Digital printing

Digital printing

Digital printing is a process in which the print image is refreshed each time it is printed without using a static printing plate. This process makes it possible to produce constantly changing subjects one after the other. Digital printing has established itself as the most expedient and cost-efficient technology, especially for smaller print runs, personalisation or individualisation of printed matter.

Once Xeikon, always Xeikon.

LED array technology, flexible workflows, application-specific dry toner and complete packages designed for growth define Xeikon as a pioneer among manufacturers of digital printing machinery for industrial applications.

With Xeikon, we serve four major segments of the printing industry: label printing, folding box packaging printing, commercial printing and security printing.

Label printing machines

The Xeikon 3000 series was developed for self-adhesive, IML or thermal transfer labels. Unlike conventional technologies, these digital presses are designed for shorter runs, tighter delivery times and more complex customer requirements.

Commercial printing machines

A strategic decision

A good document printing system helps to achieve production targets. Outstanding printing presses make your company future-proof by opening new doors.

The Xeikon 9000 series combines top printing quality with productivity, because the systems are fast, versatile and allow very flexible handling with an excellent price-performance ratio.

Xeikon is the perfect complement to conventional machinery. It is better for shorter runs, offers greater variety and can produce just-in-time deliveries and customised, personalised jobs quickly and efficiently.

Digital security printing

In recent years, Xeikon has integrated more and more options for counterfeit protection into its hardware and software. For example, Xeikon digital presses can be used to apply variable data, barcodes, microtext, guilloche elements, tactile lettering or security toners.

"Taggants" are microscopic chemical markers that can be added to a substrate or to the toner itself. According to Xeikon, they are already used in numerous security documents such as banknotes, identification documents and securities. Taggants are invisible to the human eye and can only be recognised using special readers.

XEIKON FDU (Flatbed Die-cut Unit)

The Xeikon FDU was developed with the aim of enabling folding carton manufacturers to achieve efficient and seamless printing and processing. It is therefore not only suitable for near-line processing of digital jobs but can also be used for offset printing products.

Although the flatbed die-cut unit was designed specifically for Xeikon’s technology, it also processes materials that have been printed using conventional methods. The Xeikon FDU enables companies to process short runs quickly and economically. The sheets are aligned automatically with a very high degree of register accuracy, so that exact die-cutting and grooving is guaranteed without time-consuming set-up. There was a real need in the market for an easy to use, affordable and fast set-up solution to handle the growing number of short runs and tight delivery times. The FDU also takes smaller cutting dies and counterplates, thus enabling cost-effective production. Since no indentations are required between boxes, this solution is particularly suitable for folding boxes in the pharmaceutical and cosmetics industries. It also allows embossing, so that printers can provide value-added services such as Braille lettering.

The flatbed die-cut unit processes 2,000 sheets per hour in formats from 400 x 400 mm to 530 x 1,000 mm. The maximum die-cutting size is 490 x 700 mm. The material thickness of paper and board ranges from 160 to 890 micrometres. Corrugated microflute board can also be processed.
