Xeikon further expands its label substrate range to include PE

Xeikon labels cover the show floor at Labelexpo Europe 2011

Eede, The Netherlands, September 29, 2011 - Xeikon will showcase its latest additions to its ever-expanding family of label substrates for the Xeikon 3000 Series at Labelexpo Europe 2011, taking place at the Brussels Expo, Brussels, Belgium from 28 September to 1 October.
Visitors to the Xeikon stand will have the opportunity to see, for the first time, live demonstrations of the Xeikon 3500 printing on Cast PE, supplied by MACtac

As more and more label printers turn to digital print technology for their production, there is a growing demand for substrate flexibility in the digital arena. Xeikon is committed to meet this demand and since the introduction of theQA-I toner at IPEX 2010, its toner R&D group has worked closely with its partners to continuously expand its range of substrates for the Xeikon 3000 Series of digital label presses.
At Labelexpo Europe 2011, Xeikon will launch its latest addition to the substrate family: Cast PE labels, direct thermal labels and biodegradable materials.

"To date, the market perceived that it was impossible to use dry toner technology to print on PE," says Filip Weymans, Business Development Manager, Labels and Packaging, Xeikon. "Visitors to our stand will find out for themselves that it is now 100% achievable and with the highest levels of print quality.
A clear example what advantage dedicated toner development brings.
During the show, we will print live on to Cast PE material usingthe Xeikon 3500, so visitors can see the quality for themselves. The material is one of MACtac's recently MACtac certified label materials."

Biodegradable labels fit well with Xeikon's green credentials
With the drive to be more environmentally friendly, there is an increasing demand for more eco-friendly labels. The QA-I toner system used on all the Xeikon 3000 Series is a dry toner based technology. Because there are no solvents or cleaning products used during printing, there are no VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) emissions evaporating into the atmosphere.
This offers a healthy environment for print operators and a lower impact on greenhouse effects.
The dry toner technology is also 100% compatible with existing deinking and recycling processes.

Furthermore,the toner features a new polyester resin system with an environmental friendly catalyst which includes no organic tin compounds.

The Xeikon 3050 at the Package Printing zone will illustrate the versatility of the Xeikon technology. Live demonstrations on the press will run simultaneous with business presentation.
4 Different business opportunities will be addressed in great details (detailed schematic available at http://www.labelexpo-europe.com/visitors/package-printing-zone) :

1. Heat transfer printing - providing a solution to today's trends
2. Wet-glue and self adhesive labels in the wine and beverage market
3. The potential for digital printing in the folding carton market
4. From label and package to promotion - POP/POS
