HP Indigo 7900 Digital Press just before Covid hit and is now reaping the rewards of its metallic printing ability.
The new press – supplied
by Currie Group – came with the silver, white, and emboss options. Joint managing director Stuart Rowe said the silver in particular has gone down well with clients and is leading to new potential market opportunities.
Rowe said: “We can produce virtually any metallic colour we like on the new 7900, we lay down the silver first, then add
market.
“The 7900 though is an
amazing press all round, its quality, consistency, and productivity are giving us a platform to grow. We have been one of the pioneers with silver, we know how to make it work, the software is impressive.”
As a general commercial printer Arrow has to be able to handle a wide variety of work. Rowe said: “We have been using the silver on the HP Indigo
for applications like greetings cards and certificates, and we see a big opportunity for it in
beautiful, no doubt about that.” Arrow has been operating as
Rowe family business for nigh on 50 years, with Stuart and his brother Ian running it for the past quarter of a century.
Phillip Rennell, sales and marketing director at Currie Group said: “Stuart and Ian
are passionate about creating
a high value service offering
for Arrow Print’s customers, they have been committed to learning and exploring the best options, and used the last HP Dscoop conference to turn ideas into action.” 21
