Turkish converter installs HP Indigo WS6000

Bilnet of Istanbul, Turkey, has installed an HP Indigo WS6000 digital press.

Established in 2007, Bilnet has quickly become one of Turkey’s leading print service providers with one of the biggest production capacities in the country. In addition to the recently installed WS6000, the 17,000 square meter facility includes an HP Indigo 5500, as well as 50 sheetfed offset units, four web offset units, 35 flexo and 13 letterpress units. This extensive portfolio of equipment enables Bilnet to offer a wide range of products such as general commercial print, text books, magazines and labels.

Cem Ozturk, president of Bilnet, said: ‘From our experience with the HP Indigo press 5500, we knew the creative possibilities provided by digital print technology and wanted to bring these opportunities to customers of our label products. In order to meet short production deadlines, deliver shorter print runs while also ensuring the same high-quality output as delivered by our existing equipment, we knew we had to install another HP Indigo press. The HP Indigo WS6000 seemed the obvious solution.

‘We work for many large multinational companies and, in addition to providing the best possible print quality, we wanted to offer these companies a route to new, innovative labels and packaging ideas. The extensive substrate versatility of the HP Indigo WS6000 coupled with its ability to print large run lengths or just one personalized label cost-effectively, allows us to do this. Not only that, but the HP Indigo WS6000 enables us to produce a proof, identical to the final product, while the customer is still drinking tea in the meeting room – that really makes a good impression.“

This quick delivery is enabled by the fast throughputs and efficient set-up times of the HP Indigo WS6000. Operating at 30m/min for 4-color jobs, it produces up to 90,000 square meters or 300,000 linear meters per month from numerous jobs.
