HP Launches 10 New 
Systems at Israel Event

• The HP Indigo 5600 (an enhanced version of the 5500), which has a 90-ppm speed in Enhanced Productivity Mode (EPM), uses invisible ink for security applications, and features an optional "one-shot" mode for printing on synthetic substrates. EPM is a new HP process that uses only cyan, magenta and yellow to produce results that look like four-color printing at speeds that are reportedly 33 percent faster.
• The HP Indigo 7600 (replacing the 7500), which prints 160 ppm in EPM and allows on-press effects like digital watermarking for document security, raised print and a textured effect that simulates embossing.
• The HP Indigo W7250 (replacing the W7200), with speeds up to 320 ppm in EPM for dedicated high-volume publishing applications. (HP noted that the enhancements on these three presses are field upgradable for existing HP Indigo 5500, 7500 and 7000 presses, to protect customers' investments.)
• The HP Indigo 10000, reportedly the first offset-quality digital press in a B2-size format (29.5x20.9˝). Probably the biggest news of the event, the seven-color digital press prints 3,450 sheets per hour (4,600 sph in EPM) and features auto duplexing, registration cameras and an inline spectrophotometer.
• The HP Indigo 20000 Digital Press, a continuous-feed press designed for flexible packaging; and the 30000 Digital Press, a sheetfed press designed for folding cartons.
• The new HP T410 and T360 Inkjet Web Press systems, which boast increased print speeds of up to 800 feet per minute in monochrome (25 percent faster than previous models) and color print speeds of up to 600 fpm. Advanced inkjet print head technology and nanotechnology pigment inks support these higher speeds.
• The HP T230 Inkjet Web Press, using new print heads and inks to increase print speeds up to 400 fpm for both color and monochrome.
• HP Print Module Solutions, for adding color images, graphics and variable data to preprinted documents at 800 fpm.
