The label and packaging market demands short lead times, smaller batch sizes, and a growing number of different variants. At the same time, brand owners expect consistent colors, variable content, and opportunities for differentiation at the point of sale.
The HP Indigo 6900 CPO is designed to meet these requirements. This roll-to-roll digital press produces self-adhesive labels, shrink sleeves, in-mold labels, wrap-around labels, flexible packaging, and folding carton applications. Fast job changes and digital printing without printing plates support production that involves a succession of many different jobs and versions.
The technology is based on HP Indigo Liquid Electrophotography, or LEP for short. It combines the flexibility of digital printing with a print finish that resembles that of conventional processes. With HP IndiChrome, the color system covers up to 97 percent of the PANTONE® color space.
Wide range of applications
The HP Indigo 6900 CPO processes paper, cardstock, self-adhesive materials, and unsupported films. This allows for the consolidation of various applications on a single production platform. The Inline Priming Unit expands the range of material options and enables the treatment of substrates directly within the production process.
For printing companies, this means greater flexibility when dealing with changing job profiles. They can produce standard labels as well as more sophisticated applications using white, silver, fluorescent, or invisible inks.
Color and Differentiation
In addition to CMYK, HP IndiChrome and various specialty inks are available. Premium White, for example, provides opaque white on transparent or colored materials. HP ElectroInk Silver and fluorescent inks expand the design possibilities for high-value-added applications.
HP SmartStream Mosaic generates a large number of different variations from defined base designs. Variable data, microtext, track-and-trace features, and invisible inks enable applications for both personalization and brand protection.
Automated and Controlled Production
Digital production becomes more cost-effective when setup procedures, color management, and quality control require as little manual labor as possible. The HP Indigo 6900 supports this with automated color calibration, an inline spectrophotometer, and the Automatic Alert Agent.
HP Production Pro handles the processing of print data. HP PrintOS enhances the machine with cloud-based applications for production control and analytics. Enhanced Productivity Mode increases throughput for compatible jobs by printing with three process colors.
Quality assured through the HP Certified Pre-Owned process
The HP Indigo 6900 CPO undergoes a technical inspection and targeted refurbishment as part of a structured refurbishment process. The goal is to bring the machine’s performance and reliability up to a defined level that meets HP Indigo standards.
The selection is based on age, print volume, and technical condition. The machine is then sent to an authorized HP service center for a systematic refurbishment. During this process, key assemblies are cleaned and inspected, and components prone to wear—such as seals, filters, and mechanical parts—are specifically replaced.
The overhaul includes, among other things, the printing mechanism, the ink supply system, and the paper feed system with its transport-related components. In addition, safety-related functions are updated, and software and hardware versions are upgraded. Following the technical refurbishment, the machine undergoes full integration and a final test run to verify print quality and production performance. The machine is released only after successful validation.
