Hp Latex Printer produces durable, flexible prints that don’t smell,5 making them ideal for indoor applications. Print on a variety of substrates and make faster time to delivery
Hp Latex Printer can print on a variety of substrates, from sheets and rigid boards to banners and even textiles. In addition, the machine can handle white ink, allowing you to expand your service offering and create new revenue streams. The key to the versatility of the Hp Latex Printer is its advanced printing technology, which includes HP Adaptive Substrate Imaging (ASPI) and ColorPRO technology.
AASPI uses image analysis and intelligent algorithms to detect the characteristics of the substrate. This data is then used to adjust the printing parameters to produce a high-quality print. As a result, you can print on a wide range of materials with consistent quality and without the need for manual adjustments.
In addition, the printer has a large range of inks that can be combined to achieve different results. This allows you to customize your production process to suit a specific project or customer, and it also helps to ensure that colors match across multiple panels, enabling you to complete jobs such as fleet graphics or wall coverings.
Before you can begin printing, it is important to ensure that the substrate is loaded correctly. Make sure that the roll is tightly wound and attached evenly, or you could experience problems with printhead crashes and ink smearing. If you are using edge holders, be sure that they are installed correctly, as this can prevent the substrate from catching on the carriage beam and lifting up while printing.
Once you have loaded the substrate, you need to choose whether the print is intended for front- or back-lit use. This affects the amount of ink that is deposited onto the substrate and the curing temperature. In general, you should choose a lower number of passes for front-lit prints and a higher ink density for back-lit prints to avoid color shifts or wrinkles.
Once you have created a custom substrate preset, you can edit it by selecting it from the list and choosing Edit. This will open the Substrate Preset Editor window, which allows you to change all of the key settings for the substrate. You can also name the combination to make it visible in the Print dialog, and you can click Update Print Mode to save your changes.
Create amazing signage
Whether your clients need indoor or outdoor signage, display graphics, textiles, or vehicle wraps, HP Latex offers superior image quality and versatility. And since the printing process itself is sustainable, it enables you to produce more jobs with fewer resources.
With HP Latex, you can print on a wide range of traditional and non-traditional substrates. This versatility enables you to expand your offering and work with new clients. Plus, the prints are ready to go when they come out of the printer, eliminating the need for drying and curing times that can lead to bottlenecks in production.
The water-based HP Latex inks help reduce the need for chemical solvents. This makes it safer for your workers to use in a confined space and helps you meet eco-sensitive project requirements. Additionally, the inks do not emit harmful VOCs and are odorless. Moreover, they also deliver prints that are durable and scratch-resistant, making them perfect for long-term indoor displays.
Another benefit of using an HP Latex printer is the high-resolution prints it produces. With a maximum resolution of 1440 dpi, you can get vivid colours and details in your prints. Additionally, the inks are formulated to ensure that your prints remain vibrant even after extended exposure to sunlight.
As a result, the images you create with your HP Latex Printer will help you stand out from competitors and impress your clients. They will have more confidence in your brand if they know their signage is durable and looks professional.
HP Latex printers offer several other benefits that make them an ideal option for businesses that are looking to upgrade from previous eco-solvent models. For example, HP Latex technology has lower curing temperatures and a wider media compatibility than its predecessors. In addition, the printers can print on heat-sensitive substrates and provide a white ink option.
The HP Latex R2000 Hybrid Flatbed Printer is an excellent choice for those looking to invest in a large-format printer. It is easy to operate and offers a reliable performance. It prints banners and point-of-purchase displays at speeds up to 23m2/h in indoor quality (8 passes) and outdoor-quality (4-pass 4-color). In addition, it provides a spectrophotometer for accurate colour management and is a good choice for achieving CMYK and RGB output. The printer can handle a variety of materials, including paper, vinyl, and fabric. It also delivers a high-resolution finish and is durable, scratch-resistant, and odorless. Its water-based inks also make it safe for a wide variety of indoor applications.
Offer brand color consistency across rigid and flexible
Using the same printheads and ink technology as the company’s popular roll-to-roll HP Latex R2000 series, the new hybrid printer takes these technologies into a rigid-board printing arena for the first time. It aims at mid-volume markets currently served by UV-cured flatbed and hybrid systems. A key differentiator is the addition of white ink.
This allows for the creation of backlit graphics and offers brand consistency across rigid and flexible substrates. It’s an important step in offering more complete solutions to clients that can take their products to the next level. The white ink can be used to reduce costs by allowing the print to be laminated without the cost of a full color print. It also eliminates the need for a curing process that would otherwise require heat to set the inks.
Another way to improve the overall quality of a rigid and flexible production is by ensuring that the printing system is properly calibrated for each type of media. This is accomplished by printing a calibration test pattern and comparing it to the original file that is being printed. The resulting calibration data is used to correct the output for a specific type of media. This results in a more accurate match between the original file and the print.
The HP Latex printer is equipped with a wide range of media types including rigid and flexible, indoor and outdoor. The printheads deliver high saturation colors with 10-picoliter ink drops, while the PrintOS software enables quick processing of multi-copy jobs and reprints with minimal downtime. The printer is also equipped with a variety of automated features such as auto-skewing, media tracking and prepress QC.
The innovative water-based HP Latex inks are safer than traditional solvent or UV cured inks. They don’t contain phthalates or formaldehydes and have no HAPs, so they do not require the use of hazardous warning labels. They also have outstanding scratch resistance and adhesion so you can assemble, cut and laminate signs with confidence. The HP Latex white ink delivers the glossiest whites, ideal for transparent and coloured applications.
