Precision Printing uses the HP Indigo 10000 Digital Press to streamline bulk printing and support new applications.

The HP Indigo 10000 Digital Press, now commercially available, maintains all the capabilities distinct to the HP Indigo portfolio in a wider format that expands the digital printing capabilities, while crossing over into traditionally offset markets.

Precision Printing was one of 10 print service providers who beta tested the HP Indigo 10000 Digital Press after its introduction at drupa 2012. The company is currently using the press to create personalized, localized and on-demand photo books, in addition to packaging and marketing pieces that it could not produce on its B2-format offset presses. The company also optimized the positioning of smaller formats on B2-sized sheets to multiply the amount of prints the press can produce in one run.

"As print organizations, we need to be much better at not only aggregating, but also producing, thousands of small orders on a daily basis as items become localized and printed on demand," said Gary Peeling, managing director, Precision Printing. "The HP Indigo 10000 Digital Press allows us to streamline bulk printing and brings great efficiencies to our production. It also allows us to provide small quantities of personalized products in formats that we weren't able to support on narrower digital presses such as landscape books, six-page roll-outs and pocket folders."
