Is this the right printer for you?

Who the HP Indigo 5500 Digital Press is actually for

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."

Best fit

Pick this if...

  • You operate a commercial print shop with Indigo experience.
  • You produce medium-run business cards, brochures, books, and direct mail.
  • You need ElectroInk substrate flexibility on coated, synthetic, and label stocks.
  • You're buying refurb with HP service support and consumable commitments.
  • You have trained operators running multiple shifts.
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • It's fine if this is a step-up from a 3000-series Indigo.
  • It's fine if you've negotiated consumable supply for 5+ years.
  • It's fine if your run lengths are medium with frequent substrate changes.
  • It's fine if you use HP SmartStream workflow in your prepress.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • Skip this if you don't have a print room with operator coverage.
  • Skip this if you're new to Indigo workflows.
  • Skip this if you can stretch to a current Indigo 7000 or 12000 series.
  • Skip this if your work is office documents, not commercial print.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

The HP Indigo 5500 Digital Press is a sheet-fed Indigo built for medium-run commercial print, a step up from the 3000-series in throughput and substrate handling. ElectroInk delivers near-offset color on coated, uncoated, synthetic, label, and specialty stocks up to 13x19. Catalog 272 mono ppm and 80 ppm color reflects the engine's productive ranges in mono and 4-color modes. Production-class press for an in-house print shop with operator coverage. Built to run longer shifts than the 3000-series. The regret: this is a previous-generation Indigo and HP has rolled out newer 7000 and 12000 series machines, so for a new investment confirm parts and ElectroInk supply commitments past 2030.

Supplies & consumables

Toner, yields, and what to actually reorder

The #1 question we get on this printer is "which toner do I buy?" Short answer: you have two cartridge options and a drum. Standard yield TN830 covers roughly 1,200 pages. High yield TN830XL covers roughly 4,500 pages and is the better value for most offices. Pick XL unless you print very little.

The drum unit (DR810) is separate and usually lasts 15,000 to 30,000 pages before it needs replacing. At a typical small office volume, expect to change it once every 2 to 4 years.

If you lease this printer through us, toner and drum are included. You never pay for supplies separately. That's usually the better deal once you add up real costs over 3 years.

FAQ

HP Indigo 5500 Digital Press, common questions

The questions we get asked most often on this model. If yours isn't here, call (904) 579-2558 and get an answer in about 30 seconds.

The HP Indigo 5500 Digital Press does not use traditional toner; it uses proprietary liquid HP ElectroInk designed for high-volume commercial printing. It ships with starter ink cartridges suitable for initial setup, with a high-volume capacity tailored for industrial use. Replacement ink cartridges are specialized for the Indigo 5500 and must be sourced from official HP or compatible suppliers. When you lease through us with ink included, you never pay for ink separately.
The HP Indigo 5500 Digital Press offers higher throughput with speeds of 272 mono ppm and 80 ppm color, compared to the HP Indigo 3500's 136 mono ppm and 68 ppm color. Both use ElectroInk technology, but the 5500 is designed for longer production shifts and higher monthly volumes (up to 150,000 impressions). The 3500 is better suited for short-run commercial print jobs like business cards and brochures, while the 5500 handles medium-run production. For small offices, the 3500 may be more cost-effective, but the 5500 is ideal for businesses with higher volume needs.
The HP Indigo 5500 Digital Press is designed for medium-run commercial printing with a high monthly volume capacity of up to 150,000 impressions and speeds of 272 mono ppm and 80 ppm color. Its production-class features and need for operator coverage make it better suited for in-house print shops rather than small offices. Small businesses with lower volume needs may find it more practical to lease a smaller commercial printer.
