HP Indigo V12 Beta Customers Invest in Additional Presses

HP has announced that three of its beta customers, All4Labels, Eshuis, and Nordvalls, have acquired an additional HP Indigo V12 Digital Press to continue bringing the HP Indigo value of digital to every print job.

The decision to invest in multiple V12 presses is due to it earning power - allowing the replacement of multiple flexo with a single V12, saving time, labor and waste. Shifting to an HP Indigo First production floor allow V12 users to grow their competitive edge by bringing the value of HP indigo digital print to any label.

Peter Overbeek, CEO, Ehsuis said: “What’s great about the V12 is that it makes the whole site more efficient by moving jobs we used to print on flexo or other HP Indigo presses and optimizes them on the V12. This way we can allocate each job to the press that fits it best.”

The HP Indigo V12 is the fastest narrow web digital press on the market, reaching 120 metres/min (400 linear feet)[1] for mid-and-long run jobs, increasing productivity whilst allowing users to control the press, and manage production, all while providing digital quality assurance.  HP Indigo V12 is using the cutting-edge LEPx technology build upon the HP Indigo LEP technology maintaining the same versatility and print quality in high speed. The LEPx is enabling label converters to profitably produce longer runs and many more jobs a day with variable graphics and content, LEPx also reduces labor costs, waste, and energy consumption.

Patrik Jenemark, CEO, Nordvalls commented: “Earlier this year, I said that growth is part of Nordvalls’ DNA. Investing in our second HP Indigo V12 in less than six months represents our commitment to advancing digital printing technology and our conversion from flexo to digital.”

The labels and packaging market development continues to be driven by technological advancements. The HP Indigo V12 Digital Press offers high-speed, profitable, precise, and sustainable digital label production. The press enables brands to meet sustainability goals by boosting the circular economy with end-to-end solutions that support product recyclability and responsibly sourced media, like FSC certified, PCW, compostable and more[2]. Additionally, by implementing just-in-time production for medium and long runs avoid inventory obsolescence and reduce production waste.

The installation of the HP Indigo V12 enhances productivity which can be even further optimized with E2E solutions like ABG's nonstop winding solution that allows label converters to increase the print efficiency of the HP Indigo V12 by 12%-25% and reduce the need for human touch. The combined capabilities of ABG's nonstop winding solution and the HP Indigo V12 ensure a streamlined intelligent production and overall operational efficiency.
