Designjet Technical Series

The new T Series printers from HP replaces the 500/800/1000 series. All new inks with a Matte black for archival line drawing, plus a photo black and colors for imaging & renderings, project schedules, flip charts, presentations, legal displays or production drawings. Print Speeds are FAST—35 seconds for a 24x36 dwgs. on plain paper. Main difference between the 610 and 1100 is the hard drive, 1100 has it, 610 doesn’t. T100 also has the option of Postscript language support for graphics arts, paper layout, proofing and tradeshow graphics. The rendering quality of these new printers is exceptional with perfect grey tones, sharp color and excellent detail. Ink consumption is down 2.5x, so the new 130ml inks are lasting as long as 300ml in previous form. That is due to the new head design from HP which last longer, are more efficient, and produce exceptional quality. Still replaceable when needed, they are slated to last 2-3x longer than the previous version in the 500/800/1000 series printers

• HP Designjet T610 Printer


Professional-quality CAD & GIS prints

• 

Professional CAD and GIS projects with neutral grays, true black and impressive colors.

• 

Produce CAD/GIS projects quickly—fast, efficient printers boost personal productivity.

• 

Rest assured—choose a printer you know you can count on to deliver results you expect.

•  This HP Designjet is tailored to produce exacting detail and precise, accurate line quality. Using the HP Three-black ink set—including a gray HP Vivera ink—the system produces true neutral gray, accentuating the detail in your prints. And with HP’s innovative, printhead design that achieves precise placement of smaller drops, produce pinpoint line accuracy and crisp text. Improved line accuracy to 0.1% and 0.0423 mm minimum line width achieve outstanding horizontal-to-vertical line-width difference.

• HP Vivera inks were designed specifically for the HP Designjet T610 44-in Printer to produce a wide range of vivid colors. With the addition of gray ink, you achieve more accurate color and true neutral gray. So your prints have smooth area fills, more depth, and more subtle contrasts, from the most vivid color to the softest tones.

•  Produce outstanding image quality—including hard-to-achieve tones like a polished chrome look—enabled by the matte black, photo black, and gray HP Vivera inks in the Three-black ink set. These inks produce dark blacks and true neutral grays, even on glossy media, to bring a new level of clarity and professionalism to your work.

HP Designjet Z3100 Review: "Absolutely Brilliant"

HP Designjet Z3100 Review: "Absolutely Brilliant"The trend of glowing reviews for the HP Designjet Z Photo Printer series continues with a Designjet Z3100 review by HP influencer Michael Reichmann. Reichmann posted his review on Luminous-Landscape.com and used a combination of text, screenshots and vodcasts. The overall tone of his review can best be summarized by his introduction, in which he wrote, “It isn't often that a new product comes along which attempts to redefine a product category. And it is less often that such a product emerges fully developed, virtually flawless in its execution and largely fulfilling its promise. Such a product is the new Z series of pigment photographic printers from HP.”

Reichmann went into great depth about the printer, concluding that HP has stolen the number one spot from Epson for large-format, 12-ink printing. The embedded spectrophotometer, Gloss Enhancer and quad inks were the key features that convinced Reichmann that HP was leading the industry.

Below are key quotes from his review:

“And, as for the assembly process, I'm the type of person who finds putting together any type of Ikea furniture to feel like a day spent in the 6th Circle of Hell. So when I say that assembling the Z3100 was a breeze, you can appreciate what I mean.”

“If you've gotten this far in the review, you'll have gathered that I'm mightily impressed with the HP Z3100. The company appears to have really sweated the details and produced what can only be called an absolutely brilliant printer. Truly state of the art. And while the price may appear to be higher than the competition, when you factor in the built-in profiling spectrophotometer, 40GB hard drive and web server, along with 12 inks, 4 simultaneous blacks and a Gloss Enhancer, the value for the money is clearly there.”

“Finally, for those printing on glossy and semi-gloss papers, the Gloss Enhancer in the HP printer is a big plus when compared against the Canon offering. And, let's not even talk about documentation and ease of use. The HP is streets ahead of the Canon in this regard.”

“Intelligent Design in a Big Printer” by Rick LePage of Macworld

Rick LePage of Macworld magazine blogs about his experiences with the HP Designjet Z3100, noting its smart design, intuitive color calibration and beautiful prints. Here are some hot quotes:

  • On printer setup: “HP’s packaging engineers really thought it through…when designing the crate the Z3100 came in. It took me far less time to get the printer out of the box and to my office than it did to pack up the materials for recycling.”
  • On creating ICC profiles: “The process is truly automatic: the Z3100 prints the test charts, keeps the paper within its grip, sucks it back in and the spectrophotometer scans the test patterns.”
  • On image quality: “Nearly all the prints I have made with the Z3100 have been drop-dead gorgeous. With 12 inks, including multiple gray inks for enhanced-range black and white printing and the capability to add papers seamlessly on the fly, the Designjet Z3100 sits very nicely in the competitive landscape alongside Canon and Epson.”

Rick mentions that the images he printed are stunning, and he is especially pleased with the HP Premium Instant-Dry Glossy Photo Paper.
