Sign and Display Solutions
HP (Booth 420) will exhibit its large-format sign and display solutions and debut its newest Latex solutions for the first time in the US. The 104-inch HP Designjet L28500 Printer delivers speeds up to 70 percent faster than its predecessor, while the 61-inch HP Designjet L26500 Printer addresses a variety of applications, including soft-signage. Both systems feature the new HP 792 Latex Designjet Inks, providing a consistent performance across substrates with better durability than eco-solvent inks. Ideal for high-impact point-of-purchase displays, soft signage, bus shelters and vehicle graphics, the new devices produce 1,200-dpi output for high-quality, long-lasting prints. The output also dries inside the printer, boosting productivity for double-sided print jobs and allowing immediate finishing or use.
HP will also showcase its newest UV-curable solutions, including the HP Scitex FB7600 Industrial Press with new HP FB225 Scitex Inks offering workflow improvements for increased productivity and versatility. For the high-volume market, HP will display the 16.6-foot HP Scitex XP5500 and 10.5-foot HP Scitex XP2500 Industrial Printers, printing at industry-leading speeds.
