“Today, we are going to turn sheet-fed HP Indigo presses into the equivalent of powerful HP Indigo label web presses for the short and long run markets. We have ten years experience in this with dry toner lasers, desktop inkjet printers and digital presses including the HP Indigo, iGen, NexPress and Xeikon presses, and we will bring the owners of the presses to the next level of productivity and quality,” said Steve Hall, president, Rippedsheets.com. “Our newly enhanced HP Indigo pre cut label offering will vastly expand the label capabilities of HP Indigo and iGen sheet fed label press owners. It will take some time for us to educate the paper merchants who we want to sell our products on exactly how much money HP Indigo sheet fed press owners will leave on the table if they don’t get into this. This is a very big market to be able to sell print buyers what labels they need, on the stock they need, in the time they need it and with no post print converting. Just print and ship!”
