Following a successful beta test, German online print shop Saxoprint has confirmed that it is moving its HP Indigo 100K into regular operation.
The company, which employs 500 people, produces office equipment such as business cards, stationery, brochures, flyers and folders as well as being responsible for advertising technologies such as roll-ups, covers and promotional items across Europe.
‘We have been able to properly test the HP Indigo 100K since mid-2019,’ explained managing director Klaus Sauer. ‘Up to this point, we did not have any experience with an HP Indigo press. However, our parent company has been relying on the quality of the HP Indigo presses for many years and we were quickly convinced by the technology in the test run, too. The installation of the machine, as well as the onboarding and the training went very smoothly and without any problems.’
A decisive factor in the installation of the HP Indigo 100K was the ease with which the company was able to integrate the press into its existing hybrid workflow and machine park.
‘In our hybrid production environment, offset and digital presses coexist productively side by side, enabling us to achieve high added value and maximum efficiency,’ Mr Sauer explained. ‘The HP Indigo has seamlessly integrated into the system and complements the existing presses perfectly.’
Other relevant factors included the print quality and high productivity of the press along with a print volume of up to 6000 B2 sheets per hour.
‘Today more than ever, the degree of automation is decisive for the cost-effectiveness of the entire production process, which is why we are constantly optimising it,’ Mr Sauer finished. ‘We assume that the proportion of products that are printed digitally will continue to grow in the future and with the HP Indigo 100K, we are well equipped for this.’
