Key technologies
HP Vivera pigment inks offer outstanding
image quality and fade resistance on a wide
variety of photo and fine art media, along with
water resistance on a range of HP creative and
specialty media. HP’s proprietary Electrosteric
Encapsulation Technology optimizes the
pigment chemistry and ink properties for
stability and performance to ensure brilliant
colors, outstanding print permanence, and
excellent gloss uniformity, for reliable,
accurate, and consistent printing.
HP’s New Electrostatic Drop Detection
(NEDD) printhead management system
closely monitors all 8,448 print nozzles to
minimize cleaning cycles and keep your
printer in top working condition. When
necessary, these cycles clean only the
individual nozzles that require it, in order
to minimize ink waste. The result is
consistently beautiful and economical
professional-quality pigment prints.
HP’s 8-ink printing system includes four HP 70
Printheads, each printing two colors of ink with
1,056 nozzles per color. The system features
HP Vivera pigment inks in five colors and three
blacks. (No black ink swapping or feed line
flushing which results in wasted ink.) These inks
deliver an exceptionally broad color gamut for
photographic and graphics art applications,
superb neutral tones, and deep blacks on
matte, glossy, semi-gloss, and fine art papers.
The product’s built-in densitometer
automatically calibrates printer color with
a factory calibrated sensor. The 4-color
LED sensor measures color density and
automatically adjusts the printer. You can
easily calibrate the printer using the print
driver software. This feature allows you to
confidently create prints that accurately
reflect your monitor and your vision.
