HP Disrupts Production Printing Market With New Large-Format
PageWide Technology
HP PageWide Technology, Designjet Printers Deliver High-Volume
Quality Prints at High Speeds and Lower Costs
PALO ALTO, CA--(Marketwired - Jun 10, 2014) - HP (NYSE: HPQ)
today announced the scaling of its inkjet-based PageWide Technology
for large-format printing, delivering high-quality prints at faster
speeds and lower costs.
This innovative technology, which consists of more than 200,000
nozzles on a stationary print bar and spans the width of the page,
enables users to produce a variety of black-and-white and color
applications, such as drawings, maps and posters. HP PageWide
Technology will disrupt the $1.3 billion production printing market
currently dominated by monochrome light-emitting diode (LED)
printers.(1)
HP also is expanding its existing large-format portfolio with
new devices and software designed to meet specific business demands
for high-volume, production printing. The new products include:
- The HP Designjet T3500 Production eMultifunction Printer
(eMFP), the most productive large-format color multifunction
printer in its category,(2) ideal for use by enterprises.
- The HP Designjet T7200 Production Printer, a full-color
large-format printer built for central reprographic departments
(CRDs) and reprographic houses with high-volume print demands.
- HP Designjet SmartStream, a software program that streamlines
the complete printing workflow.
These solutions can handle the volume and diverse print needs of
enterprise organizations; CRDs; architectural, engineering,
construction (AEC) and design firms; public sector agencies; quick
printers and small- to medium-sized reprographic houses.
"Our customers are continuously seeking cost-effective and
reliable printing technologies that improve the way they work,"
said Stephen Nigro, senior vice president,
Graphics and Inkjet Solutions Business, HP. "The new large-format
HP PageWide Technology will disrupt the production printing market
by offering customers an affordable option for high-volume quality
prints, transforming an industry that typically prints in
monochrome to now print in color without
compromising speed."
Pioneering inkjet printing: HP leads with technological
advancements For more than 30 years, HP has led the inkjet printing
market by investing in printhead and ink research and development.
Building on the success of its HP PageWide Technology from
industrial production to small business printing, HP will offer
customers dependable and economical operation for high-quality,
large-format printing at high speeds.
With inkjet technologies, the ink vehicle, which carries the
colorant to the surface of the printer, is crucial to the stability
of the ink, the drop ejection process and the overall print result.
The HP PageWide printhead is built with thousands of identical drop
generators that offer uniform volume, speed and trajectory for
precise printing. The technology also regulates the speed and
penetration of Original HP pigment ink to accelerate drying and to
control dot size, feathering and color-to-color bleed for
high-quality prints.
Together with HP Thermal Inkjet Technology and HP pigment inks,
the new HP PageWide Technology for large-format printers reduces
the cost per page and offers the flexibility to use low-cost photo
papers for graphically rich applications. Additionally, the
PageWide platform prints the full page in a single pass for
decreased turnaround time.
Rethink productivity: Large-format solutions designed for
quality, volume, speed The compact 36-inch HP Designjet T3500
Production eMFP requires no warm-up time and features an ultra-fast
processor and a high-productivity scanner with batch-scanning,
multipage PDF creation and scan-to-email capabilities. The device
also allows for unattended and low-cost operation, producing
monochrome prints at the same cost per page as LED MFPs.(3) For
printing jobs requiring high security, it is built with a
self-encrypting hard drive, secure disk erase and controlled access
printing.
The 42-inch HP Designjet T7200 Production Printer is capable of
handling three heavy media rolls. It can produce both color and
black-and-white prints on a wide range of media, from bond to
glossy photo paper, with a low cost of operation comparable to
monochrome LED printers.(3)
The HP Designjet SmartStream software makes print management
more efficient by streamlining workflow for highly demanding print
environments. It offers true PDF management, along with accurate
and error-free prints with the HP Crystal Preview technology. It
also can reduce job preparation time by up to 50 percent on
multipage print jobs.(4)
For IT managers, HP also introduced a new HP Designjet Universal
Print Driver, which allows users to manage their entire HP
Designjet fleet with a standardized single driver. This reduces the
amount of time and cost in testing and deployment -- and in keeping
the software across all HP Designjet printers up to date.
Customers also can increase efficiency with optional hardware
accessories and software tools, such as the new HP Designjet HD Pro
Scanner, stacker and online folder.
