Xeikon has launched a Leaflet Production Suite dedicated to the document and commercial print market and has chosen the Hunkeler Innovationdays to showcase the new product.
The new suite is an integrated solution that can create high-quality pharmaceutical and agro-chemical leaflets as well as instruction leaflets used in general retail. The company’s ability to print very small text with a 1200 dpi resolution allows the use of microtext and complies to the strict anti-counterfeit security requirements typical of these industries.
Together with its Aura Partner Network, the company has developed this total solution for one of the fastest growing digital printing niches.
Danny Mertens, director marketing & business development document printing, said, ‘As an innovator in digital printing technology, we are always looking to deliver print excellence and offer our customers new ways to score better than their competitors. Hunkeler Innovationdays is the perfect platform to help highlight our capabilities and market know-how. We are thrilled about showing our newest digital print portfolio enhancements to the 4000+ expected visitors at this indispensable industry rendezvous.’
Also at the show Xeikon will be showing a new dry-toner digital press equipped with a Hunkeler Unwinder, a Web Finishing module that protects against damage in the converting device, a Hunkeler cutter that cuts to clean sheets, and a Guk Folding device, a single conveyor belt that stacks the leaflets.
The dry toner technology allows printing on ultra-thin quality paper of 40-60 gsm and offers benefits related to fusing, increased colour gamut and speed. The toners are available in the four process colours (CMYK) as well as five off-the-shelf gamut expansion spot colours (Red, Green, Blue, Orange, and Extra magenta). A Clear toner is available for printing security applications. In addition, the company can also develop custom-made colours to meet specific brand colour requirements and print top quality on very thin paper.
