Continual Production Investments
We are always looking for ways to improve the quality of our products and the efficiency of our operations. This dedication to continuous improvement is evident in our investment in three state-of-the-art commercial printers: two HP Indigo 7Ks and one HP Latex r2000. These cutting-edge machines have been carefully selected to enhance our capabilities, providing a wide range of applications and delivering customer satisfaction through premium print products.
Capable of a staggering output of up to 160 pages a minute and up to 5 million pages a month, the HP Indigo 7K printers are workhorses that can run at high volume day in and day out. This capacity ensures that we can meet even the most demanding deadlines without sacrificing quality.
The HP Indigo 7K printers offer over 20 specialty inks, including Silver, Premium White, invisible yellow, scratch-off, fluorescent pink, and more. This gives us the flexibility to meet a wide range of design needs, opening up endless application possibilities.
Beyond its impressive speed and ink options, the HP Indigo 7K comes equipped with a suite of automated tools for print queue optimization, defect detection, and color control. These features allow us to keep our presses in top condition, identify potential issues before they occur, and maintain consistency in our print quality— all thanks to machine learning algorithms.
The HP R2000 printer brings an exciting array of capabilities. From rigid to flexible materials, this printer can transform almost any material with stunning colors and the glossiest of whites. It enables us to produce everything from indoor/outdoor signage to thermoforming and high-quality decoration, expanding our portfolio to a wide range of applications.
