HP Latex R2000 + Neolt Factory Automated Sheet Feeder Debuts at FESPA Barcelona 2026

HP Latex R2000 + Neolt Factory Automated Sheet Feeder Debuts at FESPA Barcelona 2026

At FESPA Global Print Expo 2026 in Barcelona, Neolt Factory and HP presented a new automatic loading and unloading system developed for the HP Latex R2000 — a step forward for autonomous rigid media production that reduces manual touchpoints around the printer while supporting consistent throughput across demanding board jobs.

Live rigid media automation traveled from Printing United 2025 to FESPA Barcelona 2026, where Neolt Factory automation supports the HP Latex R2000 with automatic loading, unloading, feeding, and stacking workflows — designed to reduce manual handling, improve consistency, and increase productivity in demanding print environments.

Inside the automated workflow

From loading to finished stack, the workflow is designed to reduce manual handling and keep rigid media production moving.

  1. Load — Rigid boards are staged for automatic handling before entering the HP Latex R2000 workflow.
  2. Feed — Automated sheet feeding helps reduce repetitive operator touchpoints and supports consistent intake.
  3. Print — The HP Latex R2000 platform supports rigid and flexible applications with production-focused output.
  4. Unload — Printed boards exit into a more organized unloading and stacking process for longer production runs.

HP Latex R2000 platform highlights

Key specs that show why the HP Latex R2000 is well suited to automated rigid media handling and higher-volume production:

  • 98 in rigid media width support
  • 2 in maximum media thickness
  • Up to 28 outdoor boards per hour
  • Flatbed + roll rigid and flexible media handling

From manual handling to autonomous production

The R2000 automation story is about removing bottlenecks from rigid media production.

Automated loading and unloading

The system shown with the HP Latex R2000 is built to reduce manual handling by automating how rigid substrates enter and exit the printer across longer production runs.

Consistency at scale

By turning separate loading, printing, and unloading stages into a more continuous sequence, the workflow supports repeatability and more stable throughput.

Built around HP Latex R

The R2000 automation story aligns with the broader HP Latex R platform, combining rigid and flexible media capability with production-focused media handling.
