Chinese label converter Suzhou Advance Printing (Yali) Co. has recently installed its first Xeikon 3030Plus Digital Label Press with the help of long-term partner United Printing Company.

Zhong Xiaochun, general manager of Suzhou Advance, comments: “We have been very impressed with 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 market research into the additional applications Xeikon can offer in the very near future.”

The new Xeikon 3030Plus is the digital press manufacturer’s “higher capacity” entry-level press offering and a member of the Xeikon 3000 Series presses. With five press models, the 3000 Series is the largest range of digital label press offerings on the market today, ranging from entry level to higher capacity options. All five models deliver the same 1200 dpi imaging quality and are able to print on a wide 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.

The Xeikon 3000 Series presses use Xeikon’s 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.

Xeikon’s recently appointed managing director for the Asia Pacific (ASPAC) region, Bent Serritsle, says, “The Asia Pacific printing industry is seeing unprecedented growth and the installation at Suzhou Advance Printing (Yali) Co reflects this. This success story is also a great testimony that our digital solutions are truly offering the flexibility, quality and creativity customers in this region are looking for and are really helping their businesses stay ahead of the competition.”
