On Demand scores first HP Indigo 7000 press for Australia

Progressive digital print company On Demand is the first to install the new HP Indigo 7000 Digital Press. 

The new press replaces one of the company’s existing HP Indigo 5000 presses.  The installation has given On Demand greater capacity enabling it to grow its business in variable data, direct marketing and photobooks.

Phillip Rennell of Currie Group HP Indigo’s Australian distributor said: “On Demand is at the leading edge of digital print.  The work the company is doing particularly in variable data is taking that medium to a new level.  The HP Indigo 7000 is the ideal press to drive growth.”

The HP Indigo 7000 Digital Press runs at a process speed that is 76 percent faster than the HP Indigo press 5500, enabling it to print 120 A4 pages per minute in colour, or 240 A4 pages per minute monochrome. The maximum print format of 317 x 464mm is larger than the HP Indigo press 5500 (317 x 450mm) giving it additional product versatility. Additionally, screen rulings of 144, 175 and 180lpi are available. The HP Indigo 7000 Digital Press processes substrates ranging in weight from 60 to 350g/m2. A paper supply unit comprising four drawers with an overall capacity of 6,100 sheets is provided as standard.

Capable of printing up to seven colours, the HP Indigo 7000 Digital Press can reproduce an extended gamut with the six-colour HP IndiChrome process, and an even wider gamut with the seven colour HP IndiChrome Plus process. The ability to match 97 percent of the PANTONE® Colour range with special colours, means that printers can reliably reproduce brand and corporate colours. The press is controlled by the new, scalable printing server of the HP SmartStream family that pushes the RIP performance contributes to increased productivity.
