HP Indigo Division Reports Record Performance in 2007

In the photo merchandise market, HP recorded greater than 100 percent page growth, spurred by a proliferation of larger multi-press installations and competitive replacements. HP provides digital press technology to the world’s leading producers of photobooks and other photo merchandise products, including companies such as CeWe Color Holding AG, Oldenburg, Germany, and Asukanet Co. Ltd., Hiroshima, Japan. As with leading marketing collateral providers, several leading photo industry firms installed multiple presses in 2007. U.S. firm Reischling Press Inc. (RPI), Tukwila, Wash., was among those photo industry leaders, and added the capacity of eight additional HP Indigo press 5000s in 2007, in addition to nine HP Designjet Z6100 large-format printers used to print dust jackets.
