Increased productivity, simplified colour management and new capabilities for high value applications are promised for two new digital presses from HP.
The roll-fed HP Indigo WS6800 Digital Press offers label and packaging converters faster turnaround times through automated colour management, a frame increased from 317mm to 320mm, and new ink capabilities for expanded applications. Label converters can produce up to 131 linear feet/min in colour using Enhanced Productivity Mode (EPM). A new, high definition 223 lpi screen provides increased colour gamut space.
The other new model is the sheet-fed HP Indigo 7800 Digital Press, offering the ability to print directly on synthetic substrates and plastics cards, and colour management with an in-line spectrophotometer.
Initial shipments of the HP Indigo 7800 and WS6800 Digital Presses are beginning this month. Their features are expected to be available as optional field upgrades in early 2015.
