DIGITAL digest 905

PGX-A has won a 2005 PIA/GATF InterTech Award for the Xeikon Print Protector, which enables digitally printed documents to be promptly finished and handled. It can be installed as an in-line option for all Xeikon presses or in an off-line sheet or rollfed operation. It applies a water/wax/silicone oil emulsion (non-UV) on both sides of the substrate. The protective emulsion dries immediately, keeping colors bright and accurate, eliminating damage to images from mail sorting systems and reducing the build up of static charges.
