HP Inc. has announced the launch of its high-volume production inkjet web press, the HP PageWide Web Press T485 HD with HP Brilliant Ink. .
“We are excited to announce the expansion of our PageWide portfolio with HP Brilliant Ink. This new HP PageWide press offers Print Service Providers brilliant quality while printing at amazing speeds,” said Annette Friskopp, Global Head and General Manager at HP PageWide. “The HP PageWide T485 HD with HP Brilliant Ink was designed to provide offset-class quality and to help increase return on investment for our customers, allowing them to improve their profitability and growth.” .
According to a press release from the company, HP Brilliant ink enables a wider, more vivid color gamut and allows users to print directly to coated and uncoated offset media. This 42-in width press prints up to 800 fpm/244mpm mono and color in Performance mode and offers reliable printing at speeds over 400,000 pages per hour in full color. .
It’s fitted with HP’s High Definition Nozzle Architecture printheads, which are thermal inkjet heads capable of firing two different drop sizes. These particular printheads are the new B62 type that are used on the T250 (unlike the rest of the T400 series, which use the older A53 printheads). These heads have 2400 nozzles per inch and up to 8x nozzle redundancy and are said to be more finely tuned leading to smoother colour transitions. There are five sets of printbars, one each for the Optimiser primer and the CMYK colours. .
The HP PageWide Web Press T485 HD with HP Brilliant Ink is available for sale as an upgrade to existing PageWide T400 series presses and for new orders, with expected product availability in the first half of 2023. .
