HP has introduced the HP Indigo 6K+ Digital Press, a next-generation solution built to meet
the ever-expanding demands of the digital label and packaging industry. With enhanced
productivity, robust performance, and remarkable versatility, the 6K+ is designed to address
the growing need for faster turnaround, more SKUs, and a wider range of applications in
today’s competitive marketplace.
The HP Indigo 6K+ builds upon the trusted legacy of the HP Indigo 6K—of which over 2,300
presses have been installed worldwide—bringing significant technological upgrades to meet
the evolving needs of converters. At its core, the 6K+ is engineered for maximum
productivity and operational stability, while ensuring the high print quality Indigo presses are
known for.
One of the standout advancements in the HP Indigo 6K+ is the SmartControlSystem, a nextgen
control hub designed to boost diagnostics, uptime, and press reliability. With this
integrated system, converters can streamline operations, produce more jobs per shift, and
minimize waste and unplanned downtime, directly contributing to increased profitability.
The press is equipped with an advanced suite of automation tools and AI-powered features,
such as the HP PrintOS Suite, Automatic Alert Agent 2.0 (AAA 2.0), HP Spot Master, and
HP Nio. These tools work in harmony to automate routine tasks, reduce manual intervention,
and deliver consistent quality across all jobs.
Noam Zilbershtain, VP and General Manager, HP Indigo stated, “As we advance HP Indigo’s
vision of Nonstop Digital Printing, we are proud to introduce the new HP Indigo 6K+ Digital
Press, featuring the ground-breaking SmartControlSystem for enhanced robustness and
nonstop production. This press is designed to help converters confidently say ‘yes’ to any
label job today and in the future.”
“With intelligent automation, embedded AI, advanced diagnostics, and a proven digital
platform at its core, the HP Indigo 6K+ opens up infinite opportunities for growth,” he adds.
From pressure-sensitive labels to shrink sleeves, in-mold labels (IML), wrap-around labels,
laminated tubes, flexible packaging, and even folding cartons, the HP Indigo 6K+ opens the
door to new opportunities in virtually every label segment. Its media versatility empowers
converters to diversify their offerings and adapt to shifting market demands.
With seven ink stations and support for spot colors, the 6K+ covers up to 97% of the color
gamut, delivering photorealistic results. It also offers the industry’s broadest range of
specialty inks, including Silver ElectroInk, Invisible and Fade-Resistant Inks and a robust
White Ink portfolio. These inks enable vivid, high-impact prints and specialty applications that
help brands stand out on the shelf.
