At West 2011, an event co-sponsored by The Armed Forces
Communications and Electronics Association and the US Naval Institute,
HP demonstrated its expanded portfolio of HP Latex Printing Technologies
designed to broaden production capabilities for public sector customers
with ease while reducing their environmental impact.
On display in booth #609, the HP Designjet L25500 Printer delivers
easy, low-maintenance printing of a wider range of applications—from
indoor point-of-purchase displays, exhibition graphics and interior
décor to outdoor banners, bus shelters and vehicle wraps—than is
possible with eco-solvent or traditional water-based printing alone.
Since introduction, the HP Designjet L25500 Printer and HP Latex
portfolio have seen tremendous market acceptance with more than 3,000
latex ink printing systems shipped, producing more than 100 million
square feet of materials.
"Combining versatility and durability with the ability to lower the
impact of printing on the environment, the HP Designjet L25500 Printer
is truly a unique large-format printing option for public sector
customers," said Jan Riecher, vice president and general manager,
Americas Graphics Solutions, HP. "This proven HP Latex ink device is
easy to use for indoor or outdoor signage, durable maps and even
PVC-free wallpaper, all at a remarkably low cost per page."
Available in 42- and 60-inch models, the HP Designjet L25500 Printer
delivers unrivaled versatility(1)for a broad range of high-quality and
flexible, outdoor and indoor applications and durability comparable to
eco-solvent inks while meeting the needs of environmentally conscious
customers.
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 public sector office environments, entry-level sign
shops, photo labs and digital printers thanks to unattended printing
with no daily printhead maintenance required, user-replaceable
printheads and an embedded spectrophotometer for accurate and consistent
color across prints and between printers.
Designed to reduce the impact of printing on the environment, HP
Latex Inks produce odorless prints that allow placement in
point-of-purchase environments where odor is a concern. HP Latex Inks
are non-flammable and non-combustible, do not require hazard warning
labels, and contain no hazardous air pollutants (HAPs). Additionally, no
special ventilation equipment or external dryer is required and the HP
Designjet L25500 Printer features the ENERGY STAR rating, which
demonstrates compliance with strict energy-efficiency guidelines.
To complement the Latex Ink portfolio, HP offers a variety of
Original HP printing materials, including several recyclable and
polyvinyl chloride (PVC)-free substrates as well as the HP Large-format
Media take-back program. This program allows customers to easily return
and recycle prints produced with HP Latex Inks on HP recyclable media
and Original HP 789 Latex Designjet Ink Cartridges and Printheads for
free. Customers simply pack up the used media and HP pays the shipping
charges and handles sorting and recycling.
