Wide format printer manufacturer Hewlett-Packard announces the opening of a new Center of Excellence facility and expands its an HP Indigo ink production in Singapore. The facility aims to educate and inspire printing companies and their customers in Asia Pacific and Japan about new opportunities made possible by HP digital printing solutions. The new 226,000 square-foot facility will provide customers with one-stop access to HP’s broad digital printing portfolio and solutions, as well as a space to connect with experts and share creative and technical best practices.

The new 10,000 square meter facility will further support worldwide Indigo ink volume production by expanding local capabilities from the current ink series to the fast-growing new generation of inks for the HP Indigo 10000, 20000 and 30000 digital presses.

Substrate testing and certification capabilities will be built into the plant to enable substrate manufacturers, suppliers and HP Indigo press owners from Asia Pacific and Japan and Europe, the Middle East and Africa to evaluate substrate compatibility with HP Indigo Digital Presses.

The new ink manufacturing facility is scheduled to open in 2015.
