HP & Currie Group truck winds its way to NSW
After kicking off in Queensland, the HP and Currie Group's digital tour is now headed for NSW.
The Currie Group truck has been re-fitted and re-branded to promote its expanded HP portfolio – this is the first time the HP Designjet large format printers have been included in a digital print roadshow. The entire wrap for the truck was printed on a HP Turbojet 8000 series by ABC Photosigns and was applied to the truck by RE-CAR in Victoria and is a testament to just how powerful digital printing is.
Visiting RMIT University in Melbourne last week proved a hit. Robert Black, director at RMIT International Centre of Graphic Technology said that: "It was great to have the truck onsite for our open day. When the young people came on board you could see their eyes light up as they realised the level of sophistication in today's world of digital printing."

Phillip Rennell of the Currie Group said that: "This tour is the ideal way for PSPs to gain first hand experience of the expanded digital print offers from HP. Visitors will be invited to come on board the truck and view operational presses as well as discuss technical aspects with our digital print experts."
"Visitors will also be able to see the new HP Designjet Z6100 printer - the largest printer in the HP Designjet range. It will be the first opportunity for many PSPs, especially those in regional centres, to see this new large format printer in action."
All equipment will be operational. The HP Indigo 3500 will demonstrate its offset quality production of photobooks, brochures, business cards and postcards. The HP Designjet Z series printers will output a range of high quality photo realistic posters and images. The truck will also feature a range of finishing equipment including a UV coater, book binding machines and guillotines.
