Alon Bar-Shany, vice president and general manager at HP Indigo, said, “Brands want quality and good price, they want faster on-time delivery, they want to be able to react much faster through various elements of customization, and there’s a certain growing aspect of brand protection and security. With the HP Indigo presses, we are trying not to just provide printing technology, but work on an interim solution, which will enable everything from design, color management, printing to finishing, and of course meeting the very high quality standards of offset.”

“The HP technology will simplify the complexity of design handling, allow our customers to dip in and out of their short-run requirements, smart packaging support like greater track-and-trace and the ability to interact with their end-users,” said Siddharth Kejriwal, director of Parksons Packaging.

The HP Indigo 30000 is a 7-color press with CMYK OVG, interchangeable with white ink. This extended color gamut enables printing of PANTONE colors to fulfill strict brand color requirements. It is capable of printing on paperboards, metPET and synthetic material of 250-600 microns thickness. The press comes equipped with two interchangeable coating units for aqueous and UV varnishes. It can produce high-quality, B2-format (20×30-inch) applications and has HP’s one-shot technology integrated, which enables perfect color-to-color registration. It also has an in-built spectrophotometer for easy color management.

“HP Indigo 30000 brings path-breaking innovation into the packaging printing segment with its unique digital capabilities that can help create customized and personalized products. We are excited to work with Parksons Packaging and help them drive greater value and quality for their customers,” said A Appadurai, country manager, Indigo and PageWide Web Press, Graphics Solutions Business, HP Inc.

In 2024, we are looking at full recovery and growth-led investment in Indian printing

Indian Printer and Publisher founded in 1979 is the oldest B2B trade publication in the multi-platform and multi-channel IPPGroup. It created the category of privately owned B2B print magazines in the country. And by its diversification in packaging, (Packaging South Asia), food processing and packaging (IndiFoodBev) and health and medical supply chain and packaging (HealthTekPak), and its community activities in training, research, and conferences (Ipp Services, Training and Research) the organization continues to create platforms that demonstrate the need for quality information, data, technology insights and events.

India is a large and tough terrain and while its book publishing and commercial printing industry have recovered and are increasingly embracing digital print, the Indian newspaper industry continues to recover its credibility and circulation. The signage industry is also recovering and new technologies and audiences such as digital 3D additive printing, digital textiles, and industrial printing are coming onto our pages. Diversification is a fact of life for our readers and like them, we will also have to adapt with agility to keep up with their business and technical information needs.

India is one of the fastest growing economies in nominal and real terms – in a region poised for the highest change in year to year expenditure in printing equipment and consumables. Our 2024 media kit is ready, and it is the right time to take stock – to emphasize your visibility and relevance to your customers and turn potential markets into conversations.
