Packaging printer Springfield Solutions of Hull, UK, has installed its second HP Indigo WS6000 digital press to increase production capacity and expand its range of added-value digital solutions.
This investment also makes Springfield the first UK company site to install two WS6000 presses. Together with an HP Indigo WS4500 installed in 2008, the company now claims to have the largest installed capital base of industrial webstream technology in the UK.
“This is about expanding our ability to provide added-value decoration solutions to our clients,” states Albert Dass, Chairman of Springfield Solutions. “With the growing packaging portfolios of our clients and with print run lengths continuing their downward trend, the role that digital print can play in providing cost effective packaging print solutions is exploding exponentially.
“Digital print genuinely allows us to sell ‘solutions’. It allows us to provide opportunities for working capital reduction, personalisation and flexibility, as well great quality print.”
The WS6000 digital press operates at up to 30m/min for 4-colour jobs, and produces up to 90,000m2 or up to 300,000 linear m/month from numerous jobs, utilising single daily shifts. It supports repeat lengths of 317 x 980mm.
