Shutterfly buying more than 60 HP Indigo digital presses

HP Inc. announced one of its biggest customers, photo personalization giant Shutterfly, has embarked on a massive expansion of its digital press fleet with the acquisition of more than 60 new HP Indigo Digital Presses. HP referred to the deal as “the largest single customer order to date for the HP Graphics business.”

The rollout includes B2-sized HP Indigo 100K digital presses, HP Indigo 12000 digital presses, as well as investments in web-fed photo presses to transform photo portrait printing to digital. In 2017, Shutterfly named HP its “preferred” digital press provider. The presses will be installed across four manufacturing facilities in Shakopee, Minnesota; Fort Mill, South Carolina; Tempe, Arizona; and Plano, Texas over the next 18 months.

“Over our 20-plus year legacy, Shutterfly has committed to investing in the best and most innovative technology to fuel our business, delivering high-quality products to our customers, hosts and partners,” said Dwayne Black, COO, Shutterfly. “This latest upgrade of our HP Indigo fleet continues that investment in quality, productivity and innovation, with significant advancements in speed and automation that help us deliver even higher quality products to our customers, even faster at a time when sharing tangible memories is more important than ever.”

“Today more than ever before, tangible, personalized experiences are becoming more precious,” said Haim Levit, general manager, HP Indigo. “Consumers are looking for quick turnaround, alongside real-to-life photo quality. We at HP Indigo are proud to be Shutterfly’s provider of choice in making this a reality.”
