Launched by HP, this printer offers businesses incredible versatility, speed, and precision, making it an essential tool for print service providers looking to enhance their productivity and expand their service offerings.

One of the standout features of the HP Scitex FB700 is its print quality. Equipped with HP's proprietary UV inks, the printer delivers vibrant colors, sharp images, and excellent durability. These inks are designed for a wide range of substrates, making it possible to print on materials such as rigid boards, flexible media, and even specialty applications like textiles. The FB700 supports a maximum print resolution of 1200 dpi, ensuring that every detail is faithfully rendered.

A key technology in the FB700 is its UV curing capability.

This includes automated calibration and quality control systems that help maintain consistent print quality while reducing the likelihood of errors. The printer is also designed with ease of maintenance in mind, allowing operators to focus on production rather than troubleshooting.

Capable of producing prints up to 95 m² per hour, this printer is suited for high-volume jobs, enabling businesses to take on larger projects without sacrificing quality. Its robust design ensures reliability and efficiency, making it ideal for busy print environments.

Lastly, sustainability is an important consideration within the printing industry, and the HP Scitex FB700 addresses this concern by utilizing low-VOC inks and energy-efficient components.
