Xeikon expands label substrate range to include PE

Xeikon showcased the latest additions to its expanding family of label substrates for the Xeikon 3000 Series at Labelexpo Europe 2011. Visitors to the Xeikon stand could see, for the first time, live demonstrations of the Xeikon 3500 printing on Cast PE, supplied by Mactac. The press also printed labels on the first bio-degradable material from Fasson. In addition, Xeikon printed labels were on display across the show floor on stands of Xeikon’s many other partners. 

‘To date, the market perceived that it was impossible to use dry toner technology to print on PE,’ said Filip Weymans, business development manager, labels and packaging, Xeikon. ‘Visitors to our stand will find out for themselves that it is now 100 percent achievable and with the highest levels of print quality. A clear example what advantage dedicated toner development brings. During the show, we will print live on to Cast PE material using the Xeikon 3500, so visitors can see the quality for themselves. The material is one of Mactac's recently certified label materials.’
