HP to Launch T250 HD Inkjet Press

摘要

To help capture more of the commercial print work traditionally run on offset litho presses, HP plans to introduce a new version of its popular T240 press. At a press conference recently in San Diego, HP previewed the Page Wide Web Press T250 HD, which will launch in June. First, what hasn't changed: it still runs at 500 color fpm, and can handle up to 62 million letter-size pages per month. It still has a 22" web, and still offers three modes - Performance, Quality, and Performance HDK, which blends the first two. It is completely upgradeable from any of the T200 series Page Wide presses, and will continue to be supported and upgraded as future innovations are released. What has changed - and it's a big one - is the inks. Launching alongside the T250 are the new HP Brilliant inks. The new formulation is specifically designed for commercial markets, with the ability to print directly to both coated and uncoated media without needing an extra step. HP has replaced the primer station that was needed to run multiple stocks on the T240 with a new HP Optimizer that runs in-line with the rest of the printheads.
