Xeikon CX500 launches in North America

Printing United 2019 marked the North American debut of the Xeikon CX500 and its Wall Deco Discovery solution.

“This show breathes new life into trade events for our industry,” said Donna Covannon, Xeikon America’s Director of Marketing. “Most visitors to our exhibit were on the lookout for new revenue-generating applications and a number of them were commercial printers looking to expand into label, packaging and industrial applications. They were impressed by the power and versatility of our web-fed dry toner presses.”

Making its North American debut was the Xeikon CX500 digital press and its range of applications from direct mail marketing to wall coverings, POP/POS posters to paper cups, flexible stand-up pouches, large signage and a variety of roll-to-roll heat transfer and in-mold labels. The CX500 is a dry toner, roll-to-roll, five-colour digital label press driven by Xeikon’s digital X-800 front end. The Xeikon press has a web width of up to 20 inches and a full rotary printing speed of 98 feet per minute at 1200 dpi.
