huncolor – a brand for every applicationThe huncolor product brand reduces the benefits of POPP6* and POPP7* machine generations to a common denominator. Black and white or CMYK, light or heavy paper weights? huncolor modules always provide the right solution. Many innovative features in conjunction with convincingperformance characteristics pave the way for improved quality, greater flexibility and a secure return on investment.
