HP demonstrated its metre-wide full-colour HP inkjet web press operating at 244mpm, featuring new inks, print heads and glossy coated paper that support faster print speeds without compromising image quality, according to HP. The higher-speed colour capability will be available in select systems or as an optional upgrade next year.

HP also announced strong market acceptance of its new portfolio including five beta customers for the HP Indigo 10000 Digital Press, the first B2-format sheet-fed HP press on the market and one of six new HP Indigo presses introduced in March. HP also has signed agreements with more than 70 print service providers for the new HP Indigo 5600 and 7600 Digital Presses.

In addition, HP said it has already received orders for its first complete high-speed mono and colour imprinting solutions and its new series of higher-speed inkjet web presses. The company now has installed more than 70 HP Inkjet Web Presses worldwide, which have produced a cumulative total of more than 11 billion pages.
