Michelman Advances Primer Development for HP Indigo 6K and 8K Digital Presses

CINCINNATI, OH (September 11, 2025) – Michelman is expanding its DigiPrime® Vision series with a newly developed primer designed to support pressure-sensitive label applications on HP Indigo 6K and 8K Digital Presses.

This latest addition reflects Michelman’s ongoing commitment to innovation and responsiveness to evolving customer needs. Engineered to enhance operational flexibility, the primer demonstrates improved runnability, a broader operating window, and simplified maintenance—while maintaining the trusted substrate compatibility and performance standards of the DigiPrime® family.

“Our development efforts have focused on delivering a solution that aligns with the practical demands of press operators and converters. We’re looking forward to engaging with customers through expanded field trials to validate performance across diverse production environments.”

Like its predecessors, the new primer is designed with sustainability and compliance in mind, including suitability for food contact applications and compatibility with recycling processes.

“Michelman’s continued investment in primer development strengthens our long-standing collaboration,” said Regina Guslitzer-Okner, Head of Supplies, Applications, and Sustainability at HP Indigo. “This new offering empowers our customers to explore new application spaces with confidence and efficiency.”
