They are the HP Latex 3500 and 3100 Printers and the HP Scitex 17000 Corrugated Press – designed to help sign and display printers and corrugated converters increase productivity and workflow efficiency. The new HP Latex 3500 Printer handles high-volume, dedicated application production, boosting productivity and helping to reduce production costs. With heavy-duty roll handling up to 660 lbs. and 10-litre ink supplies, the printer enables more unattended operation – such as overnight printing. Dual-roll split spindles offer easier, safer handling of over-sized rolls, inline slitters reduce bottlenecks in finishing, and built-in LED lights support on-the-fly proofing.
The 3100 is ideal for large sign and display printers with a diverse product mix. Printing indoor quality at speeds up to 830 ft2/hr, it can handle peaks in production and deliver on short turnaround times without sacrificing quality. Both the 3100 and 3500 and complementary HP Latex mobile app are expected to be available worldwide starting August 3. A new bright white, FSC-certified HP Premium Poster Paper for use with HP Latex printers will also be available worldwide through licensing partner Brand Management Group (BMG).
The new HP Scitex 17000 Corrugated Press, powered by HP Scitex HDR Printing Technology, helps converters address market demand for shorter runs and faster turnaround times, while increasing digital print productivity for cost-effective corrugated packaging printing. It features the recently introduced HP Scitex Corrugated Grip and HP HDR230 Scitex Inks and prints at speeds of up to 10,764 ft2/hr for economical, high-volume production of industrial-grade corrugated boards. Also, prints made with the HP HDR230 Scitex Inks on a representative coated media have been independently certified as having good de-inkability. The 17000 is expected to be available worldwide starting August 1.
