1. It Prints Metallic Ink... Digitally!

The HP Indigo digital press expands creative possibilities with its ability to print metallic colours using silver ink. This specialty ink serves as a base layer that, when combined with CMYK, produces a stunning array of metallic effects — including golds, bronzes, coppers, and custom metallic hues — all in a single digital print process.

HP Indigo ElectroInk Silver delivers a true metallic sheen, adding a premium look and feel to your print. Whether you're aiming for subtle shimmer or bold, reflective impact, metallic printing offers a visually striking way to elevate your brand and design.
Because it’s digitally printed, metallic colours can be customized and personalized without the need for traditional foil stamping or metallic substrates. This reduces cost and turnaround time while offering incredible flexibility for short runs and variable designs.

2. It Prints on Textures Substrates.

The HP Indigo digital press offers the versatility to print on a wide range of textured papers, opening up creative possibilities that go beyond smooth, coated stocks. Whether it's linen, felt, laid, or other specialty finishes, the press delivers sharp, high-quality results that preserve the integrity and tactile appeal of the paper.

This capability allows for stunning visual effects and elevated sensory experiences — ideal for premium look and feel. With its liquid electrophotographic (LEP) technology, the HP Indigo ensures that ink adheres seamlessly even to uneven surfaces, maintaining vibrant colour, fine detail, and crisp text across every texture.

3. Can do Raised Ink Applications

The HP Indigo digital press features the ability to print using raised ink, adding a dimensional, tactile effect to printed pieces. This specialty enhancement allows for layered ink applications that create texture you can actually feel — perfect for adding emphasis to logos, text, patterns, or design elements.

Raised ink not only elevates the visual appeal of a piece but also enhances its sensory impact, making it ideal for premium packaging, invitations, business cards, and other high-end applications. The effect is achieved digitally, without the need for traditional embossing or additional finishing processes, offering faster turnaround and greater flexibility for short runs or variable data projects.

4. It Prints White Ink.

The HP Indigo digital press features high-opacity white ink printing, offering unmatched versatility and creative freedom for a wide range of applications. This true digital white ink can be used as a base layer, a top layer, or as a standalone design element, depending on the desired effect.

When printed beneath CMYK layers, white ink acts as a base on dark, coloured, kraft, metallic, or transparent substrates, allowing colours to pop with enhanced vibrancy and clarity. When printed on top, it can be used for specialty effects or unique finishes — such as face-adhesive labels or decorative elements — adding contrast, depth, and texture.
HP Indigo’s white ink is digitally applied, enabling quick setup, variable data, and short-run flexibility without sacrificing quality.

5. It can Print Invisible Ink... Really!

The HP Indigo digital press supports the use of invisible ink, a special security feature that remains unseen under normal lighting conditions but becomes visible when exposed to UV light. This unique capability enables the integration of covert elements into printed materials — such as codes, logos, serial numbers, or authentication marks — without altering the visual design.
