Innovative Labeling Solutions is the first U.S. site for the breakthrough HP Indigo GEM unit enabling a one-pass digital solution for label and embellishment printing on HP Indigo narrow-web technology. ILS and HP made the announcement at Labelexpo Americas 2018.
At ILS, the HP Indigo GEM will operate inline with the HP Indigo 6900 Digital Press, creating the first fully digital, one-pass combination press for embellishing with combinations of foil, screen, tactile, varnish, cast and cure, and other special effects, using a single point of control and one print-ready file.
“The HP Indigo GEM is a dramatic revolution in digital printing industry. With the acquisition of this cutting edge technology, we are once again positioned to disrupt, bringing a fully digital printing solution including embellishments to the marketplace,” says Jay Dollries, ILS president and CEO.
The installation of the GEM purchased by ILS at Labelexpo Americas is another first for ILS, making it once again a pioneer in operating HP Indigo’s entire line of digital equipment for labels and flexible packaging production. It also operates the narrow-web HP Indigo 8000, two 30-inch-wide HP Indigo 20000 presses for flexible packaging and high-capacity labels, in addition to the HP Indigo 6000 series platform.
