HP has launched a number of new digital printing solutions at drupa 2016, which is currently running in Dusseldorf, Germany.

With the largest exhibit space at the show, HP is demonstrating more than 50 digital printing solutions from across its portfolio.

The new HP PageWide C500 Press is a flexible post-print solution powered by HP PageWide Technology.

And the new HP Indigo Digital Combination Press enables HP Indigo print and digital embellishments in a single pass.

HP is also announcing early customer adoption of its new HP Indigo 12000, 8000, 7900 and 5900 digital presses, and a first beta customer for HP Indigo 50000.

Mike Salfity, general manager and global head of HP Graphics Solutions Business, said the company was “redefining the role of printing, with digital innovations that change the economics of the graphics industry.”

Drupa 2016 will run until 10 June.
