HP is showcasing the HP Indigo 7800 and 30000 Digital Presses, as well as new services for the first time in the  United States, demonstrating continued graphics industry innovation and  customer success.   As the printing industry shifts from static  jobs that compete on cost-per-piece to high-value applications with  faster turnaround times, the HP Indigo 7800 and 30000 Digital Presses  and new HP Service Advantage portfolio enable print service providers  (PSPs) to capture additional business, offering print buyers a broader  application range and greater value.  

    

“Brands are challenging  PSPs to redefine traditional print deliverables and timetables,  requesting creative new printed pieces in short runs with deadlines that  are only feasible with digital printing,” said Yishai Amir, vice  president and general manager, Americas Graphics Solutions Business, HP.  “At GRAPH EXPO 14, we’re demonstrating new presses, unique applications  and introducing HP Service Advantage to help our customers address  these changing market demands and stand out from the competition.”  

 

Customers shape the future of print with HP digital printing solutions

The HP Indigo 7800 and 30000 Digital Presses, winners of GRAPH EXPO 14 Must See ’Ems Awards, and the HP Indigo 10000 Digital Press, a 2013 InterTech Technology Award winner, will be on display in HP booth 1913.   Since  its launch in June 2014, the HP Indigo 7800 Digital Press has seen  strong worldwide adoption, including two installations at West Chester,  Pennsylvania-based ANRO Inc. The HP Indigo 7800 Digital Press offers  ANRO a new color management experience with an in-line  spectrophotometer, improved productivity and a range of new  capabilities, including the ability to print directly on synthetic  substrates with One Shot Color technology.   “We are always  seeking ways to provide more value to our customers through unique  applications and improved automation for faster turnarounds,” said Paul  DeSantis, director of information technology, ANRO. “We are proud to be  the first company in North America to install two HP Indigo 7800 Digital  Presses, and we are already leveraging the new capabilities for  high-value applications on a variety of substrates, including window  signage on synthetic media.”   Especially designed for folding  carton production, the HP Indigo 30000 Digital Press has had 10  worldwide installations since its commercial availability in July 2014.  The press will be shown inline with the Tresu iCoat coater. Customers  that have recently installed the HP Indigo 30000 Digital Press include:

  • City  of Industry, CA-based Marrs Printing & Packaging, which is creating  high-quality custom packaging for the hardware and automotive,  housewares & appliances, cosmetics and pharmaceutical industries.
  • Fitchburg,  Massachusetts-based Boutwell, Owens & Co., a full-service designer  and manufacturer of printed paperboard packaging, which is expanding  into digital printing to grow its folding carton packaging capabilities  for retail applications.
  • Germany-based Pfaffle, which is also  making its first move into digital printing with high-end confectionary  applications, complex finishing and embellishment.

“Our  industry is driven by quality and innovation, which requires us to keep  up with the latest technologies, but for decades, this only included  traditional, offset innovation,” said Scott Marrs, general manager,  Marrs Printing & Packaging. “We have been waiting for digital print  to step into the game, and when we saw the HP Indigo 30000 we knew we  had to be one of the first to bring it on board, understanding the  positive impact it could have in building the future of our company.”  

 

Growing customers’ businesses with services innovation

HP  is introducing HP Service Advantage, an integrated services portfolio  that enables predictable printing operations and optimized cost  structure. HP Service Advantage includes two new service technologies, HP Predictive Press Care  and HP Visual Remote Guidance, in addition to two established technologies, HP Print Care and HP Smart Uptime Kit.   HP  Predictive Press Care technology minimizes unplanned downtime with  early, information-rich alerts, flagging upcoming press issues for  preemptive repairs and maintenance. Enabling press operators to resolve  issues faster, HP Visual Remote Guidance provides real-time audio and  visually-guided support from a remote engineer using wearable technology  through HP MyRoom.(1) These new service technologies help customers  increase productivity and profitability.
