quality HP Designjet Z6100 Printer. “None of the other
vendors’ printers could stand up to the volume the way
the Designjets have. We had quality issues, we had
reliability issues and we had throughput issues. Then
we bought HP wide formats and ran them hard,
printing up to 4,000 dust overs a day with no
problem,” Perez says, adding that by avoiding the
need to reprint defective work, the HP Designjets have
reduced waste to a minimum.

Both the Indigo and the Designjet use HP DreamColor
Technologies to produce accurate color under
fluctuating environmental conditions. “The issue of
color management is a constant topic here,” Perez
says. “HP technologies help us keep output within
customer color profiles across all the presses we run.”

As RPI standardized on a broad-spectrum portfolio of
HP solutions, it worked with HP Financial Services on
coordinated, favorable lease financing. “HP listens,
understands and responds,” says Perez. “We were
able to get the correct configuration for our unique
needs, and we obtained the best prices under
attractive financing terms.”

Increased business volume: The HP Indigo’s unrivaled
output quality was key to RPI growing its share of the
output quality was key to RPI growing its share of the
lucrative photo-book market. “The HP Indigo is the
premier press for printing photo books; our partners
specify they want Indigo quality,” says Perez. “RPI’s
photo book business was up an average 125 percent
across all customers in 2007 and in 2008 growth
continues to be strong. Without the Indigos, we
wouldn’t have that increased business.”

wouldn’t have that increased business.”
Decreased labor costs: The HP Indigo’s ease of use has
allowed RPI to arrange its Indigos into pods of four
machines each, with a single senior printer running all
four with just a few helpers. During the two-month
peak season alone, Perez estimates this saves between
$30,000 and $35,000 in labor costs. “We’re able to
use the highest-paid printers very effectively, given the
Indigos’ reliability and the way the console software
works. It’s a significant cost advantage.”

Faster turnaround: HP is constantly improving its
product performance as well as innovating new
solutions, says Perez. For example, a recent software
upgrade gives the Indigos perfect block coverage with
less ink, eliminating the need to place heavily printed
sheets on drying racks. “We take the pages off the
Indigo press and process them immediately to the
bindery. It shaves eight hours off our turn time, which is
significant to us in both meeting deadlines and in the
amount of work we can take on.”

Easy maintenance/uninterrupted uptime: RPI elected to
send its press people to HP Customer Care digital
press person/shared maintenance training. The HP
equipment runs so reliably that remedial maintenance
is minimal, Perez says. When HP service people do
visit the shop, they are invariably responsive and
efficient. However, RPI’s ability to self-maintain cuts
costs and downtime.
