PALO ALTO, Calif.—HP has announced a lineup of speakers and production demonstrations appearing in the new multi-vendor Digital Printing Experience exhibit in Hall F at Labelexpo Americas, in Rosemont, Ill., Sept. 9-11.

HP will also present its portfolio of HP Indigo solutions for label and packaging converting in its booth, including the first North American showing of the new HP Indigo ws6000 Digital Press.

“HP is changing the impression of digital as a short-run, test-marketing solution for label converting,” said Rich Raimondi, vice president and general manager, U.S. Graphics Solutions Business, HP. “HP and some of its most dynamic customers are showing how HP Indigo presses are ideal high-volume technologies for converters and brand managers seeking smarter supply chain solutions.”

The Digital Printing Experience exhibit will feature an HP Indigo customer producing its clients’ jobs live on an HP Indigo press ws4500. In addition, the Digital Printing Experience will offer free seminars that will feature converters discussing the ways HP Indigo technologies provide new opportunities, improve productivity, and enhance their clients’ brands.

The HP “Tower of Power,” which features real-time production of actual jobs, is a live demonstration of HP Indigo presses’ versatility. For the first time, the Tower of Power will be running outside of the HP booth as one of the main equipment demonstrations showing in the Digital Printing Experience exhibit.
