HP Inc. (Palo Alto, CA) has announced an updated portfolio of HP Latex R Series printers with new features to make it easier for print service providers (PSPs) to benefit from HP Latex printing on a hybrid-printing platform, including achieving high image quality on a range of rigid and flexible materials using HP’s water-based Latex Inks. The new portfolio introduces the new entry-level HP Latex R1000 model.
Per the company, the HP Latex R Series brings vibrant colors into the rigid printing world along with HP’s innovative White Latex Ink, a glossy, high-quality true white that doesn’t yellow over time like traditional UV-based white ink.
Additionally, the new R Series printers now enable customers to benefit from higher productivity and efficiency. Software productivity advancements include expanded queue management capability and automated updates. More efficient multi-sheet media loading and handling will help significantly boost output. These upgrades will be available to existing R Series printer customers.
The new R series will also boost the capability of PSPs to grow applications such as custom short-run packaging, POP corrugated displays, and printed thermoforming, benefitting from fine details and saturated color image quality on cardboard stock and amazing HP Latex ink elongation capabilities when producing thermoformed printer parts.
The new portfolio of R Series Printers includes the following:
- HP Latex R2000 Plus Printer for highest capacity and productivity, feeding materials in roll-fed or sheet-fed configuration up to 98-in. wide, printing with high-capacity 5 liter-cartridges and white ink printing capability.
