1st Byte places order for B2 Landa and HP Indigo 7600

London-based 1st Byte has signed up for a B2 Landa digital press 12 years after ordering the then-Indigo equivalent.

Managing director Lawrence Dalton originally signed up for an Indigo XB2 at Drupa 2000, but the model never made it to market. At this year’s Drupa the company signed a letter of intent with Landa while also buying an HP Indigo 7600 digital press for immediate delivery.

"We are great followers of Indigo and love the HP kit. We looked at the Indigo 10000, but it’s too large to fit in our building," Dalton explained. "I gave Benny Landa a future order for a B2 press seeing as he first sold me one 12 years ago!"

The new HP Indigo 7600 will replace one of the company’s three existing Indigo 5000 presses.

The £4m-turnover, 40-staff business is expanding its offering to corporate and creative customers.
