DECREASED SET-UP COSTS

The biggest difference between digital printing and traditional offset printing is the much smaller setup costs to get your print project started. No more making plates, inking cylinders, and sheet after sheet of make-ready. With digital printing, your images and designs are printed quickly with less waste and without the need for multiple sets of large metal printing plates.

OFFSET RIVALING QUALITY

Quality focused? Don’t worry – many of our customers who’ve been underwhelmed by digital print quality from other printers are blown away by our HP Indigo quality. Even under a printers magnifying loupe, most can’t spot the difference between Indigo digital and traditional offset printing.

HP Indigo White Ink Printing

White & Raised Ink

On its own, the color reproduction of our HP Indigo presses is remarkable. To make your printed piece truly breathtaking, consider digitally printing with white or raised inks. Our presses have been upgraded to print with both and including them in your design couldn’t be easier.

White ink printing enhances our ability to print on colored stocks like krafts and rich blacks. It’s also a valuable element for blocking light in window clings and clear substrates.

Variable Data Printing

Variable Data Printing

Personalizing your messaging is a powerful tool to build customer engagement and lower costs. In fact 89% of marketers report that personalization increases revenue. When printing digitally, each postcard, poster, or brochure you print can have different images, or messaging.

With a tiny bit of planning, direct mail is addressed and sorted on press or multiple similar projects can be grouped together for greater efficiency.

Pro-Tips:
Designing for
Short-Run
Digital Printing

Designing your print piece for digital printing presents only a few differences compared to other printing methods. Planning ahead can help avoid some pitfalls as well as open up a world of design possibilities.

Whether you are designing a pocket folder or a direct mail campaign, following these digital printing tips will help you get the most benefits from printing with an HP Indigo.

CONSIDER YOUR SUBSTRATE

A wide variety of substrates enables a wide variety of design choices but remember, there are size limitations to consider. Our digital presses use either a 13” x 19” sheet size (Indigo 7900's) or a 29.5″ x 20.9″ sheet (Indigo 12000). If your print job is larger than this, offset printing may be the only solution.

HP Indigo Printing Papers

Hp Indigo inks adhere wonderfully to unusual stocks and print vibrantly on uncoated papers as well. Give carbon neutral, tree-free, and recycled substrates consideration.

FOUR COLOR + White or Raised

Our HP Indigos print with four colors - Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black. If your digital print job contains a spot (pantone / PMS) color, consider converting it to four color (CMYK). Our digital presses are excellent at converting these on the fly, but you’re the best person to make sure it’s perfect.

Short run raised Ink

Accentuating your print piece with White or Raised inks is simple and eye-catching. In your design software make an additional Spot color and name it White or Raised and utilize your overprint settings.

THE POWER OF PERSONALIZATION

Design with your data first. HP Indigos can print different text and images for every single impression. This is called variable data printing. Take advantage of this feature by customizing your print pieces to each recipient and start making a big brand impact and increase ad recall.

Variable Data

Variable data printing sounds scary, but the trick is planning ahead. With a spreadsheet, identify which recipient gets which image or text. Provide us with your design, variable images, and necessary fonts. We'll assemble for you and get you ready for printing.
