RIT installs HP Indigo WS6000 for media certification

Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) has installed an HP Indigo WS6000 digital press in its Printing Applications Laboratory – the research facility that HP uses to certify compatibility of media for use with Indigo products.

Members of the lab staff at the Rochester, New York-based institute now certify media for the HP Indigo WS6000, a step that helps substrate manufacturers successfully bring new products to market. Like all HP Indigo products installed at RIT, the press also provides hands-on learning opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students in the institute’s School of Print Media.

‘RIT’s certification activities play an important role in the progressive development of the digital printing market,’ said Jan Riecher, vice president and general manager, Graphics Solutions Business, Americas, HP. ‘HP Indigo is already one of the best-selling label press technologies in the world, and RIT’s WS6000 certification activities will help magnify the ways digital printing addresses mainstream label and packaging production.’

‘The WS6000 further enhances our world-class digital printing platform and expands the services RIT can provide to the labels and packaging segment of the market, where we are finding increasing opportunities for innovation,’ said Bill Garno, director of RIT’s Printing Applications Laboratory. ‘It will also expand what we can offer to media suppliers for comprehensive certification processes.’
