The new HP Indigo 200K Digital Press is based on the only field-proven digital technology for digital flexible packaging. The new, series 5, HP Indigo 200K digital press is designed to give digital flexible converters the competitive edge with better productivity, on-demand delivery, no minimum orders, unique designs, reduced energy consumption and minimal waste.
The digital press prints up to 56m/min (183 ft/min) and dramatically increases the productivity of high-margin, sustainable short runs of digital flexible packaging, to be delivered in days, not weeks.
‘The HP Indigo 200K is a mid-web digital press especially designed for converters addressing the needs of brands in flexible packaging, but it also serves the growing requirements of the label and shrink sleeve industries for higher productivity and wider format,’ said Noam Zilbershtain, VP and General manager of HP Indigo and Scitex.
The HP Indigo 200K digital press showcases a 30 percent increase in speed and 45 percent boost in productivity compared to the HP Indigo 25K (increased speed is based on Enhanced Productivity Mode). Featuring gravure-matching colour quality based on the HP Indigo Liquid Electro Photography (LEP) and One-Shot Color technologies, the new press offers the widest available range of ElectroInks and is designed to print high coverage packages with white on the majority of industrial substrates, both surface and reverse. Additional business opportunities include unique brand protection elements.
Following the announcement of UK-based Sirane Group as one of the press’ first beta customers, Peter Ralten, Commercial and Business Development Director said, ‘At Sirane, we have been looking into digital print for a while now, realising it is where the future lies. The HP Indigo 200K digital press, with its incredible increase in productivity, opens new business opportunities for us. With the unmatched HP Indigo quality and versatility, we can’t wait to see the results of adding it to our portfolio.’
The HP Indigo 200K digital press achieves efficient production with HP Indigo’s PrintOS software automation capabilities for batching, ganging, and variable data, as well as faster, accurate colour match and workflow. Automation tools for operator efficiency (operator efficiency is improved by optimised user interface, quick colour calibration, fast ink loading, and fast recovery), coupled with sustainable production, circular packaging and food packaging safety. Selected HP Indigo ElectroInks were tested for compostability against leading standards, and can be used, under certain limitations, as an ink for printing compostable packages – Industrial and Home Composting.
