HP Indigo To Showcase Digital Printing at Labelexpo

August 2008
PALO ALTO, Calif.—HP has announced a lineup of speakers and production demonstrations appearing in the new multi-vendor Digital Printing Experience exhibit in Hall F at Labelexpo Americas, in Rosemont, Ill., Sept. 9-11.

HP will also present its portfolio of HP Indigo solutions for label and packaging converting in its booth, including the first North American showing of the new HP Indigo ws6000 Digital Press.

“HP is changing the impression of digital as a short-run, test-marketing solution for label converting,” said Rich Raimondi, vice president and general manager, U.S. Graphics Solutions Business, HP. “HP and some of its most dynamic customers are showing how HP Indigo presses are ideal high-volume technologies for converters and brand managers seeking smarter supply chain solutions.”

The Digital Printing Experience exhibit will feature an HP Indigo customer producing its clients’ jobs live on an HP Indigo press ws4500. In addition, the Digital Printing Experience will offer free seminars that will feature converters discussing the ways HP Indigo technologies provide new opportunities, improve productivity, and enhance their clients’ brands. HP customers participating in Digital Printing Experience exhibit seminars include:
Jay Dollries, president of Innovative Labeling Solutions, Hamilton, Ohio
Randy Duhaime, general manager, and John Dion, co-owner, of Dion Labels, Westfield, Mass.
Maui Chai, president of Flexible Technologies, Orem, Utah
Andrew Farquharson, president, Dow Industries, Wilmington, Mass.
Steve Smith and Peter Renton, co-owners, Lightning Labels, Denver, Colo.
Dan Welty, marketing director, MPSDigital, Lansing, Mich.
Terie Syme, operations manager, Prestige Label, Burgaw, N.C.

HP executives Christian Menegon, industrial business development manager, Indigo division, and Raymond Dickinson, category manager, enterprise graphics solutions, will also participate in Digital Printing Experience seminars.

The HP “Tower of Power,” which features real-time production of actual jobs, is a live demonstration of HP Indigo presses’ versatility. For the first time, the Tower of Power will be running outside of the HP booth as one of the main equipment demonstrations showing in the Digital Printing Experience exhibit. This year’s Tower of Power demonstration will feature Innovative Labeling Solutions printing some of its actual customer jobs on an HP Indigo press ws4500.

The HP Indigo press ws4500 will also be featured in HP’s booth at Labelexpo, #3223. Additional high-productivity converting solutions to be shown at the booth include the new HP Indigo WS6000 Digital Press in its North American debut, the new HP SmartStream Director and HP SmartStream Label and Packaging solutions powered by EskoArtwork.
