"Business transformation and taking on more high-quality short-run and print-on-demand work are a top priority for Hucais. The HP T260 mono inkjet web press helps Hucais meet these goals and demonstrates customer-led innovation in Asia that we are now making available for customers elsewhere in the world," said Gido van Praag, Vice-President & General Manager, Graphics Solutions Business, HP Asia-Pacific and Japan.
Similar to existing HP Inkjet Web Presses, the HP T260 offers best-in-class print quality with 1,200 nozzles per inch (npi) and 8 times nozzle redundancy. It also features HP Bonding Agent and automation for operator ease-of-use. The HP T260 was initially designed to enable China-based Hucais Printing Company Limited to better meet the demands of the local publishing market and power the company’s new publishing business model across its digital printing sites in China. Hucais has installed the press at each of its three printing facilities and expects to place a further double-digit order to install the HP T260 Mono Inkjet Web Presses across all its five sites in China.
The HP T260 Mono Inkjet Web Press and Priming Solution are expected to be available before the end of 2014.
