HP PageWide XL print technology

HP claims the new HP PageWide XL Pigment Inks are superior to LED prints, providing dark blacks, vivid colors, and are moisture and fade resistant.

Based on HP Thermal Inkjet technology, the HP PageWide XL printers deliver high ink efficiency and long-life print heads when compared with LED printers.

There are also different types of paper available, including Universal Bond Paper, Production Matte, Glass, and Satin Poster Papers for different types of print jobs.

Based on reliable HP Thermal Inkjet technology and HP PageWide XL pigment ink, HP PageWide Technology offers high quality at high printing speeds. Scalable to meet a wide range of application and performance requirements, HP PageWide Technology provides low cost of operation in both monochrome and color.

The HP XL 8000 Printer includes a stationary 40-inch (101.6-cm) printbar that spans the whole printing width. As paper moves under the printbar, the entire page is printed in one pass, enabling very high printing speeds.

HP PageWide XL pigment ink for HP PageWide XL printers HP PageWide XL pigment ink is specially designed to provide reliable and dependable operation with HP PageWide XL printers and produce high-quality output:

  • Dark blacks and vivid colors, including when using uncoated bond papers
  • Moisture- and fade-resistant prints

Reliable operation for high-volume printing Designed for high-volume operation, the XL 8000 Printer is based on proven HP PageWide Technology, currently powering HP Inkjet Web Presses—producing 4 billion impressions annually—and HP X series business printers. HP 841 PageWide XL Printheads provide reliable and long life operation, with an average life per printhead of 32 liters.

Setting a new quality standard for technical documents HP 841 PageWide XL Printheads, working with HP PageWide XL pigment ink, are designed to produce durable and high quality output with dark blacks and vivid colors.

Accurate and reliable dot placement results in crisp lines, fine detail, and smooth grayscales. HP PageWide XL printers do not apply heat to the paper as part of the printing process, enabling very high levels of length accuracy (±0.1%).
