24 08 2013 Company to capitalize on new opportunities in photo printing with HP Indigo 7600 digital offset press
Kerala, August 23, 2013: Hewlett-Packard today announced that Kerala based Indot Color World have installed their third HP Indigo digital offset press. The latest addition to their fleet is the new HP Indigo 7600, the fastest 13 x 19 inch format digital sheet-fed press.
Indot purchased its first HP Indigo Digital Press in 2011. Since then, HP technology has paved the way for the business’ success in the fast-growing photo printing market. Today, thanks to their most recent acquisition, the HP Indigo 7600 Digital Press, they are further expanding their portfolio to high-end photo speciality products like wedding albums.
Celebrating the launch, Sushil Kumar CP, managing partner, Indot Color World commented: “Our perception towards the photo business changed when we installed the first HP Indigo digital offset press. We felt a need to stay on top of new and emerging opportunities and to constantly innovate to meet customer demands. With this goal in mind we have started Indot Color World in Chalakudy. Installing the new HP Indigo 7600 has widened the scope of our business and will help us meet our customers’ high-end printing needs especially in the photo-book market.”
He further added, “We are very pleased to be associated with HP as a technology partner. Over the years we have found them to be consistently supportive, innovative and involved in ensuring our presses deliver the highest level of quality.”
An area which has seen a huge shift is the photo segment is traditional silver halide prints which are rapidly being replaced due to the excellent quality offered by the Indigo machines. The HP Indigo 7600 digital offset press is equipped with new special effect capabilities—like raised print and textured effects, which expands the opportunity for Indot to deliver high-value applications and other innovative products to their existing photo customers who are looking for something new and different to show case their images.
Speaking at the launch, A. Appadurai, Country Manager, HP Indigo & IHPS India & Sri Lanka, HP said, “Our association with Indot Color World goes back a long way and we are proud to be associated with them. HP has always led innovation in the digital printing industry and has turned out to be the leading provider of photo printing solutions to the photo labs in the country. We are excited about Indot Color World’s third installation of our Indigo digital offset press, which is considered a digital printing powerhouse. They will now have the facility to provide high quality reproduction of photographic images and other content on a wide range of coated and uncoated media. As the Indian photo market continues to evolve, professional photo labs are searching for solutions that produce high-quality photo prints with cost and environmental advantages and our HP Indigo digital presses stand out in this regard.”
