All Xeikon digital printing engines take advantage of Xeikon’s X-800 digital front-end.

  • Modular set-up
  • Scalable design
  • Usable in any production environment

Advantages

Based on open standards, the X-800 can be integrated into any production environment. Its modular set-up allows users to manage different aspects of production in the most efficient manner possible. Pre-press functions, such as impositions and colour management, can be performed in the pre-press environment, allowing the press operator to focus on print quality. This contributes to higher press throughput and increased productivity on Xeikon presses.

Technology

Productivity and quality

Benefit from the X-800’s numerous features to minimise downtime and increase productivity while maintaining maximum flexibility and quality:

  • Unequalled streaming technology
  • Integrated engine controller
  • Intelligent load balancing
  • RIP-while-print
  • Parallel RIP-ing and compression
  • Post-RIP impositioning
  • Page picking
  • ICC colour management
  • Post-RIP colour adjustment

Modular architecture

The X-800’s powerful functions are provided in separate modules. All server modules can be installed on the X-800 streamer system or on one or more Windows-based platforms to form a personalised workflow. This modular architecture also allows you to separate the pre-press functionality from the press operation, which simplifies your operators’ tasks.

Scalable design

The X-800 boasts multi-threaded software, which makes it highly scalable. You can take advantage of multiple CPUs on one system or add additional offline RIP platforms to provide extra processing power if needed. The X-800 is compatible with all the Xeikon engines along the upgrade path, making it easy to grow your business.

Metadata

To enable tracking of your productions from print to delivery or to prevent counterfeiting, the X-800 allows dynamic addition of production data or other variable elements, such as sequential numbers or barcodes, to already RIP-ed documents.

Open standards

Thanks to our focus on open industry standards, the X-800 enables the implementation of fully automated workflows in any production environment. It ensures seamless integration and connectivity with your existing workflow and any market-leading applications (MIS solutions, design packages, workflow systems, etc.). By minimising human intervention, automation improves accuracy and repeatability, and reduces errors, which results in enhanced productivity and cost savings.
