HP Designjet T1100- and T610-series printers provide outstanding productivity and image quality with powerful in-printer, hardware-based image processing that minimizes workstation computational load and network traffic to deliver dependable printing results.
Productivity and Image Quality
On plain paper, HP Designjet T1100- and T610-series printers can produce a single A1/D-size color line drawing in 35 seconds (Economode) and up to 52 prints per hour.1
HP Designjet T1100- and T610-series printers deliver significantly higher image quality and at higher productivity compared to the HP Designjet 800- and 1000-series. This is clearly seen in the Productivity-Image Quality charts2 in Figure 1, where faster mechanical printing times are shown from left to right.
Figure 1. Relative Image Quality and Print Time: HP Designjet 800-, 1000-, and T1100-series printers
On plain paper, image quality in Fast mode on HP Designjet T1100- and T610-series printers was ranked above all print modes on the 800- and 1000-series. Not only do HP Designjet T1100- and T610-series printers have higher productivity than 800- and 1000-series Designjets, but they deliver improved print quality as well. This is possible with a new writing system that has higher media advance accuracy, better drop placement accuracy, and smaller drop volumes.
HP Designjet T1100- and T610-series printers produce very fine, sharp black lines3 with 0.1% line length accuracy4. With the capability for color emulation of HP Designjet 500-, 800-, and 1000- series printers, HP Designjet T1100- and T610-series printers offer color consistency when printing from popular applications like AutoCAD™ along with significantly higher levels of productivity and quality.
In-printer Processing Architecture
HP Designjet T1100- and T610-series printers use an ASIC5 to perform fast, hardware-based color processing, pixel scaling, and halftoning in the printer. The ASIC is a fully-custom design with architecture and firmware developed by HP. It can process up to 50 million pixels per second and can transfer up to 50 GB of data per second over its two 32-bit data busses.
