HP announces secure AI solutions for large-format printing

HP has announced its secure AI solutions—Print AI. This newly introduced HP Print AI’s features make printing frictionless by eliminating common challenges from printer set-up to support. The first feature, Perfect Output, ensures prints look perfect every time and is available via an exclusive beta programme. HP Print AI is the industry’s first intelligent print experiences for home, office, and large-format printing. Perfect Output bridges the gaps between what people see on the screen and what they intend to print, reformatting and reorganising content to fit perfectly on the page the first time. Perfect Output can detect unwanted content like ads and web text, printing only the desired text and images, saving time, paper and ink.

More than half of print jobs come from web browsers (Print Telemetry Data from Microsoft), including online articles, travel documents, recipes and how-to guides. However, printing from the web has traditionally yielded unnecessary white space, issues with image size, and inclusion of unwanted web ads. Consumers printing from web browsers have understandably felt frustrated, rating the experience with ‘strong dissatisfaction’ (–62 Net Promoter Score (NPS) for strong dissatisfaction). Spreadsheets are another common print job, and more than half of spreadsheet users report experiencing challenges to make documents print out correctly (HP Research: Excel AI Print Add-In, July 2024). Perfect Output proactively creates a printable spreadsheet without splitting tables and charts across pages.
