The HP Indigo Liquid Electrophotographic process
The HP Indigo printing engine performs the following sequence:
The HP Indigo Liquid Electrophotographic process
The HP Indigo printing engine performs the following sequence:
Charging unit generates uniform charge on the electrophotographic Photo Imaging Plate.
Exposure of the plate by a scanned array of laser diodes remove charges from the image area.
One of the colored Binary Ink Developer (BID) units engages with the plate, developing an image on it.
Ink transfers from the plate to a heated blanket using electric field.
The heated blanket melts the resin particles within the ElectroInk, merging them into a smooth tacky film.
Image (in film form) transfers from the blanket to media.
Multi shot process: For each color separation this process is repeated—this is the Multi Shot process.
The one-shot process: HP Indigo one-shot process (for web presses and heat sensitive materials)—all color separations accumulate on the blanket.
A single technology for the broadest set of applications
The unique combination of unmatched color and ink capabilities with perfect print quality on the broadest media gamut, delivers a wide range of high-value applications enabling profitable business growth.
