Sydney Stone brings Xanté X-16, X-33 flatbeds to Canada

Sydney Stone, the exclusive Canadian distributor of Xanté Equipment, is bringing two new Xanté flatbed UV printers to Canada.

The printers were launched at Print 19 in Chicago to thousands of attendees in November 2019 and are now making their debut in Canada. Xanté explains that the X-16 and X-33 UV printers are designed to meet the needs of commercial and in-plant operations seeking economical and compact solutions for printing on the widest range of substrates possible.

“A lot of our clients shy away from flatbed UV printers as they require huge amounts of floor space. The X series solve exactly that,” says Michael Steele, President of Sydney Stone. The X-16 and X-33 are said to be easy-to-use, highly automated and provide “unparalleled output.”

The X’s include simultaneous printing with white ink and CMYK inks allowing the ability to print on various substrates including acrylic, metal, glass, ceramics and more. Adjustable height print heads for both models accommodate substrates up to 6 inches tall, delivering full-color printing at up to 1440 dpi resolution. The X-33 printer features a 24 x 36-inch bed with vacuum suction to hold substrates stable during printing, while the X-16 features a 18 x 24-inch bed. The systems are powered by iQueue, Xanté’s Adobe PostScript 3 PDF-based workflow software that powers the entire line of Xanté’s products.

The X-16 and X-33 will be available to purchase starting this month at www.printfinishing.com.
