On demand digital offset short run printing is
the latest technology in the color printing industry - offering the quality
of traditional offset printing, but capitalizing on the efficiency of
a totally digital workflow. With HP Indigo printing and Heidelberg printing,
you save time and money because your files go directly to press, bypassing
the traditional steps of film separations, film stripping, etc. The workflow
is so fast and efficient that even the shortest runs are now a reality.
HP Indigo & Heidelberg
Presses - Two powerful solutions
|
|
The HP Indigo Press is the perfect digital
printing solution for truly short runs.
Blending the speed and efficiency of electroxerography
with high-quality CMYK offset printing, the HP Indigo offers remarkable
printing value for output quantities from 1 to 1,000 press sheets.

|
If you need the
economy and efficiency of digital printing, but sheet runs up to 5,000
or more, our Heidelberg Quickmaster DI is for you! This remarkable
press combines the heritage of the world's most prestigious press
manufacturer with state-of-the-art digital offset technology.
The Quickmaster is a true offset press using the same waterless inks
as large-format presses, ensuring your jobs will be printed with the
same quality you are accustomed to from conventional offset printing
- but at digital printing cost! |

Proof Options
HP Indigo press proofs are an on-press proof (initial
proof cost included in job cost). This means the proof is an actual
HP Indigo press sheet, not a proof from a different device.
HP Indigo proofs are also provided for Quickmaster jobs.
These proofs serve as a good reference for content. They are not an exact
color match to the Quickmaster.
Bindery/Finishing
Imagers' Digital Printing Center provides basic finishing
services at competitive rates, including:
• trimming
• scoring - scoring is required
on any HP Indigo job if ink is printed in the area to be folded-
• folding
• booklet making
• plasticoil
• drilling
A folding dummy must be supplied as a "go-by" if applicable.
