Expanded capabilities & colours…and explosive growth for PSPs
As promised, the Indigo 7K expands capabilities for new printing avenues, with millions of colour combinations and endless spot colours, served by 7 ink stations.
It can print on virtually endless substate types, in black and coloured inks, including synthetics, at up to 550 microns, with over 20 speciality inks like Silver, Invisible Yellow, Premium White, and Scratch Off – more of which below.

In living colour – speciality inks
The Indigo 7K’s colour capabilities also include an extended colour gamut of up to 97%, with Special Effect Electroinks (Silver, Fluorescent Pink Transparent & Digital Matte), Advanced Functional Electroinks (Invisible Yellow, Premium White, Primer and Scratch Off), and Photo-Enhancing Electroinks (LLK, Light Cyan, Light Magenta and Vivid Pink & Green).
HP Indigo 7K customers using special and spot inks experienced over 125% growth than the mean market.
Endless applications across multiple markets
The HP Indigo 7K excels in many print environments, including general commercial printing, folding cartons, publishing, photo printing, security printing, scratch off and heat transfer, speciality printing and more.
New business opportunities: Testimonial
“The primary reason for purchasing the 7k press, because of the ability to print the scratch-off panel directly on a printed sheet using the ‘Easy release’ ink. This allowed us to reduce the manufacturing steps involved and the ability to provide our customers with any size, shape, or colour scratch-off. Going forward, our new capabilities will allow us tocontinue providing the market with unique scratch-off products while expanding more into markets such as the gaming and retail sectors,” says Dan Ogorek, President of Scratch Off Systems.
Technical wizardry: PrintOS Production Pro & fastest RIP
Hugely impressive colour range and inks are not enough on their own, of course. The Indigo 7K also features advanced technical wizardry to complement the palette. For instance, PrintOS Production Pro for commercial v8.0 is the first cloud integrated digital front end (DFE) and includes EPM Preflight, with automated decision point.
User experience is improved with preview and night mode, and out of the box integration means dozens of workflow partners and finishing devices are available. The industry’s fastest RIP is now even faster (+10%) and pixel level preview is also improved.
Print speeds range from 120 prints per minute (four colour A4), 160 prints per minute (A4 using EPM), and 240 prints per minute (2 colour/mono A4).
