I had a friend that run imagepress for his small volume photo magazine shop. He compared with Indigo 5000 and imagepress. The quality of the print is Indigo 5000 is the best but imagepress is acceptable but it need quite a lot of investment to start. Such as higher power, temperature / humidity...

Hi ! With your volume, don't go for indigo. It is very expensive and need a lot of skill to maintain. Sapphire treated is expensive and not environmental friendly. Certified stock is good but depends on your area. By the way, the scratch resistance is quite bad for 100% coverage. You may try...

Quality : I read an article by 3rd party lab comparing igen4 and indigo 5000 & 7000. Surprised me that for photo quality, indigo 5000 with ymck+light cyan & light magenta is quite near to igen4 print quality. Indigo 7000 ymck is totally out of the game. Question : does anyone has Experience...

This is interesting, as mentioned by the other guys, digital matte is just another "layer of transparent matte ink" that use to print the 5th layer on YMCK. The digital matte is an additional cost to the print and it is quite significant cost added. It is normally not used in this way as the...

Click charge with service contract is much better than seperate consumables. The PIP, Blanket, Bid, ink, imaging oil, gold wire..... will be more expensive if you buy seperately and print full coverage. At least now, just need to focus on how to get more business and don't need to worry on the...

Indigo is a great machine with High quality. 3050 is not a user friendly machine. You need to have a good operator to run the machine with good maintenance schedule. HP indigo Press 5500 is much more easier. 3050 is much use for high value pages business.

HP Inkjet web press is not in available in the market yet!

Re: Resolution of Digital Printing Machines The dots transfer of the indigo press 5000 is very good, even with only 1 dots size. But it really depends on the types of paper and age of the consumables. Ferigoni paper have a very good transfer on the small dots.
