Key technologies

HP Vivera pigment inks offer outstanding image quality and fade resistance on a wide variety of photo and fine art media, along with water resistance on a range of HP creative and specialty media. HP’s proprietary Electrosteric Encapsulation Technology optimizes the pigment chemistry and ink properties for stability and performance to ensure brilliant colors, outstanding print permanence, and excellent gloss uniformity, for reliable, accurate, and consistent printing.

HP’s 8-ink printing system includes four HP 70 Printheads, each printing two colors of ink with 1,056 nozzles per color. The system features HP Vivera pigment inks in five colors and three blacks. (No black ink swapping or feed line flushing which results in wasted ink.) These inks deliver an exceptionally broad color gamut for photographic and graphics art applications, superb neutral tones, and deep blacks on matte, glossy, semi-gloss, and fine art papers.

HP’s New Electrostatic Drop Detection (NEDD) printhead management system closely monitors all 8,448 print nozzles to minimize cleaning cycles and keep your printer in top working condition. When necessary, these cycles clean only the individual nozzles that require it, in order to minimize ink waste. The result is consistently beautiful and economical professional-quality pigment prints.

The product’s built-in densitometer automatically calibrates printer color with

afactory calibrated sensor. The 4-color LED sensor measures color density and automatically adjusts the printer. You can easily calibrate the printer using the print driver software. This feature allows you to confidently create prints that accurately reflect your monitor and your vision.
