DIGITAL COLOR PRESSES -- Digital Devices' Dance Card

Acquisitions, as opposed to partnerships, have been the story at Hewlett-Packard Co., even if the Indigo deal did get overshadowed. It touts the HP Indigo Press 5000 as the “first of a new series of commercial presses co-developed by HP and the former Indigo organization.” Outputting 4,000 pages per hour with seven-color capability, the press boasts innovations in paper handling, inking systems and production software tools. It is driven by the new HP Press Production Manager front end.
