HP will demonstrate its comprehensive range digital printing solutions under the unifying theme of “Your Digital Difference,” to help commercial printers and other print service providers to formulate strategies for their own digital printing futures.

Special application-based “zones” will be used in conjunction with leading industry partners, for marketing collateral, direct mail, books & manuals, photo specialty, labels, flexible packaging, indoor & outdoor signage, industrial wide-to-super-wide format, and specialty applications.
HP will also launch Indigo press w3250, one of the industry’s fastest, most productive, and only 7-colour digital web-fed press for high volume direct mail and publishing applications.

For high volume sheet-fed printing, the HP Indigo press 5000 features new enhancements that deliver accelerated monochrome printing (up to 16,000 copies per hour), gang stackers for unloading while printing, and an HP RIP Expansion Rack for expanded processing capacity.

Also being launched the HP Indigo Production Stream Server powered by Creo. Harnessing Creo Print On-Demand Solutions (PODS) technology, initially supporting the HP Indigo press 5000 and HP Indigo press 3050, this exclusively designed digital colour server provides a streamlined, professional workflow for maximum productivity, extended variable data printing and outstanding colour output. The Creo based HP Production Stream Server can be used to drive multiple output devices and is fully integrated using JDF with various workflows as for instance Kodak’s Brisque, Prinergy and Synapse prepress workflows.
The HP Indigo press ws4050 will be demonstrating end-to-end label production with a range of finishing options, and printing on a variety of substrates. The press is designed to meet market requirements for on-demand, high specification labels and can also be used for printing flexible packaging and shrink sleeve applications.

HP will demonstrate newly combined wide-to-super-wide format industrial digital printing portfolio. HP Industrial Printing (HPIP, formerly Scitex Vision) will be demonstrating the HP Scitex TJ8300 (formerly the Scitex Vision TURBOjet), and HP Scitex XL1500 (formerly the Scitex Vision XLjet Premium) wide and super–wide format digital printers, and the HP Scitex FB6700 (formerly the Scitex Vision CORjet Premium) for printing directly to corrugated and other rigid substrates.

Included in HP’s wide format showcase will be the recently launched low-solvent Designjet 9000s. The HP Designjet 9000s Printer Series’ robust printing technology with fast print speeds of up to 20 m2/h and low running costs sets new levels of productivity in outdoor printing while delivering high quality outputs at 720dpi with vivid colours and excellent durability using new outdoor media from HP. This high-performing, cost-effective six-colour solution makes low-solvent printing safe, productive and easy, helping foster the adoption of durable digital printing technologies.

The acquisition of Scitex Vision (now HPIP) alongside the OEM agreement with Seiko I Infotech to develop low solvent based printers, reaffirms HP’s strategy to expand its offering for the production of signs, banners, building wraps and vehicle graphics.

Also being demonstrated will be end-to-end solutions featuring the Designjet 130gp for newspaper and magazine proofing, the Designjet 5500 for digital fine arts and indoor signage, and HP’s broad portfolio of large format media and inks.

Included in the photo specialty application-base “zone” will be the recently launched HP Photosmart Pro B9180 A3+ printer targeted to prosumers and professional photographers, based on HP’s scalable printing technology (SPT) and an exclusively formulated line of HP Vivera pigment inks.
