New HP Designjet printers push creative boundaries, pose new business possibilities
|
| Our new HP Designjet Z Photo Printer series can change the way you think about image reproduction. Whether you're a photographer, a graphic designer or an artist, the Z Series is designed to help you accurately and efficiently share your creative vision with magnificent color and museum-quality results — print after print. |
Now you can easily combine your skills with HP's innovative print technologies to produce 24- to 44-inch projects with color that can resist fading for as long as 200 years.1
At one time, you had to depend on outside suppliers for your high-quality large format projects. With the new HP Designjet Z Photo Printer series, graphics professionals can maintain control of these projects from concept to print — which can save time and money.
Whether you're in the business of printing signage, photographs or fine art, you have a discerning eye. If the color you print is even a little 'off,' it's a print you can't and won't sell, not with your good reputation on the line. You need accurate and repeatable color output — print after print, printer to printer.
But with so many variables in the printing process, it's easy for output to deviate from original colors. Subtle changes may creep in as the print run continues, detracting from the impact of your vision.
That's why the HP Designjet Z Photo Printers incorporates the industry's first embedded spectrophotometer on printing devices of its class. Mounted on the printer carriage, the spectrophotometer intuitively acts like a human eye, measuring the color of each page and making adjustments so color output matches the original, print after print. And it's all done automatically and within milliseconds, like the blink of an eye.
Using Eye-One Color Technology from GretagMacbeth/X-rite, the spectrophotometer helps make color matching simple and accurate throughout the printing process. Regardless of the paper you choose to use, this precision tool enables automatic color calibration and easy ICC profiling, letting you create color profiles in minutes, not hours.
The HP Designjet Z Photo Printers let you produce exquisite color and black and white prints that not only stand out, they stand the test of time. HP 70 Vivera pigment inks, designed specifically for this HP Designjet series, combine outstanding image quality with exceptional fade resistance. In fact, prints can resist fading for as long as 200 years!
With large format printing on HP Designjet Z Photo Printers, you can easily manage output on media that spans up to 24- to 44-inches wide. You can also push beyond the limits of traditional papers, choosing from the widest range of media options on the market. This includes 11 new offerings that round out more than 30 options in the HP media portfolio.
To further increase media choice and flexibility, HP is now working with Hahnemuhle Fine Art — a pioneer in the industry for 400 years — to make Hahnemuhle's entire portfolio of digital fine art media types compatible with HP Designjet Z Photo Printer series. Profiles of Hahnemuhle's 21 fine art papers are available at www.hahnemuhle.com. 
The HP Designjet Z2100 features an eight-ink HP Vivera pigment ink system, including both matte black and photo black inks. It also provides a broad color gamut on matte fine art papers and glossy photo papers for photographic and creative design applications.
The HP Designjet Z3100 uses a 12-ink system, including HP Vivera pigment inks and the HP 70 Gloss Enhancer. HP Quad-Black Inks help you create beautiful black and white prints and achieve truly neutral grays under different lighting conditions.
It also provides you with continuous tones, uniform gloss and rich blacks. The HP Designjet Z3100 is simply stellar for high-quality art reproduction, photography and proofing applications.
Whichever you decide to use, both of these new printers in the HP Designjet Z Photo Printer series deliver museum-quality prints with pop-off-the-paper color to bring your creative visions to life.
