HP inkjet web users will have an expanded range of applications to offer with its new nozzle architecture.
HP has developed new high definition nozzle architecture technology for HP inkjet web presses, which according to the company will double the native print resolution of current HP inkjet printheads.
The new printheads take the number of nozzles from 10,560 to 21,120, delivering 2400 nozzles per inch, and supports dual drop weight per colour for sharp text, fine lines, accurate skin tones, smooth grey and colour transitions, and enhanced highlight and shadow detail.
The company will also offer a new quality mode, which prints up to 122 metres per minute in colour with dual drop weight for a step function improvement in print quality.
The maximum print speed enabled will be up to 244 metres per minute, while still delivering the excellent print quality HP customers depend on today.
‘High definition nozzle architecture technology enables our HP inkjet web press customers to address a broader range of applications from general commercial printing to production mail to publishing by resetting the bar for inkjet quality and performance,’ said Aurelio Maruggi, vice president and general manager, Inkjet High-speed Production Solutions.
‘HP is committed to continuous investments in inkjet technology across a broad portfolio of products, driving unparalleled economies of scale, and providing upgradable solutions so that existing and future customers can take advantage of advancements.’
High Definition Nozzle Architecture technology will be incorporated into all HP Inkjet Web Press platforms, including the HP T200, T300 and T400 Inkjet Web Press families and those sold through resellers and current customers can upgrade to the new technology.
