Description
Based on Xeikon Cheetah technology, the Xeikon CX3 digital label press has a top speed of 30 m/min (98 ft/min), 56% faster than any other model in the Xeikon press portfolio. The 1200 x 3600 dpi digital press is dedicated solely to the production of self-adhesive/pressure sensitive labels. It offers all the renowned benefits that make the Xeikon 3000 Series unique, including the use of dry toners that meet FDA regulations for food contact and the ability to print opaque white toner in one pass. It also enables printing on a variety of heat-sensitive substrates due to incorporation of Xeikon’s ICE toner technology which requires a much lower fusing temperature than typical toner-based presses. Xeikon presses are based on dry toner electro-photography. This enables
the use of conventional substrates that do not have to be pre-treated. Extremely high toner light-fastness and truly eco-friendly printing (no VOCs) are some of the other industry leading features of the Xeikon presses for digital label and package printing. In addition to the standard CMYK + White, the fifth station on the Xeikon X3 can be used to print gamut expansion colors or security toner. Media weights range from 40 gsm to 350 gsm.
