Route 1 Print introduces final HP Indigo to expanding print arsenal

Print Solutions

South Yorkshire trade printer, Route 1 Print, has enhanced its digital capabilities with the investment in both an HP Indigo 12000 and a HP Indigo 100,000. Both of which are now fully up and running and making a start on streamlining processes around the factory to support digital print growth.

Since launching in 2012, Route 1 Print has invested in a plethora of digital, litho and inkjet finishing technology to broaden its offering of high quality, low cost and fast turnaround print. In October 2021, the company announced its investment in two new Indigos, the 12000 and 100,000. The first of the two arrived onsite at the factory in Rotherham back in November 2021 and quickly complemented Route 1 Print’s existing digital equipment, giving more capacity in flat and folded work with a short to medium run length for increased versatility and optimum output.

Designed to improve the company’s competitive short runs and digital print capabilities, both new machines are now fully functional and improving digital efficiency by over 60%. Route 1 Print plans to continue improving its factory and equipment to meet the needs of the business as it grows.

Mark Young, managing director of Bluetree Print, had this to say: ‘We are incredibly pleased to have completed the installation of both presses and we are excited to see how this duo will enhance our digital efficiency. It is improvements like this that will really help us to support our customers as the print industry changes.’
