HP Launching Faster PageWide XL Printers
November 20, 2017 By PrintAction Staff
The HP PageWide XL 5100 prints at speeds up to 20 D/A1 pages per minute with 28-second first page out and the HP PageWide XL 6000 at 24 D/A1 size pages per minute with a 25-second first page out. HP Inc. introduced HP PageWide XL printers with up to 70 percent faster output, enabling technical production providers to grow AEC volume and expand business in colour applications. Since the HP PageWide XL printer launch in 2015, more than 5,000 units have shipped, printing approximately three billion square feet (300 million m2) of work.
To be launched this December in Canada and the U.S., the new HP PageWide XL 5100 and HP PageWide XL 6000 printers and multifunction printers are aimed at mid-volume enterprise print rooms, central reprographic departments and reprographic houses.
At speeds up to 24 D/A1-size prints per minute, the series is primarily targeting technical document production for architects and engineers, in addition to geographic information system (GIS) maps and point-of-sale (POS) poster applications.
“The debut of new HP PageWide XL printers is another giant leap on the HP journey to offer continued innovation in large-format printing for the designers of the future,” said Guayente Sanmartín, General Manager and Global Head, HP Large Format Design Printing. “The breakthrough PageWide XL platform with even faster printing speeds will also help our customers move the needle for business with immediate monochrome and colour prints delivered from one unique printer.”
The HP PageWide XL 5100 prints at speeds up to 20 D/A1 pages per minute with 28-second first page out and the HP PageWide XL 6000 at 24 D/A1 size pages per minute with a 25-second first page out. The printers produce what HP describes as crisp lines, 2-point text, smooth grayscales, and vibrant colour. The new systems also feature functionality for the integrated scanners such as smart background removal.
HP is also now offering increased productivity for the HP PageWide XL portfolio with new software. HP SmartStream offers two new modules. Document Organizer lets the user automatically rename large volumes of files using OCR technology, for saving time in job management. Using job pixel coverage, Pixel Analysis provides quotes before printing. HP SmartTracker helps users control printing costs and enable reimbursement.
