A Chinese label converter in Suzhou, Advance Printing (Yali) Co, has recently installed its first Xeikon 3030Plus press with the help of long-term partner United Printing Co. 

The Xeikon 3030Plus is the narrow web higher capacity entry-level press and a member of the Xeikon 3000 Series presses. The series offers 1200 DPI imaging quality and is able to print on an unrivalled range of substrates without pre-coating or pre-treatment, including various self-adhesive materials such as co-extruded films, BOPP, PVC and PET, transparent/opaque films as well as paperboards.

Zhong Xiaochun, general manager of Suzhou Advance Co, commented, ‘We have been very impressed by the stability of the Xeikon 3030Plus Press and by its wide range of applications that have fully responded to the needs of our end-users. We cannot praise enough the many unique benefits we have been able to find with the Xeikon Press. Our company will be doing further marketing research into the additional applications Xeikon can offer in the very near future.’     

The full-rotary printing technology with variable repeat length guarantees that the press speeds are not affected by the label size and/or the number of colours used. Also included is the Xeikon X-800 Digital Front End.

The X-800 enables the easy implementation of variable data on labels or packages, even after the files have been ripped. The combination of the variable data capabilities and the top-notch printing quality makes the Xeikon 3000 Series an appropriate tool for the brand protection of labels and packages. 

Finally, the Xeikon 3000 Series presses also use the new QA-I toner, which meets all the applicable FDA guidelines for indirect food contact under room temperature and less severe conditions as well as direct food contact for dry food substances containing no surface oil or fat under the same conditions.
