The 29-inch format HP Indigo 12000 Digital Press enables production of these products through offset matching digital color with true photo quality, high productivity, and wide versatility on an unmatched range of media including synthetic, metalized and canvas applications. The new HP Indigo presses will be installed in time to help Shutterfly manage the annual boom of photo-based gift giving for the holiday season.

“At Shutterfly, our mission is to help people share life’s joy. Our customers trust us with their most treasured memories, and count on us to deliver the best quality in the industry,” said Dwayne Black, Senior Vice President, Chief Operations Officer, Shutterfly, Inc. “HP Indigo digital presses set the industry standard for quality, and after our successful HP press installs last year, we’re delighted to complete the second phase of upgrading our printing fleet.
