Silverpoint Press Installs HP Indigo 3550
New HP Indigo user Silverpoint Press needed a printing solution for short-run work that supported its enduring commitment to sustainability while meeting its clients' demands for true offset quality. HP IPG today announced that Silverpoint Press has selected the HP Indigo 3550 Digital Press to deliver wide range of products.
- (1888PressRelease) August 02, 2011 - Inaugurated by Alon Bar - Shany, Vice President & General Manager, HP Indigo Digital Press Division, the HP Indigo 3550 has been installed at the Mahape unit, complementing their existing setup.
The Mumbai-based print service provider, established more than three decades ago, has been associated with some of India's most respected companies, MNCs and advertising agencies as well as creative artists and photographers.
"By installing HP's flagship sheet fed press, Silverpoint Press gains the combination of productivity enhancements, offset-quality imaging and very low waste that can take Silverpoint Press' business to the next level," says Shabbir Muchhala, Managing Director- Silverpoint Press.
Commenting on this recent installation, Alon Bar - Shany, Vice President & General Manager, HP Indigo Digital Press Division said, "The HP Indigo delivers exceptional offset quality with the availability of up to 5-colour printing, enabling the use of pantone spot colours to meet any strict branding requirements customers may have.

Short-run printing with a long-term, sustainable perspective
The Company is seeing momentum behind its short-run work. Unlike its offset presses, however, the HP Indigo 3550 allows the company to produce shorter-run quantities without disproportionate amounts of waste.
"We are excited to offer our customers true lithographic quality printing on virtually any substrate, and the lower environmental impact the press offers is just as important as the quality," says Saifee Makasarwala, COO Silverpoint Press. "We never make a business decision without putting a ton of consideration into its environmental impact. We like how the HP Indigo 3550 removes nearly all the make-ready waste in production for more-efficient short-run printing."
Meeting Demanding client's high quality needs
Silverpoint Press's clients have very high expectations in terms of color quality and precision.
After researching digital printing solutions available on the market, Silverpoint Press found that HP Indigo's unique ability to print up to five colors - using liquid HP ElectroInks instead of dry toner - made it the only digital press technology that could successfully and consistently meet these client's need.
"We consider our customer base to be the most creative in the industry," says Saifee, "so the HP Indigo 3550's ability to run CMYK inks plus Pantone-licensed spot colors is exciting for us and it really unlocks the artistic potential of our customer base."
The press also gives Silverpoint Press the ability to print with extended ink sets for more vivid or photographic quality images.
High Quality, High Value and greater sustainability
The HP Indigo 3550 is HP's flagship sheet fed press, offering true offset- and photo-quality imaging up at speeds up to 68 four-color, letter-size pages per minute. It is ideally suited to handle short- to medium-run length jobs as well as high-value applications, such as variable-data-driven marketing collateral, photo books and personalized direct mail.
In addition, the press prints on a wide variety of HP Indigo-certified, environmentally credentialed third-party media. With more than 850 certified substrates that have at least one environmental credential, customers can choose from a wide range of media with an attractive environmental profile, including substrates that are Forest Stewardship Council-, Sustainable Forestry Initiative- and Elemental Chlorine Free-certified, as well as carbon neutral and recycled media.
