This week, HP Inc. will be attending Labelexpo Americas 2024, the largest event for the label and packaging industry in the Americas. HP will display its market-leading advancements and demonstrate how HP Indigo allows label converters to experience profitable growth by enabling them to allocate each job to the right press, regardless of its run length.
HP Indigo’s wide portfolio, including the HP Indigo V12, HP Indigo 200K, and the HP Indigo 6K, are based on HP Indigo’s LEP and LEPX technologies, allowing converters to bring the value of digital print to any label. Additionally, thanks to HP’s Intelligent Automation and end-to-end production offering - including PrintOS, advanced color management, and access to a global network of leading solution providers – converters enhance efficiencies by creating high-speed automated production lines with minimal human intervention and solving challenges such as labor shortages, waste reduction, mass customization, and on-demand production.
