Digital Printing


For most substrates, Indigo inks will only adhere properly with the help of a primer. DigiPrime® primer improves ink receptivity, rub resistance and image quality on most types of paper and film. As a 100% aqueous product, it is safer for operators and the environment than alternatives, and does not yellow over time. Ninety percent of Indigo printers use HP-recommended DigiPrime®.
