Sheet-fed Indigo digital press for short-run commercial print. Older generation, near-offset color on a wide substrate range.
Most printer pages just tell you what a printer does. Here's the honest version: when this machine is the right choice, when it's fine, and when you should look at something else. We sell a lot of these for a reason, but the reason is not "every office."
The HP Indigo 3500 Digital Press is a sheet-fed liquid electrophotographic press built for short-run commercial print: business cards, brochures, photo books, direct mail. ElectroInk technology delivers near-offset color on coated and uncoated stocks. Catalog speed is 136 mono ppm and 68 ppm color (4-color). Sheet size is up to 13x19. This is production-class equipment that lives in a print room with an operator, not a copier you stage in an office. Substrates include synthetic, plastic, label, and specialty stocks beyond what a toner press handles. The regret: the 3500 is an older Indigo generation, so if you're sourcing parts and ElectroInk consumables in 2026 confirm with HP that supply will continue for the next 5 years before committing.

Three ways to get this printer, each priced to match how you actually use it. Most small offices lease because toner and maintenance are bundled. If you know what you need, buy outright. If you already own one, just reorder supplies.
Final lease rate depends on term length, credit profile, and bundled supplies. Outright purchase and supplies pricing varies with bundled warranty, install packages, and order volume. Request a quote for exact pricing.
