HP has introduced new DesignJet and PageWide XL Pro printers that use water-based pigmented inks and offer advanced photo and colour quality, enhanced precision, sustainability improvements, and new application possibilities.
Commercially available from 1 October are the HP DesignJet Z6 Pro and Z9+ Pro, which can be used to produce professional photo quality prints and high precision colourful Geographic Information System (GIS) generated maps.
Marking the 30-year anniversary of the first DesignJet product, the new machines will replace the existing DesignJet Z68 family of printers.
They use chromatic RGB HP Vivid Photo Inks, which according to the manufacturer enable users to achieve 93% pantone coverage – 26% more gamut compared to the previous generation, while prints with the image quality of a 12-ink printer can be produced with nine inks.
Additional features include the High Definition Nozzle Architecture (HDNA) printheads and dual drop technology, which reduces visible grain and eliminates the need for light coloured inks. read the rest here
