HP Indigo WS6800p Digital Press
A production line for photo products
The unique attributes of HP Indigo printing technology have made it the premier digital photo printing solution worldwide. Enabled by HP Indigo’s liquid ElectroInk technology and unique digital offset process, HP Indigo delivers prints with true photo quality that exceed the quality achieved by silver halide. Up to 7 ink stations on the press enable use of HP Indigo’s special photo inks. The press operates at 98 feet per minute for 4-color jobs, and 65 feet per minute in 6 colors. Web-fed paper handling enables continuous printing. Inline connectivity to laminators and cutters contributes to the uninterrupted, continuous production. An automated early detection and quality control system helps find and highlight inconsistencies between the digital file and the printed images. The 12.48 x 38.58 inch printing area opens production possibilities for long format applications such as lay-flat books, long book covers and calendars. For small format jobs, efficient imposition reduces media waste and produces more copies for the same cost. The press feeds substrates from 27 lb text to 130 lb cover, including real photo papers and canvas. An option for an inline priming system (ILP) allows feeding of standard papers. The HP Indigo Photo Prints Solution offers a full digital solution in conjunction with partners that provides the look and feel of consumer and professional photographs including customized solutions, from pre-press through printing and finishing. HP PrintOS is a print production operating system with a set of web and mobile apps that help you get more out of HP Indigo presses, and simplify and automate your production. Use PrintOS to continuously improve operations. Enjoy PrintOS to manage any number of jobs from submission to shipment. Access the open and secure cloud based PrintOS anytime and anywhere.
HP Indigo value for photo
HP Indigo’s liquid electrophotography (LEP) technology, using HP Indigo ElectroInk with minute ink particles, delivers high resolution, uniform gloss, and sharp images with a very thin ink layer that is almost transparent, exposing the natural attributes of the paper for a fine photo finish. HP Indigo printing with CMYK delivers high-definition photos. For high-end professional photo quality, light cyan and light magenta produces smoother images and tone transitions. Light black and light light black inks produce superior grayscale images for black and white photography and mixed color and black and white imagery. Color profiles and screens deliver superior smoothness and color uniformity. Use automated color management tools and the inline spectrophotometer to easily meet color standards and achieve color accuracy and consistency across Indigo presses, sites, and time. Reprints will match even when printed weeks apart. An independent testing institute, Wilhelm Imaging Research, has verified the permanence of HP Indigo photo prints. A WIR dark permanence rating of more than 200 years for HP Indigo prints ensures excellent long-term stability and freedom from gradual yellowing when stored in albums and other dark locations. The display quality of HP Indigo prints was also confirmed in WIR testing.
High versatility and productivity
The press enables the cost-effective production of photo canvas applications. E-CANVAS by Felix Schoeller, featuring perfect stretching and framing performance, is provided especially for HP Indigo presses. Produce a minimum of 30 panoramic canvas prints per minute. Offer formats including canvas split, canvas cluster, and gallery wrapped. Optimized E-PHOTO paper by Felix Schoeller is a real photo paper with a silver halide paper look and feel. Create a production line that can deliver 4 x 6 inch photos at a rate of 540 prints per minute. The long image format enables production of covers to complement book blocks printed on sheetfed Indigo technology. Use an extended range of compatible substrates with optimal folding attributes for the production of hard covers, soft covers, and dust jackets. Produce up to 1800 standard size photobook covers an hour. Produce professional 12 x 12 inch or 12 x 18 inch lay-flat books while printing simplex, long format pages, and using HP Indigo partner solutions.
Sustainability
Produce photo prints with HP Indigo digital presses and replace the need for the chemical development process used in silver halide (AgX) photofinishing. The HP Indigo WS6800p Digital Press has been independently verified for environmental credentials with the Green Leaf Mark by Intertek, one of the world’s leading independent certification and testing companies. The Regenerated Imaging Oil (RIO) system allows the press to be self-sustainable in imaging oil usage. Long lasting supplies reduce waste due to lower replacement frequency. As part of its environmental responsibility and as a service to customers, HP Indigo also has a comprehensive supplies take back program (may vary by country).
