? New and improved HP bond papers with ColorPRO Technology and HP Recycled Bond Paper, made of 100 percent recycled base paper.

? An HP carbon footprint calculator utility that has been updated to support HP Designjet large-format printers

"We recognize that digital information is essential to the way our customers work, from developing their ideas and winning bids to interacting with peers and clients," said Santiago Morera, vice president and general manager, HP Designjet. "At HP, we have transformed the way we look at the Design & Graphics industry to bring to market best-in-class products and solutions that enable our customers to collaborate, innovate, and achieve success while simplifying the way they manage and communicate beyond printing."

From winning bids and developing plans to interacting with peers and clients, digital information sharing is essential to the way AEC/GIS/CAD firms operate. A wide range of HP large-format printers and multi-format devices now make it seamless to turn digital designs into documents and to digitize documents back into the design-and-make process again, helping shorten project cycles. HP devices are designed to minimize the number of manual operations and easily integrate into customers' workflow and are 3-D/BIM ready.

Additionally the latest printers from HP offer new features and deliver faster print speeds, a powerful in-printer processing architecture, while also delivering the thinnest lines in the industry with exact detail, crisp text, and clear and accurate drawings, enabling professionals in the architecture, engineering and GIS workgroups to make a real impact in their presentations and projects.

Designed for medium-sized CAD and GIS workgroups, the new HP Designjet T1200 Printer series is like having two printers in one with new features and capabilities that enhance productivity and versatility, such as two online rolls with smart switching media length tracking and high-volume ink cartridges, including the new Original HP 726 Matte Black Ink Cartridge, to offer a continuous printing experience at speeds of two D-sized prints per minute. The double roll technology helps to flexibly manage the changing demands of customers according to the phases of different projects, radically reducing downtime and solving different printing needs.

"The new HP Designjet T1200 would be a great addition to any office. We have sent some of our largest, most problematic drawings to this system and it handles them without issue," said Randall Young, software quality assurance engineer, AutoCAD test development, AutoDesk. "With its multi-roll capability, you can have photo and regular bond papers ready to go at all times. You can also load the paper from the front, saving time and space."

Offering a six-ink printing system with two HP Vivera blacks and a grey ink, this printing system achieves rich, dark blacks and detailed lines to produce highly accurate output that increases technical professionals' ability to communicate.
