HP Indigo GEM Digital Press

Fully digital, one pass printing and embellishment

After two decades leading digital printing, HP Indigo is changing the rules of labels printing again, with its next breakthrough – HP Indigo GEM, a one pass digital printing and embellishment solution, simplifying label embellishment processes and bringing to it the full advantages of digital print. Analog embellishment processes are complex and unfavorable in today’s environment, in which converters face demand for shorter print runs, growing SKU diversity, and faster turnaround. The increase of digitally printed jobs calls for a more efficient solution. HP Indigo GEM will significantly enhance operational efficiency and provide breakthrough simplicity for those who already produce embellishments, and open new revenue streams for those who have been hesitant about entering this market. HP Indigo GEM enables the production of embellished labels with one production line, one pass, one file, one pre-press, one process and one operator. This maximizes operational efficiency, offers an advanced user experience, and removes paint points in workflow, pre-press and production, while saving time and money. The HP Indigo GEM produces a wide variety of embellished applications, combined with personalization, variable data, and the ability to do short runs, and add value to pressure sensitive labels. HP Indigo GEM enables converters to ignite the imagination of brands by offering designs of embellished labels that will increase the value of their product, such as foiled, serialized wine collections. HP Indigo GEM allows brands to select designs, proof, and make adjustments on the spot. To meet the label market’s demands for label functionality, HP Indigo GEM matches the physical performance required by leading brands. Enjoy the best of two worlds: the label is printed with HP Indigo LEP technology’s renowned quality and colors, and the embellishments are printed using a special UV inkjet functional material, GEM Clear, that is best suited for embellishment applications due to its ability to fit variable heights, its solid performance, and its durability and robustness.
