HP Indigo V12 beta customers invest in additional press

Three of HP’s beta customers—All4Labels, Eshuis and Nordvalls—have each acquired an additional HP Indigo V12 digital press, citing its efficiency in replacing multiple flexo presses and reducing time, labor, and waste.   

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 claimed to be the fastest narrow web digital press on the market, reaching 120m/min (400 linear feet) 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 uses the LEPx technology built upon the HP Indigo LEP technology maintaining the same versatility and print quality at high speed. The LEPx enables label converters to produce longer runs and multiple 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, 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, such as FSC certified, PCW and compostable. Additionally, implementing just-in-time production for medium and long runs avoids inventory obsolescence and reduces production waste.

The installation of the HP Indigo V12 enhances productivity which can be even further optimized with E2E solutions such as ABG's nonstop winding solution that allows label converters to increase the print efficiency of the HP Indigo V12 by 12-25 percent and reduce the need for human touch, HP claims.
