HP Indigo White Ink

White where white shouldn’t exist.

HP Indigo white ink allows us to print opaque white on coloured, dark or transparent stocks, opening up creative routes impossible with standard CMYK alone.

  • Coloured and clear stocks – Print where CMYK can’t.
  • Layered creativity – White as base, highlight or design feature.
