HP partners with RR Donnelley for digital press options

Hewlett-Packard and R.R. Donnelley & Sons Co. finalized plans on a collaboration to develop digital printing solutions for inkjet-based digital presses.

"With the introduction of the Inkjet Web Press at Drupa last year, we broke new ground in the analog-to-digital transformation of the graphics industry," said Vyomesh Joshi, executive vice president of HP’s Imaging and Printing Group.

“We are taking this transformation one step further by collaborating with the world’s largest print service provider to bring greater value to our customers.”

Under the proposed arrangement, RR Donnelley’s Research and Development Center is expected to collaborate with the Inkjet High-speed Production Solutions unit of HP to develop new digital printing technologies. Products will be sold under the HP brand.

The companies said they initially plan to focus on the development of a magnetic ink character recognition (MICR) printing solution.
