The eight-ink Designjet Z6100 printer series is also said to enable digital print shops and sign makers, as well as GIS and CAD personnel, to increase print capacity, reduce turn-around times and offer new, printing applications to customers and clients, whilst providing predictable, consistent colour.
HP added that the printer provides an attractive combination of speed, image quality and colour consistency fand is suitable for all indoor large-format printing applications, from photographs and fine art prints to maps and renders.
Available in 1,067mm and 1,524mm models, the Designjet Z6100 shortens response time for the fast-paced PSP environment and handles large volumes, producing output at a claimed 100 square metres per hour.
In addition, new HP Double Swath technology is claimed to create a wider print swath of up to 46mm and what is claimed to be the first optical media advance sensor, which improves paper advancement control, so the printer can print at higher speeds and across environmental conditions.
The Art Group, an art publisher, requires a fleet of fast, colour-accurate large-format printers for its on-demand printing business, said HP.
Peter Moger, a director of The Art Group, said: "Our world-renowned museum clients demand exceptional image quality and colour.
In our business, we must replicate outstanding museum-quality output from any of our printers at any location around the world.
The Designjet Z6100 printer series enables us to get consistent results with remarkable speed regardless of location, time and environments." In addition, the Designjet Z6100 features eight HP Vivera pigment inks delivering what are claimed to be vivid, water-resistant, fade-resistant prints.
Prints produced on a range of HP media are said to resist fading for over one year un-laminated and over three years laminated when displayed in or near a window.
In interior display conditions away from direct sunlight, prints resist fading for over 200 years, claimed HP.
HP has also announced the addition of two new substrates to its portfolio for the Designjet Z6100.
Premium Vivid Colour Backlit Film is a new micro-porous coated media designed for backlit applications and Self-adhesive Gloss Polypropylene is a film suitable for creating vibrant, photo-realistic images for store displays, banners and posters, said HP.
In addition, the Designjet Z6100's longer roll support (up to 175m) and high-capacity 775ml original HP ink cartridges are said to provide an economical, time-saving approach to long print runs.
HP has also introduced new jumbo rolls for its Universal Inkjet Bond Paper and Universal Instant-dry gloss and semi-gloss photo papers, allowing for overnight unattended printing with the Designjet Z6100 printer series and HP Vivera pigment inks.
Santi Morera, vice president and general manager of HP EMEA graphic arts, said: "HP is continuously looking for ways to reinvigorate the printing market and excite customers with new printing possibilities.
The Designjet Z6100 printer series is not only the PSP, GIS and AEC market's new system for fast and high quality large-format printing needs but also another step in delivering on our promise to enable customers to do more with a broad portfolio of intuitive, scalable systems.".
