HP Inc reinvents Scitex for mid-volume industrial production for sign & display PSPs

A big development on the Scitex front, HP Inc has introduced HP Scitex 9000 industrial printer and HP HDR245 Scitex inks, enabling more sign and display PSPs to capture industrial production speeds at an entry-level investment. Mid-volume PSPs face a gap in the current market, requiring faster production speeds than what entry-level equipment can deliver but at a lower cost of ownership than high-end industrial printers. With the new HP Scitex 9000 and HP HDR245 Scitex inks, HP is expanding its HP Scitex High Dynamic Range (HDR) portfolio, now installed in over 30 countries worldwide, and reinventing the mid-volume industrial category by making high-quality production at speed even more affordable.

The HP Scitex 9000 Industrial Press provides up to 90 beds/hour engine speed. With its manual media handling, productivity is operator dependent and can reach up to 60 beds/hour. Reaching up to a 500,000 sq m/year duty cycle, the HP Scitex 9000 enables customers to print a range of applications, including POPs. New HP HDR245 Scitex Inks offer cost-effective production on flexible as well as rigid and select plastic medias, providing higher-quality at faster speeds. The new, low odour inks enable longer runs with minimal maintenance intervention and can eliminate the need for additional protective overcoats due to their flexibility and surface durability.
