Some possibilities of WhiteInk can’t be simulated on screen. Practical tests and imagination are needed. This way you can manage for example to print with additional white colour channels within the standard. With the help of the individual gradation it’s possible to control the colour application. We were impressed by how many different effects you can create with just one image – all on one sheet. Finished and instantly dry.

Of course dygy will continue its journey throughout the land of white painters and is excited about what surprises might lie ahead. Test, test, test.

HP has introduces the Electro Ink White for the Indigo 7500 digital press, which is designed to expand the capabilities and business potential of the press.

The Electro Ink White for sheet-fed digital presses enables Indigo press users to print full-colour images on transparent, coloured and other substrates commonly used in point-of-purchase (POP) signage, greeting cards, direct mail and other applications …

“The white colour allows innovative new ways of use which weren’t possible before.“, comments Val DiGiacinto, Vice President Sales and co-owner of The Ace Group Inc. „We don’t only get a wider range of possibilities for commercial standard products like invitations but also the colour widens our service range regarding market segments like digitally printed sales plates.“ The Ace Group noticed that printing the digital way with HP ElectroInk White onto transparent film, which is often used for sales plates, has a clear advantage compared to offset printing. Whilst offset colours in some cases take hours or days to dry on not porous materials HP ElectroInk colours dry whilst coming out of the printing system which shortens the process a lot in total. The company that also uses offset printing is now developing new ways of dealing with orders on transparent media to reduce the whole processing time.

As the first digital printers in Germany dygy offers WhiteInk (HP ElectroInk White for HP Indigo press 5500). The „white printers“ of dygy are now able to print personalised white ink onto high quality, coloured paper. The use of WhiteInk leads to new creative perspectives regarding mailings, packaging and many more. Reaching quality standards, that only silkscreening could realise before, you can print white and colourfully onto the finest paper. Material that is suitable for Indigo like foil is printable as well.

WhitInk is an enrichment especially for exclusive printing products. For example the surface structure of the paper can be detected more easily as well as the haptic of the colour application isn’t comparable to any other regular white printing process. Besides additional applications lead to more striking effects. WhiteInk is a whole new „playground“ concerning the product range, particularly within customer relationship management.

For now certified papers are offered by Fedrigoni and Mohawk.

„We see the WhiteInk technology as an expansion of our service offers especially towards advertising agencies and other professional advertisers.“, says Christopher C. Mickelthwate, General Manager of dygy GmbH. „As a special service provider for creatively and intelligently designed printing products we use this new technology to develop highly attention attracting products for marketing and commercials.“

With this improvement dygy offers a complete innovation on the printing market.

P.S.: Switching over to WhiteInk isn’t hard but the pieces to be printed should always be checked!

„Higher spirits commanded: paint the right corner above black!“

With Sigmar Polke one of the most important – and probably one of the most humorous – representators of the German art of the 20th century passed away. Accompanied by Gerhard Richter he is the founder of the capitalistic literalism in the 1960s. His work can’t be defined by any artistic style as for his oeuvre is characterized with a variety that until today won’t be comparable to anything. It’s his merit to have created his artwork away from the strategic artistic „brands“ and to not have made his work „art intrinsically positionable“ even though he belongs to some of the most popular artists of our time.
He leaves a wonderful, ironic and sometimes mysterious work behind.
