Felix Schoeller Digital Media supported the Xeikon Café event – held in Lier, Belgium in October ­­– as a business partner. The fact that the event’s main theme was wall decoration gave Felix Schoeller the opportunity to showcase the product portfolio it has put together especially for Xeikon. The paper manufacturer and printing specialists worked together to qualify nine papers for the presses.

The new product portfolio, which has not only wallpaper base but also other high end digital printing papers, opens up a whole range of new applications and design options for Xeikon customers. Anyone interested in knowing more can simply send an e-mail to ATovar@Felix-Schoeller.com to request a samples book with print examples.

In his presentation at the Xeikon Café, Michael Avermann, product manager for this product segment at Felix Schoeller, emphasised the versatility of wall decoration. He also gave his audience an insight into the market, along with information about future market trends.

‘We are delighted that Felix Schoeller is able to offer our customers a broad portfolio, which gives them a huge choice of products and a host of possibilities to develop their business. We have joined forces and been able to develop other opportunities – in addition to wallpaper – for exciting digital printing application,’ said Monika Olbricht, sales director for Document Printing, summing up the productive collaboration between the two companies.

The product portfolio that has been qualified for Xeikon printing presses consists of Felix Schoeller’s INSPIRE wallpaper range – both coated and uncoated in natural white, PE-coated papers with canvas and lustre surface finishes and a basis weight of up to 340 g/m² in bright white and alpine white, and high end uncoated digital printing papers in the E-Feel and E-Pure (150 to 230 g/m², alpine white) series.
