PALO ALTO (Alliance News) - Computer hardware maker HP Inc announced Monday that it has entered into a strategic collaboration agreement with Smurfit Kappa Group to further develop the recently announced digital corrugated post-print solution, the HP PageWide C500 Press.
Smurfit Kappa is a provider of paper-based packaging solutions with over 100 converting plants in Europe.
Smurfit Kappa will collaborate with HP to revolutionize the way high-value boxes are produced. With the HP PageWide C500 Press, Smurfit Kappa will be able to print direct-to-board with quality to substitute lithography, and deliver faster turnarounds with just-in-time production.
The company will work closely with HP to develop the new press, and plans to roll out the new solution in its European plants.
HP is planning to start testing the HP PageWide C500 Press at customer sites in 2017, and the press is expected to be commercially available in 2018.
