HP India unveils world's most collaborative Large-format Printer and ePrint & Share technology

Hewlett-Packard, the undisputed leader in the printing and imaging domain in India, unveiled its latest printing solutions for the large-format printers segment today. Continuing its tradition of bringing the latest technology innovations in the market place, HP introduced the world’s most collaborative printer that enables businesses in the architecture, engineering & construction (AEC) industries and enterprises to easily access, share and print large-format project files online anytime, anywhere. The new range of HP Designjet printers enable mobility for customers with HP ePrint & Share technology that allows design professionals to automatically create, print, share and manage project files online using desktop or mobile devices.

The industry’s first web-ready large-format printer with scan, print and copy functionality - the HP Designjet T2300 eMultifunction Printer (eMFP) is designed to match today’s collaborative and mobile work styles. The launch included latest HP Designjet T7100 printer featuring a high-speed monochrome and color printing system available at low ownership cost. HP also unveiled the industry’s fastest production photo printer - HP Designjet Z6200 Photo Printer which is designed for photo labs, digital print shops, advertising agencies, design firms, commercial printers and print service providers.

Talking about the launch, Mr. Puneet Chadha – Director, Graphics Solutions Business, Imaging and Printing Group, Hewlett-Packard India said, “Digital printing content is expected to grow by ten times by 2012 and being the industry leader HP is driving this paradigm shift in India. Today design and architecture segments are burgeoning and are largely fueled by the construction boom in the country; and our future-ready printers are all set to cater to their increasing demands for collaborative and easy printing.” He further added, “With HP’s revolutionary ePrint & Share technology professionals can now focus on building and executing their innovative ideas, rather than managing the burdensome print processes.”

These future ready HP Designjet printers have been designed specifically to help users to collaborate across multiple locations, thus enabling them to simplify the entire printing process and maximize efficiencies. The digital expertise provided by HP’s Designjet portfolio helps professionals in the AEC industries and enterprise businesses that require geographical information: maps printouts, urban development print illustrations or other forms of large format technical drawings along with precision in every print. Moreover, the ePrint-enabled printers allow businesses to access web content from anywhere, anytime wherever business happens. This new system makes it easy to share and manage content with project members around the world.

About HP Designjet’s new printers range

Designjet T7100: Achieve high productivity with significant cost reduction with the HP Designjet T7100 Printer. Designed for central reprographic departments in enterprises and reproduction houses. The printer streamlines print production for customers needing to print in monochrome and colour – from simple CAD drawings to high-quality presentations.

The HP Designjet T7100 Printer is available in monochrome or colour versions.

Designjet Z6200 Photo printer: The new Photo Printer series delivers photo-quality prints with a resolution of 2,400 dots per image (dpi) and versatility for indoor applications from line drawings, geographic information systems (GIS) Maps, photographic output to signage prints.
