HP Indigo marks 3000 installs, debuts new press at Labelexpo Europe 2025

Global debut of the HP Indigo 6K+ Digital Press

HP Indigo, represented in Australia and New Zealand by Currie Group, used Labelexpo Europe 2025 in Barcelona to underline its leadership in the global labels and packaging market, unveiling new digital press technology and celebrating a major installation milestone.

The company marked the debut of the HP Indigo 6K+ Digital Press, introduced upgrades across its established portfolio, and confirmed the landmark of 3000 HP Indigo label and packaging presses now installed worldwide.

Dublin-based Watershed, a leading converter, became the proud site of press number 3000.For Watershed, investing in the 6K+ has already strengthened turnaround times and service levels. Director Kirwan Waters said the new press gives the company “the flexibility to shift shorter runs to digital, freeing up capacity across the business” – a critical capability in today’s fast-moving market.

The fulcrum of HP’s showcase was its push for what it calls “nonstop digital printing,” driven by AI, intelligent automation, and connected workflows. The 6K+ comes equipped with a new SmartControlSystem designed to maximise uptime and diagnostic accuracy, while broadening versatility across media and inks.

Alongside the 6K+, HP spotlighted the HP Indigo V12 Digital Press, which the company says has been proving its strength in high-volume production with record customer runs of more than 1 million linear metres per month. Powered by LEPx technology, the V12 delivers at 120 metres per minute and is pitched as a digital complement to traditional flexo, cutting waste and setup time.
