In a joint effort to humanize the paediatric hospital experience, HP has collaborated with Hospital Germans Trias and Nixi for Children in Barcelona, Spain, to transform the paediatric preoperative area of the health centre. The aim is to reduce the anxiety experienced by children and their families before a surgical procedure through technology, emotional design, and innovation. Thanks to HP Latex printing technology, large-format illustrated vinyl graphics have been created and installed in the preoperative waiting room and the hallway leading to the operating room, transforming a clinical environment into a space full of light and colour—more welcoming and comforting for young patients. These illustrations turn the surgical waiting room into a place where children can feel calmer and accompanied.
The vinyl graphics were printed with the HP Latex 2700 W printer, using our latest generation of HP Latex inks, which are water-based. This guarantees printing on safe, odorless materials with low emissions of volatile organic compounds, meeting the highest healthcare standards. These features make them ideal for use in hospitals and other sensitive environments. In this collaboration, HP provided the inks, substrates, and installation, reaffirming its commitment to social responsibility and the humanization of healthcare spaces. Printing was carried out by ALIUM, an HP customer equipped with fourth-generation HP Latex printers.
