Key technologies
Electrosteric Encapsulation
Technology
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 a broad color gamut, print permanence,
excellent gloss uniformity, and reliable, accurate, and consistent
printing.
HP's 8-ink printing system is made up of the exclusive
HP Vivera pigment ink formulation technology with HP 70
Printheads, each printing two colors of ink with 1,056
nozzles per color, and the HP Three-Black Ink set. Ensures
exceptional color accuracy and consistency: a valuable
tool for graphic designers and prepress professionals
who need repeatable results. The HP Designjet Z series
are also the first large-format printers to employ HP
Scalable Printing Technology, providing superior
reliability and optimized ink consumption.
The HP embedded spectrophotometer with i1 Color
Technology from GretagMacbeth is mounted on the printer
carriage and revolutionizes professional color workflows by
automating media profiling. It allows users to automatically
generate custom RGB ICC profiles for their preferred media and
provides accurate measurements for printer calibration that
delivers print-to-print and printer-to-printer color consistency.
Also, with the optional HP Advanced Profiling Solution, you can
edit and modify existing profiles and create CMYK profiles.
An extensive media portfolio: HP offers a portfolio of 9
photo papers, 10 digital fine art papers, 3 proofing
papers, 9 bond and coated papers, and over 30 other
HP media. All have been tested with HP 70 Vivera
pigment inks to deliver consistent, museum-quality prints
that withstand the demands of handling, display and
storage expected of professional prints.
• Produce impressive renderings, photo-
realistic prints, maps, satellite images,
