HP Announces Launch Of PageWide T700i Press
Palo Alto, California based HP announced the global launch event of the PageWide T700i Press held at Koenig & Bauer in Wurzburg, Germany. The collaboration between HP and Koenig & Bauer has been instrumental in the development of the T700i Press, and the event provided a fitting platform to celebrate a de- cade of collaboration between these two industry giants. HP said the successful launch of the T700i Press is a direct result of this partnership, showcasing the combined exper- tise and innovation that have resulted in this leading-edge technology. At the heart of the event was the HP PageWide T700i Press itself, a testament to HP’s commitment to deliver-
ing innovative solutions for the packaging industry. The T700i Press – a 67-inch (1.7 m), digital web-fed platform – is designed for high-volume, high-speed production of high-graphics packaging with 6-color print quality. The for- mat of the T700i press is designed for replacing litho print
in litho-lam applications, and the press re- mains configurable to meet specific cus- tomer and market needs with its variety of in-line options for winding, priming, var- nishing and delivery. Select configurations can print up to 1,000 feet per minute (300 m/min), supported by HP’s latest genera- tion single-pass Thermal Inkjet technology with water-based inks. Attendees were treated to live demon- strations of the T700i Press, showcasing its capabilities across a range of applica- tions. From producing premium-quality digital prints that rival litho-lamination to efficiently handling batched jobs on both coated and uncoated papers, the press impressed with its speed, accuracy, and versatility. The ability to run the press at 1000-feet per minute on uncoated stock was a particular highlight, demonstrating the T700i Press’s potential to deliver high productivity and boost efficiency. In addition to technical demonstrations, the event highlighted the broader impli- cations of digital printing for the packag- ing industry. Industry experts and thought leaders shared insights on what is driving brands to switch to digital, as well as the economic benefits, operational efficien- cies, and strategic advantages of adopting digital technology. The emphasis on HP’s comprehen- sive One Package workflow solutions and partner ecosystem underscored the com- pany’s commitment to providing end-to- end support for converters. With many HP SmartStream partners present and show- casing their solutions, attendees gained valuable insights into how the T700i Press integrates with existing workflows.
