Palo Alto, CA (Dec. 7, 2021) — Jukebox Print, a global provider of uniquely creative print products, has acquired its first HP Indigo digital press to extend value for its customers, as it grows and expands its range of web-to-print products that enable clients to differentiate themselves.
The Canada-based commercial print company, supplying to customers in 128 countries in the past year, is experiencing rapid growth thanks to creative trendsetting driven by the popularity of its YouTube and Pinterest channels. Jukebox selected the HP Indigo solution to sustain growth and enhance product offerings with special inks and media on a much more productive and cost-effective platform.
“Complex designs that push the boundaries of print require complicated print processes that can be produced faster on our new HP Indigo 7900 digital press in quality that actually surpasses offset,” said Loredo Rucchin, founder and CEO of Jukebox. “We will pass on this value to our customers who will be amazed by the quality and value for these high-impact pieces.”
Jukebox specializes in printing on unique, stand-out substrates for full range of commercial print products such as stickers, business cards, brochures, folders, coasters and hang tags, gift cards, greeting cards, and wedding invitations. Headquartered in Vancouver, Jukebox supplies a wide range of products for leading world brands including uniquely produced stickers.
The new 19-inch HP Indigo 7900 press installed at Jukebox is fully loaded with special capabilities to create raised and textured effects and print on thick substrates including synthetics and paper boards up to 22 pt (550 microns/650gsm) using One Shot printing. The seven-color press, capable of reaching 97% of Pantones, prints with more than 20 specialty inks, including high-opacity Premium White, fluorescents pink, yellow and green, HP Indigo ElectroInk Silver for a gamut of metallics, and ElectroInk Easy Release ink for scratch-off applications.
Rucchin personally drives the creativity and innovation in Jukebox print design. Currently, the most popular product is the wedding destination invitation. The new HP Indigo 7900 press was chosen as the first step in Jukebox’s transition to HP digital printing to continue to deliver on Jukebox’s passion for delivering distinct print, said Rucchin.
“Since we have been in business, white is the most popular color ink. Customers even want to print white on white for wedding invitations and special invitations. White ink requires a complicated process, requiring die cuts are costly and time-consuming, but can now be digitally printed in one pass on the Indigo” he said.
A popular trend now is printing white on the range of G.F. S Smith Colorplan papers that come in 55 colors, he said. White on kraft is also popular, especially with the sustainability advantages of the media. He said the company would expand its offering with variable data printing in special inks using the HP Indigo.
One group Jukebox serves is the professional biking circuit and it will use the Indigo to print numbers with fluorescent inks on synthetic substrates for cyclists.
Since launching in 2010, Jukebox has served over 100 LGBTQ+ organizations and initiatives across North America. In June for Pride Month, Jukebox gifted anyone in the USA and Canada with a pride-themed sticker pack.
