The HP Designjet L65500 Printer is the first of a new category of large format signage printers with HP Latex Inks that reduce the impact of printing on the environment. This printer extends HP’s broad portfolio of large, wide, and super-wide format inkjet printers that serves the diverse needs of the creative and printing communities. The printer has generated great interest and demonstrated that HP’s technology is an important part of today’s market.

The HP Designjet L65500 Printer is a thermal inkjet printer that uses odorless HP Latex Inks to produce high quality indoor and outdoor applications on a wide range of substrates, including most low-cost, uncoated, solvent-compatible media. It has no need for special ventilation and produces no hazardous waste in addition to also reducing the total impact on the environment. It also enables wide format printing to be carried out in locations where previously impossible.

The Printheads do not require daily, manual maintenance and are user-replaceable, ensuring maximum production times. The HP Designjet L65500 Printer can print up to 1200 dpi with prints that are scratch, smudge, and water-resistant and offer a performance similar to that of solvent-ink technology. It also expands the range’s supported media to include untreated materials such as offset and screen papers.

Xaar will establish its position as the premier independent supplier of industrial inkjet printheads at Labelexpo Americas from September 9-11 in Chicago. Four leading label specialists are demonstrating innovative systems featuring the Xaar 1001 head, printing high quality color labels. The StorkDSI and the JF Machines Narrow Web Press will soon make their American debut.

In addition EFI is showing the award winning Jetrion 4000, while Nilpeter/FFEI displays the quality of its new CASLON digital print module. These new printers demonstrate the benefits of printing labels digitally in high quality color: cost effective printing of variable data, and short run customization. The EFI Jetrion 4000 UV Inkjet System offers label converters an affordable, full-color narrow web alternative to toner-based digital printers for label runs of up to 50,000 labels.
