Cober Solutions Invests in Two New HP Indigo 100K Presses

Cober Solutions, the leading provider of HP Indigo digital printing in Canada, announced its investment in the HP Indigo 100K Digital Press and HP Site Flow solutions to grow business in highly automated print production for on-demand consumer applications in the Canadian market.

“Data is more important now than ever, as we are seeing a shift in business since the pandemic toward more on-line applications. High-volume, short-run work is all about effi-cient production, and that is why we chose the HP Indigo 100K, which is highly automat-ed and robust,” said Todd Cober, president, Cober Solutions. “Our growth is generated by on-demand manufacturing, which means smaller runs, and more digital work.”

The multi-million-dollar agreement signed recently for two new HP Indigo 100K Digital Presses with HP for the technology upgrade will position Cober to continue to expand its digital printing operations.

“Canadians have been unserved in the on-demand market and this investment is aimed to work on their behalf,” said Cober, the fourth generation in the 100-year-old, family-run business.

Engineered for nonstop printing, the new B2 HP Indigo 100K is the first press in HP In-digo’s fifth-generation platform, featuring innovation to deliver much larger digital print volumes thanks to high speed and productivity, while ensuring Indigo’s renowned digital offset look and feel.

Cober’s five-press Indigo fleet, including 29-inch and 19-inch Indigo presses, positions it to fulfill on-demand printing products for the Canadian market, including a large amount of photo specialty products from global companies and premium b2b business on-demand applications

Making its first investment in an Indigo press more than 20 years ago, Cober’s digital business is up 600 to 700 percent over the past decade, and continues to grow, according to Cober. Today, business revenue is generated overall 50 percent from digital printing, and Cober now runs all 29-inch work on the HP Indigo digital presses, which replaced its offset production in that format.
