Yesterday our new HP-Indigo WS4500 press arrived. It came on a big 18-wheeler in about 20 boxes and took the better part of the morning to unload from the truck into our warehouse. We are trading in our old WS2000 on this new press, so now we will have two new state-of-the-art digital label printing presses.
The WS4500 is simply the best digital label press that money can buy and we are delighted to be the first US company to own two of them. It will effectively double our printing capacity and allow us to grow while still maintaining one of the fastest standard turnarounds in the industry.
We should be up an running by Thursday and ready for full production shortly after that.
Hi! I was directed to your blog via a google search on the indigo press ws4500. Our company is likewise interested in this product. How do you find the product in terms of usability and efficiency?

Scott,
Thanks for the comment. The WS4500 is the most efficient and productive digital label press out there. The color repeatability is excellent, the reliability is excellent, there are very few negatives. Of course, it does cost north of half a million dollars so you will want to make sure you have enough business for it.
