Founded in Israel in 1977 as a private research and development company, Indigo provided technology to manufacturing companies. Over the years Indigo conducted a massive research effort to develop high quality, liquid ink, digital printing. In late 1993, armed with their ElectroInk® Technology and a patent fence of more than 100 patents, Indigo introduced its first digital printing press, the Indigo E-Print® 1000™.

To finance its manufacturing and worldwide marketing effort, Indigo N.V. was formed, and in 1994 the company made an initial public offering on NASDAQ. Today Indigo's corporate headquarters, as well as European sales offices, are located in Maastricht, The Netherlands. Research and manufacturing remains in Rehovot, Israel, and the company's North American offices are located in Woburn, Massachusetts.

After more than 75 enhancements were made to the original press, the Indigo E-Print 1000+ was introduced in 1996. Today's flagship product, the E-Print 1000 Turbostream™ was introduced in early 1998. The Omnius®, a press designed specifically for the packaging industry for the printing of labels and flexible packaging, was introduced in 1995, and the Omnius CardPress™ for the manufacture of plastic cards came to market in 1998.

Over the years Indigo has continued to develop and update peripheral equipment, software and consumables for its presses. Indigo made a number of strategic alliances with both technology and substrate companies to permit Indigo press owners to enjoy maximum flexibility and profitability. Indigo has the widest variety of substrates available from 50 lb. text to 12- point cover stock, and specialty substrates from 2 mil to 7 mil.

In 1993 only Indigo could claim the powerful combination of the liquid ink quality level of Digital Offset Color™, a fully digital press, complete personalization and versioning, and the widest array of substrates. Today Indigo, and only Indigo, can make this same claim and remains the world's leading provider of digital press equipment.

LDR is honored and excited to be the exclusive Indigo distributors in the Western United States.
