Xeikon has launched the REX initiative, making its remanufactured digital presses available to printers of all sizes to help ‘fulfil customers’ demands for shorter runs, just-in-time production and customisation.’
Through REX, which stands for ‘remanufactured, ecological, Xeikon quality’, the company is offering a range of remanufactured digital presses which will have the same warranty as new Xeikon presses and come with a Xeikon installation service pack, with multiple service level options available.
‘Xeikon has been offering digital presses into the market for more than 30 years,’ explained director of product management Jeroen Van Bauwel. ‘But often, our customers’ digital business runs faster than their press and after a few years they already need to re-invest in a faster model.
‘The returned press still has a long lifetime ahead so with our Rex programme, we are remanufacturing these older presses by running them through our factory, implementing all recent updates, and upgrading the digital front end to the latest version of our workflow, X-800 6.0. The presses that have gone through the REX program are then offered again into the market at a very attractive investment cost.’
The first machine resulting from the REX programme is the Xeikon 3030 REX.
