Today (15th May 2018) at Dscoop Asia-Pacific 2018, HP Inc. unveiled the HP Latex R2000 Printer, the first Latex hybrid solution for rigid and flexible sign and display printing in one device.
HP announced its new Rigid Technology at the ISA Sign Expo in March, highlighting how customers will now be able to expand their offering into new, high-value applications while also opening fresh creative ideas and concepts for sign and display.
The first printer in the R Series is the game-changing HP Latex R2000 Printer, which today made its Asia Pacific and Japan debut at Dscoop Asia held in Seoul.
“Anyone who tracks this industry knows today is a major milestone in printing as we unveil the HP Latex R2000 Printer,” said Michael Boyle, Vice President & General Manager, Graphics Solutions Business, Asia Pacific and Japan, HP Inc. “HP developed this breakthrough technology based on print service providers (PSPs) continued request for an HP Latex printer to print on both rigid and flexible materials using our water-based inks.
