The roadshow will be featuring the HP Indigo 3500 6-colour digital press, HPZ2100 and HPZ6100 wide-format printers, together with other finishing technologies, such as a free-standing UV coater and an automatic slitter/creaser.
The products will be shown at a range of venues from the back of a truck, easily accessible to all interested parties.
The Currie Group truck has been re-fitted and re-branded to promote its expanded HP portfolio – this is the first time the HP Designjet large format printers have been included in a digital print roadshow.
The tour will visit Brisbane, Canberra and Sydney as well as major regional centres including Cairns, Rockhampton, Newcastle, Coffs Harbour and Albury/Wodonga providing Print Service Providers (PSP) with the opportunity to view the latest digital print technology at their doorstep.
Phillip Rennell of the Currie Group, said “This tour is the ideal way for PSPs to gain first hand experience of the expanded digital print offers from HP. Visitors will be invited to come on board the truck and view operational presses as well as discuss technical aspects with our digital print experts.
“Visitors will also be able to see the new HP Designjet Z6100 printer – the largest printer in the HP Designjet range. It will be the first opportunity for many PSPs, especially those in regional centres, to see this new large format printer in action.”
All equipment will be operational. The HP Indigo 3500 will demonstrate its offset quality production of photobooks, brochures, business cards and postcards. The HP Designjet Z series printers (Z6100, Z2100) will output a range of high-quality photo realistic posters and images. The truck will also feature a range of finishing equipment including a UV coater, book binding machines and guillotines.
