DESCRIPTION AND FEATURES 

Benefits

  • They create an improved working environment for printing operators.
  • They require no special ventilation.
  • They are dried inside the printer, allowing for higher productivity.
  • They are not flammable or combustible.
  • They contain no hazardous air pollutants.
  • They meet chemical requirements for printing companies.
  • They produce odourless, bright, strong and lasting prints.
  • They provide many of the benefits of solvent-ink technology without imposing environmental, health and safety restrictions.
  • They allow for borderless printing.
  • They use safe, environmentally-friendly water-based inks.


ECO HIGHLIGHTS

Eco Benefits

  • The new innovative HP latex inks. These water-based inks provide many of the benefits of solvent-ink technology without health and safety hazards and they are environmentally friendly. Prints produced with HP latex inks are odourless and emit extremely low levels of volatile organic compounds. They require no special ventilation.
  • In compliance with several leading industry certifications (including Nordic Swan), HP latex inks do not produce emissions that damage the ozone layer during printing and contain no air pollutants.
  • HP Latex Inks produce odourless prints, providing the best of both worlds. Prints are durable enough for demanding applications such as outdoor display but they lack the noticeable odour that can limit indoor applications, a characteristic more typical of prints produced with solvent-ink technology.

 

MATERIAL SPECIFICATIONS

Performance and finishing

  • HP Latex Inks together with HP Wide Scan Printheads produce a wide colour gamut, comparable to solvent-ink technology, for sharp, vivid image quality. The HP Wide Scan Printhead design also makes it possible to produce high-quality output at fast print speeds, supporting an ink drop size as small as 12 picolitres. (A picolitre is one billionth of a litre, that is, 10-12 litres).
  • HP latex inks achieve the optimum in high-quality, consistent performance on HP large-format media, designed together to work better with HP latex inks. The variety of HP media includes both outdoor and indoor applications and ranges from low-cost, uncoated media to a variety of specialty options. HP large-format media also includes a range of recyclable substrates.
  • A proprietary new HP media surface-treatment technology, designed together with HP Latex Inks, produces a wide colour gamut. This makes it possible to achieve both durability and sharp, vivid image quality on materials that don’t typically print well with solvent inks, such as woven high density polyethylene and Tyvek.
  • HP Wide Scan Printheads support a firing frequency of up to 24 KHz. Each HP Wide Scan Printhead contains two colours of ink and 1,200 nozzles per inch or 10,560 nozzles per printhead. For the precise, accurate placement of ink on the page at high-productivity print speeds.
  • Unlike printing systems that use solvent-based inks, HP printing systems use water- based HP latex inks.
  • HP Latex Inks are completely cured inside the printer to form a durable film on the print medium. Prints come out of the printer ready to use, finish and prepare for shipment.
  • Proprietary HP Optical Media Advance Sensor OMAS offers accurate motion control of media advance between print swaths. Improved accuracy minimizes or eliminates banding for high-speed, quality printing.
  • Products certified by ECOLOGO. Environmental Certificate based on life cycles stating that a product meets the highest standards of environmental performance to reduce environmental impact.

 

WARRANTIES

Warranties and certificates

  • HP PVC-free wallpaper printed with HP latex inks meets the AgB B evaluation criteria related to health and VOC emissions for indoor building products.
  • Prints produced with HP latex inks for indoor use get a showcase display permanence of up to five years when not laminated, and of up to 10 years when laminated on several different media.
  • HP latex inks are not classified as hazardous material when being shipped, they have no hazard warning label and are not considered hazardous waste. These inks are not flammable or combustible.
  • To obtain US LEED credits based on FSC® certification, builders must purchase HP PVC-free wallpaper printed with HP latex inks from an FSC® Chain of Custody certified print service provider. This is required to obtain LEED credits based on GREENGUARD Children & Schools Certification.
  • HP PVC-free wallpaper printed with HP latex inks is certified by GREENGUARD Children & Schools.
  • They are designed to reduce the impact of printing on the environment. The innovative design of the ink cartridge uses a cardboard container and reduces the use of materials.
  • Products certified by ECOLOGO. Environmental Certificate based on life cycles stating that a product meets the highest standards of environmental performance to reduce environmental impact.
