All4Labels installs HP Production Pro

Installed to support the production of all applications, with a focus on short runs and variable data jobs, All4Labels is set to increase its HP Indigo press utilization via faster job processing RIP, optimize its fleet management via a single point of control, and connectivity of the site to automation tools such as Esko Automation Engine and HP PrintOS.

Michel Koch, digital pre-press Manager at All4Labels, said: ‘All4Labels is a fast-growing company that needs the ability to easily control its production. HP Production Pro for Indigo labels and packaging presses delivers exactly this capability. When searching for a new digital front end, we considered market trends, such as the increase in complex VDP jobs, SKU proliferation and short-term orders to name a few.’

All4Labels installed HP Production Pro in April this year and, according to Koch, has already seen benefits including significantly faster RIP time, better connectivity with HP modules, less server-management and a smoother workflow integration.

Announced at Labelexpo Europe 2017, HP Production Pro is claimed to deliver higher productivity, scalability and simplicity for any job, including handling large volumes of variable data printing. It enables converters to scale their business, and centrally manage fleets of HP Indigo label presses, while connecting the press to automation tools including HP PrintOS, MIS systems and the Esko Automation Engine QuickStart for Labels.
