This achievement represents the first time Xeikon has fully validated embossed substrates for the TX500, CX500 and CX50. Xeikon’s latest dry toner technology, Titon toner, provides these substrates with outstanding abrasion resistance and chemical durability, eliminating the need for additional varnishing or coating.

Traditionally, printing on deeply textured or embossed surfaces digitally has presented challenges regarding ink adhesion and consistency. The validation of Etten’s new range on the TX500 proves that Xeikon’s technology can not only handle complex textures but also deliver the durability required for wall decoration.

The synergy between Etten’s substrate engineering and Xeikon’s toner technology ensures that the print penetrates the texture perfectly while maintaining high scratch resistance. This validation confirms that print service providers can now offer true embossed wallcoverings that meet rigorous industry standards for durability directly from the press.

"This validation is important for the digital wall deco market. We are able to validate true embossed substrates that perform flawlessly across our TX500, CX500, and CX50 presses. The combination of Etten’s textured media and our Titon toner technology delivers a level of durability and quality that was previously difficult to achieve without post-coating." Hans Verberckmoes, Application Manager Xeikon

The newly validated range includes five distinct textures, each designed to offer unique visual and tactile experiences for premium interior décor.

"We are thrilled to see our new embossed range validated on Xeikon’s leading digital presses. The results on the TX500, CX500, and CX50 exceeded our expectations in terms of print definition and runnability. This partnership opens up exciting new possibilities for our customers to create high-value, textured wallcoverings on demand."– Jan-Willem Mols. Product Development Director Etten BV
