The HP 6 Color CI Flexo Press is a professional central-impression flexographic printing solution exclusively engineered by HP, integrating industrial-grade precision, efficient workflow, and stable 6-color printing capability. Designed for medium-to-long production runs in flexible packaging, labels, and film converting industries, this press combines HP’s decades of printing technology accumulation with user-centric design, delivering richer color expression, consistent high-definition output, reduced operational costs, and enhanced production efficiency for converters worldwide. Based on the classic 4-color CI flexo technology, it adds two additional color units to break through the color limitation of traditional process printing, realizing more delicate color transitions and more accurate color reproduction.
1. Central Impression Cylinder
Provides uniform pressure, ensuring stable material tension and preventing stretching and misalignment.
2. Printing Units
Six independent printing units enable high-precision six-color printing.
Equipped with a flexographic cylinder and inking system to ensure uniform color.
3. Inking System
Adjustable inking roller system supports water-based, UV, and oil-based inks to meet the needs of different materials.
4. Drying System
Air drying or UV curing ensures uniform ink drying and prevents sticking during high-speed printing.
5. Tension Control System
Tension sensors and automatic adjustment devices ensure smooth and continuous transport of films, paper, or composite materials.
6. Rewinding & Slitting System
Automatic rewinding of printed materials; optional slitting devices meet different roll width requirements.
7. Operation Control System (PLC / Touch Screen)
Human-machine interface control facilitates quick color adjustment, speed adjustment, and production status monitoring.
1. Precise 6-Color Registration & Superior Color Expression
Equipped with a large-diameter central impression drum—the core component of CI flexo technology—this press ensures uniform web tension and zero substrate shift throughout the printing process, achieving ±0.1mm registration accuracy even on thin, stretchable films. With 812 dpi image resolution (up to 2438 x 2438 dpi HDI for high-definition imaging) and support for lineatura ranging from 175 to 210 lpi, it reproduces sharp details, smooth color transitions, and consistent color saturation across all six process colors (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black, Orange, Purple). Referring to HP IndiChrome six-color printing technology, the additional orange and purple units effectively expand the color gamut, making it possible to reproduce difficult-to-achieve colors such as flesh tones, sky blue, and metallic-like hues, while reducing color drift and ensuring more realistic image restoration[superscript:2][superscript:3]. The closed inking unit with chambered doctor blades ensures even ink feeding, minimizing dot gain and ensuring flawless color consistency from the first print to the last batch.
2. High-Speed Productivity & Reduced Waste
Optimized for efficiency, the HP 6 Color CI Flexo Press features a gearless servo drive system that enables stable high-speed operation: up to 28 m/min in 6-color mode, 38 m/min in enhanced productivity mode, and up to 60 m/min in 1-4 color modes. The fast-sleeve change design minimizes make-ready time, while automatic tension control and pre-registration functions reduce material waste and shorten setup cycles. Drawing on HP’s intelligent automation technology, the press is equipped with enhanced visual systems to reduce operator intervention, and automatic calibration functions to track registration and key quality parameters in real time, further improving production efficiency and yield. This combination of speed and efficiency makes it ideal for high-volume production, helping converters meet tight delivery deadlines without compromising print quality.
3. Broad Substrate Compatibility & Versatile Applications
This press supports a wide range of substrates, including pressure-sensitive label paper, plain paper, non-compatible films, cardboard, PE, BOPP, PET, aluminum foil, and laminates, with substrate thickness ranging from 12 to 450 microns (0.5 to 18 points) and maximum web width of 340 mm—consistent with HP’s high-standard substrate adaptability requirements for flexo presses. It is perfectly suited for printing high-end food packaging, premium daily chemical labels, high-grade industrial packaging, luxury shopping bags, and high-definition promotional materials, catering to the diverse needs of the high-end packaging and converting industries. Additionally, it is compatible with water-based, solvent-based, and UV inks, supports HP IndiChrome ink mixing system (IMS) for on-press and off-press spot color creation, and meets global environmental standards, supporting eco-friendly printing requirements[superscript:2].
4. Intelligent Operation & Smart Workflow Integration
Designed for ease of use, the press is equipped with a user-friendly PLC touch screen, allowing operators to adjust parameters, monitor production status, and troubleshoot quickly. Optional video inspection and auto-registration systems further simplify operation, reducing manual intervention and improving yield. It also supports cloud connectivity via HP PrintOS X, enabling remote monitoring, workflow management, and data analysis to optimize production efficiency and reduce downtime—consistent with HP’s smart workflow integration concept for industrial printing equipment[superscript:2]. The robust mechanical structure ensures long-term stable operation, with low maintenance requirements and a service life that delivers long-term return on investment.
5. HP Brand Reliability & Eco-Friendly Design
Backed by HP’s global reputation for quality and innovation, the 6 Color CI Flexo Press undergoes strict quality testing before leaving the factory, complying with ISO9001 and CE international certifications to ensure compliance with global quality and safety standards. It adopts eco-friendly design concepts, supporting recyclable monomaterial structures and solvent-free lamination, while water-based inks reduce environmental impact, aligning with the industry’s sustainable development trends. With HP’s global after-sales service network, converters can enjoy timely technical support and spare parts supply, ensuring uninterrupted production—inherit the reliable quality assurance of HP printing equipment series.
Converters, packaging manufacturers, and print shops seeking a reliable, high-performance 6-color CI flexo press to handle medium-to-long production runs. It is particularly suitable for businesses focusing on high-end flexible packaging, premium label printing, and high-definition film converting, who prioritize rich color expression, print quality, production efficiency, and cost control, while requiring the reliability and technical support of a global brand like HP. It is also an ideal choice for enterprises that need to undertake high-value printing projects and pursue differentiated competitive advantages in color reproduction
