Latex solutions mould to market demands
HP has expanded its latex printing technology portfolio with new products designed to help users in digital print and sign shops, as well as copy shops and photo labs, reduce their environmental impact. The HP Designjet L25500 printer provides a cost effective alternative to eco-solvent printing for a range of applications from indoor point-of-purchase displays, to outdoor banners and vehicle wraps.
Available in 42 and 60in models, the L25500 is said to deliver prints with quality and durability comparable to eco-solvent ink with a wider range of applications than is possible with eco-solvent or traditional water-based printing alone.
The ease of use afforded by water-based HP latex inks and HP 789 Designjet printheads enables an easy transition into large-format or outdoor printing for entry-level sign shops, photo labs and digital printers thanks to unattended printing with no daily, manual printhead maintenance required, user-replaceable printheads and an embedded spectrophotometer for consistent colour across prints and between printers.
In addition to the printer itself, HP has also launched six Original HP printing materials compatible with HP latex ink printers, including two recyclable substrates and three polyvinyl chloride (PVC)-free alternatives.
Finally, HP has expanded its Planet Partners program to include a large-format media take-back program in select countries in Europe. This will enable customers to return and recycle prints produced with HP latex inks on HP recyclable media as well as ink cartridges and printheads at no additional cost.
