Quality

The Xeikon 8000 has the best there is to offer in terms of quality, no matter how you look at it. 

Dry toner electrophotography

Engineered to perfection, the electrophotographic imaging process remains the quality and reliability standard in digital colour printing.

True 1200 dpi imaging quality

There is one specific LED for every 21 micron width of the paper, optimally conditioned and perfectly calibrated. Each LED can be addressed with 4 bits of information. The combination of real 1200 dpi and 4 bit makes this imaging technology unique. Xeikon offers the exceptional sharpness essential for today’s demanding customer.

Refined screening library

To exploit the 1200 dpi to the full extent Xeikon’s specialists designed the Pericles, a set of four different screenings, allowing screen rulings of up to 240 lpi. This way you can reach a higher level of quality with your Xeikon 8000.

Colour consistency

Two in-line densitometers and high-performance process algorithms provide uniform and accurate colours.
Press-to-press linearization, even for presses in different locations is guaranteed. Xeikon assures the perfect colour consistency over time and in-between presses you need. What’s more, the Xeikon 8000 running the Xeikon PA-toner is Pantone certified (pending).

Front-to-back registration

The renowned One-Pass-Duplex™ concept enables perfect registration and simultaneous double-sided printing, ensuring data integrity which is crucial for documents containing critical financial information.

Productivity

Web fed press

Like all Xeikon presses, the Xeikon 8000 is a high-speed web-fed digital colour press created for profitable printing. Reducing your production costs and time is our primary concern.

Astonishing printing speed

The Xeikon 8000 prints multi-page documents at an impressive speed of 230 A4 pages per minute, which translates into 244 letter size pages per minute and a duty cycle of 8,5 million A4 pages per month.

Unparalleled uptime

Speed alone is not enough to upgrade your productivity. The robust parts combined with Xeikon’s long-time experience and the best designers in the field result in a superior uptime of over 90% for real volume applications.

Transcend the limits of your production capacity and streamline your workflow with the Xeikon 8000.

DFE

Xeikon’s long history in the development of digital workflows becomes clearly visible in the latest generation of our X-800 front-end.

Fast and intelligent.

Thanks to Xeikon’s focus on industry standards, the X-800 enables the implementation of fully automated workflows while ensuring great operator flexibility. Xeikon’s own unequaled streaming technology guarantees top-notch performing throughput, while the integrated engine controller takes care of continuous output quality.

Open and transparent.

Because of its unique features the X-800 can be seamlessly integrated within your existing workflow and grow, depending on your current and future requirements. A modular and scalable approach in combination with a workflow partners program makes sure it fits in small environments with web-to-print solutions, as well as in those high-end variable data production plants.

Ease of use.

The X-800 has an easy manageable user interface that ensures an operator friendly use of the functionality that is comprised in the digital front-end. The easier the operator has access to its capabilities, the more the functionality is deployed.

Flexibility

Authentic and continued growth comes from securing new print jobs and offering real value to your customer. The Xeikon 8000 is a web-fed press that handles scalable paper widths of 320 - 512 mm with virtually no restriction in sheet length. It can help you find and fulfil those new business opportunities because it accommodates standard formats up to A2 full-bleed or B2 as well as non-standard formats. Ready to print the longest jobs on a wide range of paper stocks from 40 to 350 gsm, it can also print on a wide choice of other substrates such as polyester film, transfer material, and label stock adding a wide assortment of value-generating applications

Environment

A drive for eco-friendliness

When designing new products, Xeikon takes key environmental issues into account.

• The digital principle. Follow our lead and ‘print only what you need, reprint when needed’ reducing waste through minimal production, downsizing storage space and thus decreasing costs.
• Eco-objectives. Reducing the recycling cost of Xeikon products and solutions, meeting environment related product standards and customer requirements and minimizing the environmental impact during product life cycle are Xeikon’s eco-goals.
• Design strategies. Xeikon aims to attain its eco-objectives through raw material substitution or reduction, process efficiency improvement and energy usage, as well as life cycle and product disposal optimization.
• Xeikon digital press versus offset. Digital printing guarantees a significant reduction in raw materials as well as energy and water savings. What’s more, this printing process doesn’t cause water pollution and enables easy paper recycling thanks to its ‘good deinkable’ grade.
• Eco-friendly approach widely recognized. Xeikon was granted the Belgian Environmental Award for sustainable product development in 2003-2004 and honoured for its specifically designed and reusable packaging in 2007.
