PREPRESS SPECIALISTS

Produce accurate, consistent, and stable prepress contract proofs

«The HP Designjet Z3100 printer is a major step forward for prepress. It has got a built-in spectrophotometer, which calibrates the machine and brings it into a known state, and, because it's built in, it's error free. This printer is like a color management center.»

Electrosteric Encapsulation Technology

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 a broad color gamut, print permanence, excellent gloss uniformity, and reliable, accurate, and consistent printing.

The HP embedded spectrophotometer with i1 Color Technology from GretagMacbeth is mounted on the printer carriage and revolutionizes professional color workflows by automating media profiling. It allows users to automatically generate custom RGB ICC profiles for their preferred media and provides accurate measurements for printer calibration that delivers print- to-print and printer-to-printer color consistency. Also, with the optional HP Advanced Profiling Solution, you can edit and modify existing profiles and create CMYK profiles.

HP's 12-ink printing system involves six HP 70 Printheads, each printing two colors of ink with 1,056 nozzles per color. The system includes the HP Gloss Enhancer and HP Vivera pigment inks in seven colors and four blacks. 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.

An extensive media portfolio: HP offers a portfolio of 9 photo papers, 10 digital fine art papers, 3 proofing papers, 9 bond and coated papers, and over 30 other HP media. All have been tested with HP 70 Vivera pigment inks to deliver consistent, museum- quality prints that withstand the demands of handling, display and storage expected of professional prints.
