After passing an initial screening, the recertified products underwent RIT’s Printing Applications Laboratory’s rigorous testing process to evaluate runnability, ink-transferability, blanket-substrate compatibility, blanket-temperature operating window, and ink-substrate interaction (adhesion) on the following HP Indigo presses: 5000, 5500, 5600 Multi Shot, 7000, 7500, 7600, 7800 and 7900.
RIT’s well-known HP Indigo Media Certification Program is a thorough certification program that is highly regarded by paper merchants and users of HP Indigo presses.
“This respected stamp of approval delivers added confidence that Mactac’s media is of the highest quality and will perform at the highest level,” said Nate Gill, product manager, Mactac Distributor Products.
“We take great pride in knowing our products confidently meet our customers’ needs. One of our key goals as an industry leader in top-coating is to continually advance our expertise so that we may provide an extensive product portfolio to the digital sheet-fed printing industry,” Gill added.
Comprehensive product recertification reports are available through HP and RIT.
