This latest addition reflects Michelman’s ongoing commitment to innovation and responsiveness to evolving customer needs. Engineered to enhance operational flexibility, the primer demonstrates improved runnability, a broader operating window, and simplified maintenance—while maintaining the trusted substrate compatibility and performance standards of the DigiPrime family.

“Our development efforts have focused on delivering a solution that aligns with the practical demands of press operators and converters,” said Lisa DiGate, Vice President, Global Digital Printing at Michelman. “We’re looking forward to engaging with customers through expanded field trials to validate performance across diverse production environments.”

Michelman’s portfolio of water-based, PFAS-free primers supports a wide range of HP Indigo Digital Presses, from the 6K to the 200K and V12. Like its predecessors, the new primer is designed with sustainability and compliance in mind, including suitability for food contact applications and compatibility with recycling processes.

“Michelman’s continued investment in primer development strengthens our long-standing collaboration,” said Regina Guslitzer-Okner, Head of Supplies, Applications, and Sustainability at HP Indigo. “This new offering empowers our customers to explore new application spaces with confidence and efficiency.”
