Idealliance, the global communications non-profit organization, with 11 offices around the world, has certified the HP Indigo 1×000, 7×00, 5×00 Press Series and the HP Indigo Label & Packaging Web Press Series with its Master Elite Level ISO/PAS 15339 Certification designations. Idealliance ISO/PAS 15339 Certification is an extended compliance program of the Digital Press Certification for digital printing press manufacturers, allowing OEMs to certify demonstration of press aptitude as it relates to hitting specified color spaces and the ability to hold color tolerance.
By achieving both the Idealliance Digital Press and the Master Elite Level of Idealliance ISO/PAS 15339 Certification, the HP Indigo presses demonstrated clearly not only their capability to print to the largest color gamut, Universal Extra Large CRPC 7 within CIEDE2000 tolerances as specified in CGATS TR 016-2014, but also their capability to hold color consistently.
Newly added to the Idealliance Digital Press Certification Program, the Idealliance ISO/PAS 15339 Certification allows OEMs to demonstrate the capability of their presses to print to a variety of color spaces specified by the Characterized Reference Printing Conditions of ISO/PAS 15339. The program comprises two tiers—CRPC 1-6 and CRPC 1-6 Plus 7—and four aptitude levels: Master Elite, Advanced Elite, Intermediate Elite, and Satisfactory Elite.
“We are extremely proud to acknowledge that HP Indigo has attained the highest level of achievement within this certification program—Level I-Master Elite, Tier 1 and Tier 2—for its press series 1×000, 7×00, and 5×00, all driven by the HP SmartStream Digital Front End,” says Timothy Baechle, Idealliance Vice President, Global Print Technologies & Workflows. “This accomplishment shows the significant range and performance of the HP Indigo cut-sheet technology, in particular its ability to achieve color spaces and, especially, to hit and maintain incredibly tight tolerances.
