Flint Group Digital Xeikon throw out Ecolyne to support digital label printers

16 May 2026

Flint Group Digital Xeikon has announced the worldwide launch of Ecolyne, extending the availability of its subscription-based digital label production model beyond the Asia-Pacific market, where it was first introduced in late 2025. As production capacity expands, the company is now bringing Ecolyne to a broader global audience of converters and commercial printers looking for a more accessible route into digital label production.

At the heart of Ecolyne is a simple commercial proposition: customers do not purchase or own the press. Instead, they access digital label printing capacity through a fixed monthly fee, giving them a predictable cost structure and avoiding the large upfront capital expenditure often associated with digital label production. Flint Group Digital Xeikon manages the installation, service and uptime of the system, allowing customers to focus on production and business growth rather than equipment ownership and maintenance.

Frank Jacobs, Senior Product Manager, Flint Group Digital Xeikon, says: “Ecolyne was developed to answer a very practical market need. Many printers want to enter or expand digital label production, but they do not want to tie up capital in ownership from day one. With Ecolyne, they gain access to industrial digital label capacity through a fixed monthly fee, with Xeikon taking responsibility for installation, service and uptime.”

The Ecolyne model is particularly relevant in a market increasingly shaped by shorter runs, faster turnaround expectations and the need for greater production flexibility. It is also aimed specifically at smaller converters and printers looking to enter digital label production or expand their digital offering without taking on the financial and operational burden of a conventional capital purchase.

Ecolyne is a fully managed dry-toner digital label press designed for food-safe label production and a broad range of mainstream applications. The platform offers 1200dpi resolution, a 330mm web width, 25m/min print speed, and support for a broad range of label substrates with different face stocks.

To support this worldwide rollout of the Ecolyne, two Xeikon Innovation Days have been set aside in June to enable customers and prospects to experience the Ecolyne model first-hand and explore how subscription-based digital label capacity can support their growth plans:
