High Seas In-plant

The press was installed by Digital People, an HP Indigo distributor, while the ship was docked in Germany.

“The press had to be dismantled on land in order to fit through the one-meter-wide ship doors, and then reconstructed inside the ship’s pressroom,” says Chris Blanchard, business development manager at Digital People. “To ensure that the printing system worked effectively we also had to consider the variable power supply of the ship. Digital People liaised with HP Indigo engineers in Israel to overcome this problem and to ensure that the press could operate efficiently with a suitable voltage stabilizer on board the ship.”
