Michelman adds DigiPrime 680 for flexible packaging printing on HP Indigo WS6X00 series presses

Michelman has introduced DigiPrime 680, a water-based primer that is said to be ‘particularly effective’ for flexible packaging printing applications.

DigiPrime 680 is formulated for use with the HP Indigo WS6X00 series of digital presses

680 is Michelman’s latest addition to its line of HP-recommended DigiPrime digital press primers. It is formulated for use with the HP Indigo WS6X00 series of digital presses, and improves ink receptivity on most types of film, exhibits good lamination bond strength and improves printing performance on shrink sleeves, Michelman said.

DigiPrime 680 is a proprietary Michelman product, manufactured in Singapore, Belgium and the USA, and is available worldwide.

Customers with existing WS6X00 presses will require an upgrade kit from HP Indigo to run DigiPrime 680. HP Indigo will also shortly implement a solution that will allow newly purchased WS6800 presses with in-line priming units to run DigiPrime 680 with no modifications.
