Features Printing Production Inkjet
KBA and HP Update Inkjet Press Development

KBA and HP released more details about their plans to develop what is to be called the HP T1100 Simplex Color Inkjet Web Press. The two companies first announced the technology partnership during last year’s Graph Expo show in Chicago.

When the HP T1100 is released into the market, the companies explain it is to feature a 110-inch (2.8-metre) format width for the pre-printing of corrugated top liner. The press is projected to print at speeds of up to 600 feet (183 metres) per minute and produce up to 300,000 square feet (30,000 square metres) per hour.

At drupa 2008, HP introduced its first Inkjet Web Press, which has now expanded into a portfolio of 10 presses across five web-width platforms.
