HP Indigo Presses Support New Markets for Printers
Several HP Indigo-certified flexible packaging substrates are available, including films from Exxon Mobil, Hanita Coatings, NORDENIA, and Walki, as well as newly certified substrates from Charter Films and Innovia Films.
“HP Indigo technology provides Foster Packaging with the print quality of gravure, without the minimum order quantities, lead time or set up waste and costs needed for gravure or flexographic printing,” said Joe Foster, president and managing director for Foster Packaging in Dunleer, Ireland, and Cape Town, South Africa. “Our company supplies exquisitely eye-catching flexible packaging for consumer packaged goods that are converted with specialized lamination and pouch-making equipment aligned to our HP Indigo WS6000. The response to our digital printing capabilities has been amazing, especially when customers see that we can serve them in quantities that meet their just-in-time supply chain needs.”
