Innovation equals productivity

HP Double Swath Technology guarantees you double the performance in any print mode with its wider print path and higher firing frequency. Together with the revolutionary HP Optical Media Advance Sensor that helps overcome banding issues, you enjoy consistent quality even when printing at top speeds and across different environmental conditions. Moreover, high-capacity 775-ml original HP Ink Cartridges enable high- quality, cost-effective printing with fewer interruptions.

With the HP dual mode take-up reel3 you can now leave your printer unattended—even overnight—while performing continuous production-volume printing with media support up to 575 ft (like the new HP jumbo rolls). The HP dual mode take-up reel3 smoothly collects printed output by winding face-in or face-out printing media onto a reel that allows further finishing.

Get consistent colours when reprinting jobs over time regardless of fluctuating environmental conditions.

If you print a job today and then reprint the same job a week or year from now, or if you print long runs, you want to know for a fact that the different prints are going to have the same colours. You also want to be sure that the colour consistency is not affected when there are changes in temperature or humidity to your work environment. HP provides you with that peace of mind. With the spectrophotometer that is embedded within this printer, you can count on print-to-print colour accuracy and consistency.4
