Xeikon has launched a new dry toner-based digital colour press, the Xeikon 9800 which will be demonstrated for the first time at the Hunkeler Innovationdays this week. The Xeikon 9800 will replace the Xeikon 8800 press in its family of digital color production presses, complementing the 8500 and 8600 presses. The Xeikon 9800 digital color press uses Xeikon’s new QA-CD toner, delivering Xeikon print quality at speeds up to 21.5 metres per minute at reduced consumables cost.
Xeikon will be taking orders for the new Xeikon 9800 digital press as of now, with deliveries scheduled for Q4 this year. Monika Olbricht, sales director Document Printing Europe, Xeikon says, “This new press signals our strong belief in the value of dry toner printing as well as business opportunities in the document printing space. Xeikon will continue to invest in this technology for the foreseeable future, bringing innovation along with added quality and functionality to our customers. The new Xeikon 9800 digital color press is an excellent example of this strategy in action.” The Xeikon 9800 can print on a wide range of untreated substrates ranging from a lightweight 40gsm to 300gsm. Its adapted Xeikon QA-CD toner and Xeikon’s high-quality imaging system deliver a print resolution of 1200×3600 with variable dot density for quality. Integrated with the variable data capabilities of the Xeikon X-800 front-end, this press is suited for high-end direct marketing work. At speeds of up to 21.5m per minute, the Xeikon 9800 is the most productive digital colour press in the Xeikon portfolio with 5/5 single-pass duplex printing. Available QA-CD toners include CMYK, red, green, blue, extra magenta and superblack as well as white and clear (UV reflecting) toner. Upon request, Xeikon can also provide special colors specified by print production operations and their brand owner clients.
