HP Indigo Showcases Labels and Packaging Innovation at Labelexpo 2015Portfolio advancements and continued customer adoption demonstrate growing digital market opportunity

BRUSSELS, Belgium, Sept. 29, 2015 Today at Labelexpo 2015, HP Indigo showcased labels and packaging portfolio innovation, including new product features and upgrade packages, software enhancements for mass customization as well as new financing options. These new innovations allow more customers to capitalize on the growing digital opportunity in a market where they are already achieving 30 percent page growth year over year.(1)

With mounting pressure from brands to deliver differentiated, high-quality labels and packaging at faster and faster turnaround times, converters and PSPs are constantly looking for new avenues for growth and expansion, said Alon Bar-Shany, vice president and general manager, Indigo Division, HP. New HP Indigo cross-portfolio innovations, including breakthrough color management and higher productivity and versatility, allow our customers to remain a step ahead of the market, time and time again.

Expanded narrow-web capabilities and worldwide customer installations

HP is demonstrating new HP Indigo WS6800 Digital Press innovations, boosting color capabilities and productivity. New features include:

Color Automation Package, a new, best-in-class digital color matching solution that uses the press' inline spectrophotometer and new HP Indigo Labels & Packaging Print Server capabilities powered by Esko, offering converters a quick and easy process to match brand spot colors from the first label to the last. Labelexpo attendees will have the opportunity to test this new color solution as part of a color challenge held in HP's booth.

A new HP ElectroInk Fade Resistant Ink set, enabling high-value applications with high light-fastness for use outdoors.

Enhanced media versatility, ease of use, and lower cost of operation with the new Michelman DP680 Primer.

Integration with industry-leading digital workflow solutions, including web-to-print solutions designed for labels and packaging product ordering, as well as new proofing, pre-press and automation tools.

HP SmartStream Designer integration with security solutions to create microtext variable data printing (VDP), anti-counterfeit QR codes, dynamic guilloche, and end-to-end track and trace solutions.

The industry's best-selling narrow-web press series, the HP Indigo WS6000 Digital Press series now boasts installations in more than 60 countries with an installed base nearly doubling over the past two years.(2) Marking the 1,000th HP Indigo WS6000 series press purchase worldwide, Italian worldwide group EUROSTAMPA is adding a fifth press their HP Indigo narrow-web portfolio with an HP Indigo WS6800 Digital Press, to produce custom labels for wine and liquor brands. Other recent HP Indigo WS6800 purchases include:

Graficas Varias in Spain, who specializes in label production for wineries and champagne brands.

U.S.-based Labels Specialties, a privately-held wholesale custom label manufacturer, adding digital printing capabilities for the first time to increase production flexibility and deliver faster turnaround times.

U.S.-based Dion Labels, a legacy label printer using two new HP Indigo WS6800s to expand into shrink sleeves, cost-effectively produce long- and short-runs, as well as achieve high-quality, consistent color results.

The HP Indigo WS6800 is a terrific advancement, with features that deliver what we wanted to achieve most from digital printing, said John Dion, President,Dion Labels. Advanced color capabilities, including color consistency using the inline spectrophotometer, allow us to save time and reach optimum color much faster.

Designed for use with the HP Indigo 20000 Digital Press, the Comexi Nexus L20000 laminator is launching at Labelexpo and is demonstrated in HP's booth.

The first dedicated digital presses designed for packaging converters, HP Indigo 20000 and 30000 Digital Presses have reached 70 units sold worldwide since 2014 commercial availability, with six customers installing multiple presses. Recent HP Indigo 20000 purchases include:
