Abstract

PageWide technology is an inkjet breakthrough that dramatically increases printing speed. The speed increases comes with some integration challenges. All of the ink is laid down in a single pass, so there is heightened sensitivity to missing nozzles, aerodynamics, and ink flux. Media is a key enabler for delivering customer requirements. In the CAD and GIS market, productivity is critical. With speeds up to 10x traditional inkjet, drytime and handleability are risk areas. HP's ColorPro technology enables excellent print quality with high Kod and saturated color, but with less ink. This helps both dry time and cost per copy. In the retail graphics and posters market, large uniform area fills are required, which is a challenge for 1-pass page-wide technology. HP's Production Poster technology has specially developed coating that tunes the dot size to deliver vibrant colors, while helping to hide missing nozzles, eliminating printing defects, and improving handleability. The result is a complete system where the ink, printer and media work together to deliver print quality at speeds not achievable with scanning inkjet technology.
