On demand digital offset short run printing is the latest technology in the color printing industry - offering the quality of traditional offset printing, but capitalizing on the efficiency of a totally digital workflow. With HP Indigo printing and Heidelberg printing, you save time and money because your files go directly to press, bypassing the traditional steps of film separations, film stripping, etc. The workflow is so fast and efficient that even the shortest runs are now a reality.

HP Indigo & Heidelberg Presses - Two powerful solutions
HP Indigo 5000 press

The HP Indigo Press is the perfect digital printing solution for truly short runs.

Blending the speed and efficiency of electroxerography with high-quality CMYK offset printing, the HP Indigo offers remarkable printing value for output quantities from 1 to 1,000 press sheets.

 

Heidelberg press
If you need the economy and efficiency of digital printing, but sheet runs up to 5,000 or more, our Heidelberg Quickmaster DI is for you! This remarkable press combines the heritage of the world's most prestigious press manufacturer with state-of-the-art digital offset technology.

The Quickmaster is a true offset press using the same waterless inks as large-format presses, ensuring your jobs will be printed with the same quality you are accustomed to from conventional offset printing - but at digital printing cost!

Paper Stocks
Imagers proudly offers FSC certified, SFI certified, and recycled papers for our HP Indigo digital offset presses and Heidelberg Quickmaster DI.

Proof Options
HP Indigo press proofs are an on-press proof (initial proof cost included in job cost). This means the proof is an actual HP Indigo press sheet, not a proof from a different device.

HP Indigo proofs are also provided for Quickmaster jobs. These proofs serve as a good reference for content. They are not an exact color match to the Quickmaster.

Imagers' Digital Printing Center provides basic finishing services at competitive rates, including:
   • trimming
   • scoring -
scoring is required on any HP Indigo job if ink is printed in the area to be folded-
   • folding
   • booklet making
   • plasticoil
   • drilling

A folding dummy must be supplied as a "go-by" if applicable.
