Acquiring and installing the new industrial-scale HP PageWide C550 Press builds on La Cartonera Lucentina’s expansive digital print offering with high-graphic retail packaging and corrugated display production using its HP Scitex 17000 press.
La Cartonera Lucentina offers in-house graphic and structural design, flexographic and digital printing and converting to help customers develop unique and creative packaging and display solutions.
“Having followed the development of the HP post-print press, we are confident that the HP PageWide C550 is the best water-based digital printing solution available in the market. The press will enable us to run production at various run lengths without compromising on speed or quality” said Javier Alba, GM, La Cartonera Lucentina.
The HP PageWide C550 built on HP Thermal Inkjet and water-based technologies, enables high-quality production of a wide range of corrugated packaging applications including coated and uncoated sheets, at a constant speed of 90 lm/m.

The HP PageWide C550 gives La Cartonera Lucentina the freedom to print versatile campaigns fast, cost-effectively, and sustainably,” said Mark Dempsey, HP PageWide Industrial WW GTM director.
