Platinum Newsletter 2024

HP INDIGO Continuing our commitment to constant improvement, we made a significant investment in an HP Indigo press. Being renowned for its high standards within commercial printing, it was the obvious choice. As a result, our clients now seldom specify whether digital or litho printing is preferred, as this decision is typically dictated by cost. The HP Indigo press excels in delivering print quality comparable to litho, making it the preferred choice for design agencies and businesses alike. Its capacity to print white ink and utilise the seven-colour palette to achieve close approximations of most Pantone colours, rather than relying on spot colours, makes it a cost-effective and versatile choice. Quick setup times further minimise costs, solidifying its position as a valuable asset. Anthony remarked, “The press presents an array of unique features, incorporating white ink and fluorescent inks. When combined with the standard advantages of digital printing, like accommodating short runs and personalisation, the choice of the HP Indigo press for us was clearly a natural one. However, there was a minor issue with the Indigo - its size! We had to dismantle the ceiling to position the printer correctly.” Due to it’s versatility the Indigo has significantly expanded our packaging offerings, enabling us to produce one-off prototypes and small runs. Allowing businesses to visualise their packaging and make Well Done Katherine!
