Hewlett Packard demonstrated its portfolio for the printing and finishing of photo-specialty products, based on its HP Indigo digital presses, new HP SmartStream workflow portfolio and digital front-end and finishing solutions at Photokina 2008. The company has continued to develop its photo-specialty solutions to meet customers’ business demands.

In the photo-specialty market, HP Indigo digital presses have a leading market share. Multiple press orders from leading photofinishers reflect industry confidence in HP Indigo presses and the company’s ability to meet their requirements. The HP Indigo press 5500 produces photobooks, calendars, greeting cards, postcards and other photo-specialty products. It is now enhanced with options to facilitate greater productivity – including inline connectivity to the HP Indigo UV Coater, streamlined HP SmartStream workflow management and an additional feeding unit and thick substrate support.

The HP Indigo press 5500 is suited to meet the needs of digital printers who need to produce on-demand, short-run applications. Software solutions from HP partners include Pixami, Digilabs, and Ultimate Technographics, with finishing solutions from CP Bourg Renz and Schmedt. With these solutions, the HP Indigo press 5500 demonstrated the ease and quality of end-to-end production of perfect bound and hard cover photobooks.
