HP has reached a major milestone with 3,000 HP Digital Labels and Packaging Presses now active worldwide. The milestone press, an HP Indigo 6K+ digital press, one of only three currently in the European market was installed at Watershed Group’s Dublin facility.
With a 30-year heritage of craftsmanship, innovation and growth, Watershed now operates five production sites across Ireland, Germany, and Poland. The company is a key print partner to the international food, wine & spirits, pharmaceutical, and industrial sectors with a hybrid production ecosystem.
The installation of the latest HP Indigo 6K+ digital press expands Watershed’s existing HP Indigo fleet, which features the HP Indigo 6900 Digital Press and three HP Indigo 6K presses. The strategic investment was driven by increasing demand for high-quality, short-run jobs with faster lead times and higher operational resilience.
“We’re proud to be a Beta site for the HP Indigo 6K+ and HP Indigo’s 3,000th digital press for labels and packaging worldwide,” said Kirwan Waters, Director, Watershed. “Investing in the HP Indigo 6K+ was a natural step for us as our demand for digital printing continues to grow. The press has strengthened our lead times, improved on-time delivery, and given us the flexibility to shift shorter runs to digital, freeing up capacity across the business. For our customers, that means better service, faster turnaround, and consistently high quality.”
“Watershed have continuously pushed forward while staying true to their values of quality and service and I’m thrilled that HP Indigo 6K+ underpins these goals and supports Watershed to grow its business,” said Noam Zilbershtain, VP & General Manager, HP Indigo. “This 3,000th press milestone underscores the global momentum for digital transformation and validates our shared vision of helping customers build smarter, more sustainable operations.”
