New DigiPrime® 1600 Used by Paper Mills to Produce HP Indigo Optimized Paper


CINCINNATI, OH – Michelman’s DigiPrime 1600 is an innovative new HP Indigo ElectroInk receptive primer formulated for use by paper mills. When added to size press treatments at the mill, it acts as a primer, optimizing the paper for use on HP Indigo presses. DigiPrime 1600 produces improved HP Indigo ElectroInk adhesion, superior press blanket compatibility, and increased uptime.



Paper mills using new DigiPrime 1600 have attained 3-Star ratings in the certification process for printing with HP Indigo ElectroInk print technology. Printers who purchase paper already treated with DigiPrime 1600 eliminate the need to further prime the paper prior to printing on an HP Indigo press.

With its flagship DigiPrime brand, Michelman has become the leading supplier of digital printing primer technologies used around the world by paper mills, as well as by commercial, and label and packaging press owners.
