XANTE CORPORATION

What XANTE CORPORATION does

XANTÉ CORPORATION is a privately held US manufacturer of digital printing equipment and workflow software, headquartered in Mobile, Alabama. The company's core product lines are UV inkjet flatbed printers (X-24 through X-121 series and the new XR-126 roll-to-roll), the En/Press and EnVite digital presses for envelopes and stationery, the Excelagraphix 4800 corrugated box printer, and the F-24 direct-to-film printer for apparel. Underlying technology is built around UV-LED curing inkjet printing on Epson i1600/i3200 printheads, with the En/Press integrating a patented Enterprise High Speed Feed System and in-machine PlateMaker 8 Inside for chemical-free polyester CTP, and the Excelagraphix leveraging Memjet Waterfall Printhead Technology.

All Xante printers ship with iQueue Workflow software, an Adobe PostScript 3 / Adobe PDF Print Engine-based RIP featuring AI tools (upscaler, image generator, image editor, chat assistant), RightON color matching, variable data, sequential numbering, imposition, and a library of 1,000+ design templates and 2,100+ specialty fonts. Revenue is generated through hardware sales ($12,995 to $87,995+), a standalone iQueue subscription ($1,495/year), consumables (inks, printheads, plates, powder, films) sold via shop.xante.com and Amazon, and third-party equipment financing arranged through Ascentium Capital. The customer base is concentrated in SMB print shops, sign makers, schools, local government, and micro-businesses, distributed through direct phone/web sales, a dealer registration program, and international/Europe contacts. Strategic partnerships include Agfa (exclusive worldwide distribution of Myriad 2 polyester plates), Memjet, and Adobe.
