New York City-based Multi-Packaging Solutions, Inc. (MPS) is launch customer for HP Indigo 30000 digital press.
The company will use the press to expand its digital print offerings for the packaging market and to address the needs of its folding carton customers, which account for 60-70% of its annual business.
‘Since first seeing the Indigo 30000 at drupa 2012, I have truly believed that this press has the functionalities to fulfil a market gap in digital print that has lingered for years,’ said John Cote, vice president of innovation and manufacturing technology.
‘As the needs of our customers have evolved in complexity, size and scope, we at MPS have searched for a press that is flexible, end-to-end in workflow, and supportive of critical data driven brand security measures without sacrificing quality. The HP Indigo 30000 is the only solution that we found to effectively meet all of these criteria and provide us with the added values of cost savings and efficiency.’
The press combines the quick setup and easy integration of a 75 cm sheetfed format with printing capabilities of up to 24 points (600 microns), and seven HP ElectroInk colour printing stations that offer the offset-matching print quality.
Its capabilities are enhanced with an embedded Esko-driven front end and an integrated Tresu iCoat 30000, which contains both aqueous and UV spot coating functionalities.
Combined, these solutions will optimise MPS’s supply chain to help increase efficiency, boost revenues and improve its environmental rating while also facilitating the printing of numerous high-value security, variable data and customer-engaging marketing applications.
