In January 2019 we commissioned a new HP Series 3 Indigo 7r press replacing our previous HP Series 2 Indigo 5500 press that was over 10 years old.

The machine prints four colours and the the same sheet size as the 5500 but has more up-to-date technology, it is faster and a more production-based machine. It’s also got EPM [Enhanced Productivity Mode], which you can use on certain jobs and makes it even faster.

This press will run four-colour both sides at 1,700 sheets per hour, which is 70% quicker than the 5500.
