Features Digital Printing Printing
Xeikon X-800 6.0 integrates with Xeikon digital platforms

Xeikon has announced the newest version of its X-800 digital front-end (DFE), saying it is upgradable to all press-models from the Panther UV inkjet presses: the PX3000 and PX2000 to the Xeikon 3000 series to the Cheetah series for labels and the Xeikon 8000 and 9000 series for the graphic arts markets.

The solution, according to Xeikon, enables print service providers to reduce job preparation time, automate converting and serve a new business which can only be enabled through digital print, such as variable data.

“From label and packaging converters to operations with high-volume data throughput requirements, the latest version will help them streamline their workflow, reduce job preparation time for even the most complex work and become more responsive and efficient,” says Filip Weymans, Vice President Marketing at Xeikon. “Our X-800 DFE is designed from a digital printing perspective to outperform any other DFE in the market when it comes to the level of automation possible. X-800 6.0 strongly focuses on enhancing operational capabilities, one of which is automated impositioning. Streamlining this process can easily help operations save hundreds of prepress and job preparation hours per year. This alone delivers a clear and measurable value.”
