Abstract

Xeikon has recently introduced the new Xeikon 8000 digital press, the new Xeikon 33000 label press and a new “1200 dpi“ enabled version of the Xeikon 6000 digital pressThe integration of “true 1200 dpi” print head technology, new accelerator boards in the X800 digital front end and a powerful range of halftone screens in a novel screen library which is called “the Pericles“ have enabled a significant increase in the perceived image quality with higher image detail, reduced image noise and improved smoothness of tonal scales with screen frequencies up to 240 lpi.The “one pass duplex “ architecture of the Xeikon8000 and Xeikon6000 allows a high productivity with up to ten printing stations printing in parallel, realizing 230 ppm on the Xeikon 8000 while keeping the printing speed at a moderate level that does not compromise the achievable image quality.
