HP Double Swath technology = high speed

1 February 2005

HP has announced the local availability of the new HP Designjet 4000 Printer series. The new printer series extends the HP Designjet portfolio of office and technical printers and is ideal for line drawings, graphics, maps, renderings, and presentations.
New technology within the writing system allows the printer to double the print speeds of both colour and monochrome documents, when compared with current HP large format printers. The new printer delivers fast printouts in A1/D size in 25 seconds and can complete a print job of 100 A1/D formats within one hour. The HP Designjet 4000 Printer series has been designed to meet the needs of the architecture, engineering, construction, MCAD and GIS markets, which require accurate lines, professional image quality and fast, unattended printing.
New technology behind the double speed HP Double Swath technology doubles the number of printhead nozzles by placing them in a staggered formation. This staggering allows the printer to extend the actual print path, resulting in a faster print output making the printer ideal for users with tight deadlines. "The HP Designjet 4000 is a technological breakthrough in speed, colour and printer management. We understand the technical markets and have designed our new printer to meet the needs of these users," says Dave Connock, large format printing product manager, Imaging and Printing Group, HP South Africa.
High image quality
As result of enhancements to the writing system and HP professional colour technologies, the HP Designjet 4000 Printer series offers high quality printouts with predictable colours. The printer provides a high resolution up to 2400 dpi and up to ±0,1% line accuracy. This is perfect for users who need precise designs, plans and line drawings. To achieve excellent colour consistency and screen-to-print matching the printer offers a set of HP Professional Color technologies, including Closed Loop Color (CLC), Pantone calibration, offset emulation, HP CMYK Plus, K Point compensation, sRGB, AdobeRGB, and TIFF and JPEG with embedded ICC profiles
Save time and money
The HP Designjet 4000 Printer series provides lower running cost and easy remote print management capabilities. A faster processing speed significantly improves performance and eliminates waiting time for the print job to be completed. Remote job preview and printer status and alerts give information on supplies levels and allows for unattended printing. The new HP No. 90 ink cartridges have been designed to work specifically with the HP Designjet 4000. The HP No. 90 ink cartridges are available in three different colours and black, each in two different sizes, with value pack and multipack options, to provide users with lower running cost options.
