New high definition nozzle architecture technology for HP inkjet web presses is claimed to provide print "breakthrough print quality, versatility, reliability and productivity".
According to HP, the new technology doubles the native print resolution of the company's current inkjet printheads from 10,560 to 21,120 nozzles, delivering 2,400 nozzles per inch. It also supports dual drop weight per colour for sharp text, fine lines, accurate skin tones, smooth grey and colour transitions, and enhanced highlight and shadow detail. Built-in nozzle redundancy is said to ensure reliable and consistent printing.
In addition, a new quality mode prints up to 122m/min in colour with dual drop weight for a step function improvement in print quality. Powered by high definition nozzle architecture technology, the maximum print speed enabled will be up to 244m/min, "while still delivering the excellent print quality HP customers depend on".
The new high definition nozzle architecture technology will be incorporated into all HP Inkjet Web Press platforms, and current customers can upgrade to it.
