Grunewald GmbH has installed an HP Indigo 7K. The German company focuses on prepress, digital printing, finishing, and mailing production. It started digital printing back in 1995 and was one of the first Indigo customers. Over the years, the range of services has been continuously expanding – from the addition of a wide variety of finishing and refinement options to web-to-print and cross-media solutions.
“We have always been impressed by the possibilities of the HP Indigo digital presses for its customisation abilities as well as the large variety of materials they can process. In recent years, much has also been done regarding system availability and reliability. The current machine generation is not the same as that of the 1995 generation. Plastic has turned into heavy metal,” said Michael Grunewald, Managing Director of Grunewald GmbH.
The possibility to expand the product offering even further was a decisive factor for the investment in the HP Indigo 7K. Thanks to the new special inks such as Metallic Ink, Invisible Ink or scratch-off inks, new applications can be realised and the possibilities for differentiation have increased. Furthermore, substrates with a thickness of up to 550 micrometers can be processed and the Automatic Alert Agent (AAA) and the HP Optimizer improves productivity.
“We were also impressed by the features of the HP Indigo 7K that are not obvious at first sight, such as the Automatic Alert Agent. Thanks to its built-in camera system, the press automatically sorts out faulty sheets and initiates reprinting at the same time. In addition, the HP Optimizer allows us to prioritise individual jobs in the queue,” says Grunewald.
Grunewald GmbH, which has already received several awards for outstanding achievements in digital printing, is pleased to be able to offer its customers even more innovative print products in the future.
