Impression Paragraph added a 29-inch format HP Indigo 12000 Digital Press.
Installed at Paragraph’s headquarters in Montreal, the press is loaded with the new HP Indigo 15K value pack including thick substrate support up to 24 pt and premium white ink, making it the first of its kind in eastern Canada, HP said.
“We will utilize thick substrates to deliver the high-quality, short-run folding carton and other creative applications that have fostered our reputation as a partner rather than a supplier to our customers,” said Martin Lépine, Paragraph president. “We are eager to embrace the 20 x 29-inch sheet size, white ink and thick substrate capability for our customers, who expect high quality and innovation.”
The new HP Indigo 12000 press features a 5th ink station for white ink and brand spot colors.
Paragraph has also installed a coater from Kompac to create a production line for short-run folding cartons in Quebec to serve the cosmetics and pharma industries. The press will work in tandem with Paragraph’s new folding carton subsidiary Dumaine.
Paragraph purchased an HP Indigo 5500 in 2013 and currently runs an HP Indigo 12000 and an HP Indigo 7900.
The acquisition of the HP Indigo 12000 capable of printing on recycled media and ensuring low VOC emissions also supports Paragraph’s sustainability goals, according to the company.
“Paragraph is firmly committed to reducing its ecological footprint by being responsible in the management of its daily operations to minimize any negative impact,” Lépine said.
