength in North America.
