HP today announced the new HP Designjet Z3200 Photo Printer, expanding HP’s professional printing portfolio for creative professionals and print service providers (PSPs).
HP are targeting photographers, commercial printers, photo and fine art PSPs, and graphic designers whilst emphasising the print permanence of more than 200 years when printing on their range of printing materials.
“The release of the HP Designjet Z3200 Photo Printer further demonstrates HP’s commitment to fine art printing and the growing markets for high quality art prints,” said Jeremy Brew, Market Development Manager, HP Designjet, South Pacific. “This printer delivers on the high production values expected by professionals working in photography and other creative markets such as limited edition art prints. And its highly accurate proofing capabilities are ideal for commercial printing environments.”
The HP Designjet Z3200 delivers gallery-quality, black-and-white and colour photographs, art enlargements, large-format designs and high-accuracy proofs that stand out and survive the test of time. The Z3200’s12-ink printing system, using HP Vivera pigment inks, features new HP 73 Chromatic Red ink, which enables up to 95 percent Pantone coverage.
Leveraging HP DreamColor technologies and an embedded spectrophotometer, users can achieve accurate colour matching and profiling and easily generate custom ICC profiles in-house to deliver print-to-print and printer-to-printer repeatability across a range of media. An enhanced HP Color Center allows users to manage their paper presets; it simplifies workflows so users can easily access, create and share paper presets; and it enables productive operation and great ink efficiency with automatic servicing routines and optical drop detection to optimize the printer’s performance.
The HP Designjet Z3200 Photo Printer supports more than 50 original HP large-format printing materials, from photographic and digital fine art papers to coated and display-graphic materials.
