To meet specific resolution requirements Xeikon has developed the new PX-Cure LED HD inks to ensure better curing and sustainability benefits.
Jeroen Van Bauwel, director of Solution Design at Xeikon, says: “As inkjet technology continues to mature, there’s a clear need to update Xeikon’s Panther portfolio with a higher resolution option to meet specific customer requests.
Consequently, we’re now introducing a 1,200dpi engine to complement the existing 600dpi product range.
“The new Xeikon PX3300HD will extend the capabilities for printers by giving them the tools to reach excellent quality at even higher productivity levels in a TCO-friendly way (Total Cost of Ownership).”
The press is described as being “fully prepared” for hybrid printing with the option add Xeikon’s modular inline label converting units and a large unwinder for longer uninterrupted production runs.
