The inks are so soft, you can usually rub them off with your knuckle. HP downplays this, but it’s a real problem.

Make sure a good UV coater is part of your capital plan. HP’s service department is the best of any of our vendors by a wide margin. There are a lot of medium sized runs of things like static cling, or PVC, that would be really expensive to produce with UV Inkjet, but are not big enough runs for analog production methods.Ħ Color process works really well to simulate everything from Reflex Blue to PMS 185. With a 12,000, you will actually be really competitive vs some large format jobs. It uses a blanket and does really well on textured papersġ-Shot allows you to print on synthetic substrates. It makes for much better outcomes in bindery.ĮPM mode works pretty well in a lot of cases.

This means that rather than waiting for a service tech when something goes awry, we can usually make repairs in house and be up and running in hours rather than days. We have a maintenance contract that includes a high level of training for the operator called “Shared Maintenance” and HP allows us to keep many spare parts on site. There is a huge improvement in reliability on the Indigo vs the Xerox we had before. The quality and breadth of substrates available has provided the opportunity to jump into new and different markets, like labels and folded cartons.

That press has been a game changer for us. We replaced a ColorPress 1000 with an Indigo 7900 a few years ago.
