| Xeikon's new Walldeco Discovery Solution |
Xeikon is targeting short-run wall decoration with the launch of its Walldeco Discovery Solution at Heimtextil.
“Xeikon's breakthrough Walldeco Discovery Solution will convincingly demonstrate affordable, cost-effective short-run wall decoration production,” said a company press release.
The complete end-to-end digital solution will deliver 1200 dpi at speeds up to 300 m²/hour. The central element is the 4-colour Xeikon 3050 entry level industrial production press.
"Following last year's launch of our highly productive wall decoration digital production suite based on the Xeikon CX500 press, we quickly identified a demand for a medium capacity solution that delivers the same exacting standards,” said Dimitri Van Gaever, Xeikon business development manager graphic arts.
Heimtextil will run from 8-11 January, 2019 in Frankfurt, Germany.
