HP Indigo completes Pantone Goe licensing

HP has announced the completion of the Pantone Goe licensing for the HP Indigo Ink Mixing System, making HP the only company among digital and analogue press providers to offer both on-press simulation and an ink mixing solution for the Pantone Goe System.

Additionally, HP has developed the industry’s first swatchbook for on-press Pantone Goe simulation. The new HP Indigo Pantone Goe simulation swatchbook will be included in Pantone and HP’s new version of the Digital Color Toolbox for the Pantone Goe System, a two-swatchbook bundle that offers a convenient way to compare solid Pantone Goe Colors with their simulations in HP Indigo four-color, on-press process.

This latest product offering further supports the accurate reproduction of Pantone Colors with HP Indigo digital color presses.

The new Pantone Goe license for the HP Indigo Ink Mixing System, together with the original Pantone Matching System license, produces more than 3,000 Pantone Colors, delivering the highest level of process-color simulation of Pantone Colors in the digital printing industry. HP Indigo Pantone Goe mixed inks will be available for HP Indigo customers in May 2008.

With the HP Indigo digital press support for Pantone Goe and the updated Pantone Goe version of the Digital Color Toolbox, print service providers and designers have an increased ability to plan and design high-quality applications with precise, vivid colors.
