IPG Visits HP Facilities in Israel

Though the timing of the event, in the midst of a tense standoff between Israel and Iran, was less than ideal, the tours and press conferences went off smoothly—despite Palestinian rocket attacks on Gaza that forced the postponement of a tour of the Kiryat Gat HP Indigo manufacturing facility.

At the kickoff press conference in Tel Aviv, Chris Morgan, senior vice president of HP's Graphics Solutions Business, announced 10 new digital systems, including the first offset-quality digital press in a B2 size format (29.5x20.9˝). The seven-color HP Indigo 10000 digital press will print 3,450 sheets per hour—4,600 sph in Enhanced Productivity Mode (EPM), a new HP process that uses only cyan, magenta and yellow to produce results that look like four-color printing.
