Case Study: HP achieves faster, high-quality digital press performance with Hybrid Software Helix

HP boosts press productivity with Hybrid Software Helix at 1625 dpi

The customer, HP, required a high-performance RIP software to power its new generation of commercial, labels, and packaging digital presses. The challenge was to process enormous and increasing data volumes at engine speed to support higher resolutions and more colors, all while keeping the digital front end (DFE) hardware costs economical. The vendor, Hybrid Software Helix, provided its Harlequin RIP technology as the core of the HP PrintOS Production Pro DFE.

Hybrid Software Helix implemented its Harlequin RIP through a deeply collaborative partnership with HP, sharing roadmaps and co-designing features to meet specific press requirements. The solution was significantly faster than HP's previous RIP, enabling presses to run at rated speed with a reduced hardware footprint, which lowered costs and power consumption. As a result, Harlequin now drives the entire fleet of HP Indigo commercial, labels, packaging, and PageWide web presses, providing unparalleled reliability and rendering quality.
