News From the HP Graphics
Leadership Summit
Just prior to Fespa, HP gathered industry journalists
and consultants to its Graphic Arts Experience Center
in the Atlanta suburb of Alpharetta, Georgia. There, the
company not only showcased its 60,000-square-foot
training facility and demo center to The Big Picture and
other members of the press, but also introduced two new
machines: the just-announced HP Latex 3000 printer,
and a sneak preview of the Scitex FB10000 press, which
would make its world debut a week later in London.
The new HP Latex 3000 Printer is capable of
126-in.-wide output (or two 63-in. dual rolls) and
utilizes seven HP 881 Latex printheads (12-pL drops) in
conjunction with HP 881 Latex Inks (CMYKcm). The
881 inks feature a new HP Latex Optimizer component
to suppress feathering and color bleed as well as ensure
efficient curing at lower temperatures and less energy;
they also feature an anti-scratch agent to aid the resultant print in resisting penetration by sharp objects.
Top speed on the new HP Latex 3000 printer is
1950 sq ft/hr in 2-pass Billboard mode (830 sq ft/hr in
6-pass Indoor High-Quality mode); print resolution is
1200 x 1200 dpi max.
HP also announced that it has rebranded its HP
Designjet and Scitex latex printers and supplies.
The new sub-brand for these offerings is HP Latex,
“demonstrating the strategic importance of latex to the
HP Large Format Graphics portfolio,” the company
indicated. The new Latex sub-brand is designed to help
customers more easily identify the best HP Latex solution for their shop size and application needs.
HP Latex Printing Technologies now include: The
HP Latex 260 Printer (formerly the HP Designjet
L26500 Printer); the HP Latex 280 Printer (formerly
the L28500); the HP Latex 820 Printer (formerly

the LX820); the HP Latex 850 Printer (formerly the
LX850); and the HP Latex 3000 Printer. HP Latex inks
and supplies are also being rebranded.
But perhaps the most intriguing news of the event
was that HP was introducing its HP Scitex FB10000
Industrial Press, the company’s new flagship machine
(pictured above). Designed for high-volume print
service providers – particularly those wanting to shift
their retail graphics and corrugated-display applications from analog to digital – the FB10000 offers a top
speed of 6727 sq ft/hr and direct-to-board printing.
Says Stephen Nigro, senior vice president, Graphics Solutions Business, HP: “The HP Scitex FB10000
Industrial Press changes the game, providing a unique
combination of speed, quality, and versatility to costeffectively meet the standards set by offset while taking
advantage of the short runs, personalization, and quick
turnarounds possible with digital.”
The 6-color (CMYKcm) FB10000 features HP’s
High Dynamic Range (HDR) printing technology,
which comprises 16-gray-level printing (for fine gamut
resolution, more directly printable colors, and subtle
shading in images) as well as dynamic dot-size control
(multiple drop volumes: 15-, 30-, and 45-pL). The press
also features new HP HDR240 Scitex Inks – pigmented UV-curable inks designed to achieve excellent
adhesion on a wide media range at high productivity
and comply with ISO proofing standards, HP reports.
The press can accommodate rigid or flexible media
up to 63 x 126 in., up to 1-in. thick. Users can choose
between optional sheet-to-sheet ¾-automatic loading,
semi-automatic, and manual loading and unloading, or
up to 4-sheet simultaneous printing with an optional
multi-sheet loader kit.
