Accu-Label’s David and Catie Manning
The first North American installation of the Xeikon Cheetah has been completed at Accu-Label, Inc. making it the third pilot site in the world.
Located in Fort Wayne, Indiana, the company has added Xeikon’s new press to complement its existing production platform, which includes a Xeikon 3500, installed last year, as well as flexographic printing solutions.
The Cheetah is a highly productive five colour digital label press available with speeds of 30 m/min. The investment will enable the company to respond to evolving client demands, expand into new markets and optimise its production processes.
‘We chose Xeikon because they really understood our business and challenges. Our experiences with their customer support, technical service and consulting services have been outstanding,’ explained David Manning, Accu-Label’s founder.
‘Of course, speed was a big consideration, but there was more… we are a company that has always been dedicated to providing the best quality printing and a high level of service. For us, it doesn’t matter how fast a press goes if we can’t deliver a quality product. We felt the Xeikon Cheetah gave us both speed and better quality than other digital printing technologies currently available on the market. The Xeikon team showed us how installing the Xeikon Cheetah would help us meet the specific demands of our customers while ensuring superior quality. Having this flexibility is a fundamental market differentiator for us.’
