HP Indigo press 5500J Thomson Colour Printers, one of Scotland’s leading print companies, has installed its second HP Indigo press 5500 just three years after establishing a digital printing division.
The Glasgow-based company services most industry sectors including advertising, commercial, construction, education, financial services, government to tourism and retail and has over 50 years’ experience in print and communications. The investment aims to increase its digital printing capabilities in order to manage a growing demand for its services.
“We decided to install a second HP Indigo press 5500 because demand for our digital print services is still growing," says Kevin Creechan, managing director, J. Thomson Colour Printers. “The new HP Indigo press has increased our production capacity significantly and we can now turnaround the growing amount of orders within the short timeframe our customers have come to expect.”
Creechan attributes this rise in business in part to the extremely good quality, yet cost-effective print that his company’s existing and latest HP Indigo press enables it to provide to its customers.
“These consistent and high-quality results have really helped us to migrate existing jobs from litho to digital, win repeat business and maximise new business opportunities,” he adds.
The family-owned company offers an extensive range of tailored, high-quality products such as annual reports, brochures, prospectuses, magazines and direct mail to a variety of blue-chip customers across a wide-variety of market sectors.
Creechan adds that despite the current downturn the digital market is growing worldwide. The company believes that with this latest HP Indigo press it can now target new market sectors and expand its digital print services further to take full advantage of short run and variable data printing that are made possible with digital print technology.
The company also plans to introduce the HP Indigo white ink option kit which enables print service providers (PSPs) to create a number of unique applications by printing on specialised substrates such as transparent, metallic or coloured media, enabling greater creativity for customers, especially where marketing and sales collateral is concerned.
“During the last few years that we have been working together, HP has provided fantastic technical support and the training,” said Creechan. “We consider them to be the current number one in the digital market, and with HP’s backing, our business can only get stronger.”
