DigiGuard 901 can be applied post-print by mixing with off-the-shelf UV overprint varnishes and allows label converters to achieve a higher level of durability. This enables HP Indigo labels & packaging customers operating any HP Indigo labels & packaging press, to expand markets into applications requiring the most stringent industry specifications, mainly for the home and personal care segment.
