During a visit to the Xeikon stand, show goers will have the chance to traverse a timeline of Xeikon technology innovations. In addition, Xeikon has created a “Customer Walk of Fame” which gives visitors the opportunity to speak with these customers.

Commenting on Xeikon’s presence at drupa, Michael Ring, VP of WW Marketing says, “This year, we felt it would be great to offer a completely new and fresh perspective of the company – one that comes directly from our customers.

“Our customers are working with our solutions day in and day out. As a result, they are in a perfect position to offer a view on what it’s like to partner with Xeikon.”

Trillium is the first implementation of Xeikon’s High Viscosity Toner (HVT) technology, formally called Quantum by Xeikon. At drupa 2012, Xeikon will demonstrate a Trillium prototype.

The prototype incorporates this new High Viscosity Toner (HVT), a breakthrough that will enable printing at high speeds as well as lower costs, while maintaining the highest level of image quality and eco-sustainability, according to Xeikon.

Alongside side Trillium, Xeikon will introduce a full array of new products. These include:

• The new Xeikon 8000 Series for the document printing market enabling all users – from smaller short-run print shops to large print service providers – to take advantage of the company’s top-end technology that delivers best-in-class quality, flexibility in speed and substrate range, and reduced printing costs.

• Three application-specific Suites for the label & packaging markets (self-adhesive labels, heat transfer labels and newly announced folding carton) with the Xeikon 3000 Series of digital label presses at the core, integrated with application-specific toners, workflow software, substrate and equipment components.

• ThermoFlexX, the launch of a new product line of reliable, high quality imagers for the flexographic and letterpress markets.

• Xeikon Color Control, a cloud-based service that enables printers to offer their customers repeatable and predictable colors and the best simulation of custom spot colors.
