HP Showcases World’s First High-Speed, 30” Digital Color Press

PRESS RELEASE

May 2009

HP has announced developments for its HP Inkjet Web Press platform to help print service providers (PSPs) become more profitable and accelerate their transition from analog to digital printing.

On show at an open house event at Los Angeles-based O’Neil Data Systems–site of the first HP Inkjet Web Press beta installation–the press demonstrates how customers can benefit from market-leading total cost of ownership, excellent productivity and a high level of quality.

Bolstering HP’s efforts to target the $3 billion digital print market opportunity for publishing in 2010, as well as the $13 billion market opportunity for direct mail, transactional and transpromotional printing in 2010, the HP Inkjet Web Press offers:

Addressable printing resolution of 1,200 x 600 dots per inch (dpi) at a full press speed of 400 feet per minute–an industry first for high-volume continuous-feed inkjet production platforms–using the latest generation of HP Thermal Inkjet printheads based on HP Scalable Printing Technology.

Compatibility with a wide range of media types and weights, including uncoated offset stock, newsprint, and treated and coated papers.

Additional information about the productivity and quality advantages offered by the HP Inkjet Web Press are the focus of two new white papers. The white papers, as well as additional details from the open house event at O’Neil Data Systems, are available at http://www.hp.com/go/IHPSopenhouse.
