The HP Designjet T3500 Production eMFP features an ultra-fast processor and a high-productivity scanner
HP has 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 colour applications, such as drawings, maps and posters.
The company is also expanding its existing large-format portfolio with new devices and software designed to meet specific business demands for high-volume, production printing, such as the Designjet T3500 Production eMultifunction Printer (eMFP) and the Designjet T7200 Production Printer. Also part of the portfolio is Designjet SmartStream, a software programme that streamlines the complete printing workflow.
According to the company, these products can handle the volume and diverse print needs of enterprise organisations; 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. ‘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 colour without compromising speed.’
The 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 colour-to-colour bleed for high-quality prints.
Together with Thermal Inkjet Technology and HP pigment inks, the new technology can reduce 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.
