Anyone running an HP Indigo press understands the value, and the expense, of the Binary Ink Developer (BID). It is one of the most important parts of the Indigo system, responsible for the precise ink transfer which makes the process so distinct.
But with that quality comes a trade-off: BIDs need regular replacement to keep print quality consistent. And as ink residue builds and performance fades, replacements pile up, and so do the costs.
Even when BID replacement is wrapped into your click charge, high consumption can still quietly inflate your cost per print. So what if there were a way to cut BID usage by over 80%, improve print quality, and support your sustainability goals – all in one move?
You can, with the Nanovis Bella DC-1300, distributed by Eaglewood Technologies.
Meet the Nanovis Bella DC-1300
The Nanovis Bella DC-1300 is a fully automatic cleaning system designed for HP Indigo parts and accessories, most notably the BID. In lieu of discarding BIDs after a few cycles, the Bella allows operators to clean and reuse them several times over for high print quality and lower replacement frequency.
Using HP Imaging Oil as the cleaning medium, the system removes residual ink and debris from BIDs, ink tanks, and application rollers. The process is contained and repeatable, producing consistent results without the mess or uncertainty of manual cleaning.
How It Works
The Nanovis Bella DC-1300 operates on a closed-loop recycling system that continuously filters and reuses HP Imaging Oil during the cleaning cycle.
That design accomplishes three things at once:
- Cleaner parts – Each BID and roller is flushed and filtered back to production-ready condition.
- Lower waste – The same HP Imaging Oil is reused repeatedly, reducing hazardous waste and disposal costs.
- Consistent performance – Automated cycles remove variation between operators or shifts.
The system is certified by HP and meets international air-filtration and quality standards (EN 779, ISO 16890, ASHRAE 52.2). It is simple to use and maintain and integrates directly into existing Indigo workflows.

Why BID Cleaning Matters
Performance degradation in Indigo printing often starts subtly; you may see slight color variation, faint banding. Contaminated or partially blocked BIDs are frequently to blame.
With the Nanovis Bella DC-1300, each BID can be cleaned and returned to service in a short cycle, maintaining consistent output and extending its usable life. Across multiple presses, that reduction in replacements can add up to tens of thousands of dollars in annual savings, alongside a measurable cut in waste oil and landfill disposal.
