HP Indigo 18K
The HP Indigo 18K is the next generation of the world's best-selling B2 digital press, succeeding the Indigo 15K. It keeps the 15K's 3,450 sheets/hour pace and seven ink stations while adding exclusive duplexing on 450–600 µm board, a Photo-Pro quality mode and an AI toolset that lets one operator run several presses.
- Max speed
- 345 ppm A4-equivalent (3,450 B2 sheets/h 4/0; 4,600 EPM)
- Price range
- US$1.1M–1.6M new (trade guidance); US$300K–700K refurbished (12000/15K-series)

HP Indigo 7K+
The HP Indigo 7K+ is the drupa 2024 evolution of HP's best-selling 7-series — the B3+ workhorse behind more than 2,200 installations worldwide. It keeps the 7K's offset-matching ElectroInk quality and seven-station ink flexibility, and adds AI-driven automation, the Nio print assistant and a lower-click ECO Print Mode for everyday four-colour work.

The Xerox Iridesse is the only toner press that runs CMYK plus two specialty dry inks — metallic gold, metallic silver, white, clear or fluorescent pink — in a single pass at its full 120 ppm. Mixed-metallic layering under and over CMYK unlocks embellished work no other toner machine can produce.
