Overview - HP Indigo press 3050 User Manual

Overview

The press uses binary image development (BID) in the image generation process. The
press builds ink inside the BID and transfers the ink to the image areas on the PIP. The
excess ink flows inside the BID and out to the ink tank. Each BID participates in the
generation of a different separation, although the units are identical.
There are seven BID stations numbered from 1 to 7. Starting from bottom right to top left,
the BIDs are: orange, or other spot color (1), cyan (2), magenta (3), yellow (4), black (5),
violet, or other spot color (6), and spot color (7).
