HP accelerates productivity of sign makers and corrugated converters

At FESPA 2015, HP proved the way it could help sign makers and corrugated convertors enhance their business or activities using the company’s HP Latex 3500 and 3100 printers, expanding its proven latex technology portfolio, and grew its digital corrugated offering with the HP Scitex 17000. These new solutions help sign and display PSPs and corrugated converters increase productivity and workflow efficiency. These new industrial HP Latex printers are dedicated for diverse application workflows. To remain competitive, high-volume PSPs are constantly challenged to deliver short turnaround times across varied applications, while maintaining top-of-the-line quality. HP is addressing these challenges to better meet the various production needs of sign and display PSPs with the new 3.2-meter (126-inch) HP Latex 3500 and 3100 Printers, which build on the success of its more than 26,000 HP Latex printers installed worldwide.

Ideal for standardized workflows, the new HP Latex 3500 Printer handles high-volume, dedicated application production, boosting productivity and helping to reduce production costs. With heavy-duty roll handling up to 300 kg (660 lbs) and 10 liter ink supplies, the printer enables more unattended operation such as overnight printing. Additionally, dual-roll split spindles offer easier, safer handling of oversized rolls; in-line slitters reduce bottlenecks in finishing; and built-in LED lights support on-the-fly proofing. And the new HP Latex 3000 series is also JDF-enabled, a standard language that allows data to pass between different systems to simplify data exchange and collection, helping PSPs reduce labor costs and increase profitability through automation.
