The roll-fed narrow web WS6800 press offers increased output with faster speeds of up to 130 feet per minute in enhanced productivity mode (EPM). A wider image format is achieved with a print width of 12.59in on the WS6800. Dion Label Printing's new machines can print materials as thin as 0.5 pt to as thick as 18 pt carton stock including pressure sensitive labels and flexible packaging. An early detection quality control system alerts the operator to print defects during the production run to achieve optimal output. In-line priming units will be used with the new HP WS6800 presses to continue to allow production flexibility.

The HP Indigo WS6800 press model offers the built in Workflow Suite powered by Esko. To aid in color matching, the press also has an in-line spectrophotometer and a new screening technology.

Randy Duhaime, general manager commented, 'The upgrade to the WS6800 presses enhances our digital offering and allows us to continue to offer our customers the highest level of service and exceptional print quality. The investment in the new WS6800 presses shows our commitment to investing in technology that helps to better serve the needs of our customers.'
