Share your volume, substrate mix and shift target. A regional HP Indigo demo-centre coordinator will return with a written press shortlist, demo scheduling options and a preliminary TCO band.
HP Indigo operates dedicated customer experience centres — printed samples, live press demos and substrate trials are run on the same series you are specifying.
The more specific the brief, the tighter the press shortlist. A reply with a rough TCO band and a demo slot typically lands within 3 business days when all five inputs are provided.
Target A4 or B2 impressions per month, separated by job type if mix varies. Volume class (Entry-Mid / Mid-High / Industrial / Ultra) drives engine selection before sheet size or colour count.
GSM range for coated / uncoated stock, film gauges in microns (PE / PP / PET / PLA), and any carton above 400 µm. Substrate list is what qualifies ElectroInk primer selection.
Share brand-owner Pantone count, any requirement for White / Silver / Invisible Yellow, and whether Delta-E < 2 is contractually required. Drives 4-colour vs 7-colour press configuration.
MIS / MES / ERP in use (PrintOS, Esko, GMG, Kodak), RIP platform, and finishing line constraints. Dictates PrintOS API scope and JDF / JMF integration depth.
Install address and postal code determine next-business-day vs 48–72 hour service-tier eligibility and define which regional parts depot supports the installation.
A written press shortlist (typically 1–3 series), a preliminary TCO band at the declared shift pattern, a demo-centre scheduling proposal, and a flagged list of substrates that require a qualification trial before production commitment.
