The XEIKON 5000 is the culmination of more than ten years of experience in digital colour printing. This makes it the first digital colour press designed to produce impeccable quality colour printing during short print runs and throughout print volumes running into the millions. The design of the XEIKON 5000 explores a new approach in sheet metal manufacturing. It moves away from the traditional rectangular design to something more daring, without compromising on the ever important production cost. The new approach contains a totally new style language, born out of a thorough analysis of manufacturing techniques, ergonomics, and user actions. With its radical and sculptural look, the housing of the XEIKON 5000 has set new stakes in the world of machine construction and is as breathtaking as it is cost-effective.
