HP and HP UK preferred reseller, Perfect Colours staged the UK launch of the new large format HP Designjet 4500mfp digital printer with stacker at HOK Architects on Oxford Street in London.

The HP Designjet 4500mfp features the HP Designjet 4500 printer, which has a print width of up to 1,067mm and outputs a claimed resolution of up to 2,400 dots per inch (dpi) x1,200dpi.

It has two integrated media rolls with long roll support up to 175 metres and ink supplies of up to 400ml for CMY and 775ml for black.

The mfp version also features an embedded RIP for Adobe PostScript Level 3 and Adobe PDF 1.5, and it also supports file formats including TIFF and JPEG and, best of all, as well as having the HP Designjet 4500 scanner to handle large format document scanning and filing.

The HP Designjet 4500 scanner is said to accept originals up to 1,092mm wide and 15.2mm thick.

The scan area of 1,067mm captures wide-format colour and mono images for printing, copying and saving.

It has a 15" lcd touch-screen display with graphical interface and includes a DVD R-W to save scanned documents on DVDs and CDs.

The embedded software allows the user to preview, copy, enlarge, reduce or adjust colours and settings and offers a nesting option to reduce wastage and save costs.

The user can also make enlargements with the panelling option and track output using the integrated accounting features, said Perfect Colours.

New to the HP Designjet range is the HP Designjet 4500 Stacker, which comes as an option to the Designjet 4500 and 4500mfp.

It automatically flattens and stacks up to 200 A1 or A0 size prints and when combined with the printer, can produce a claimed 200 plots, printed and stacked in four hours without any user intervention, added Perfect Colours.

Parvin Ahluwalia, HP's category manager for Designjets, said: "With the launch of the HP Designjet 4500mfp with Stacker we have listened to the needs of the industry and created a system that will undoubtedly save time and money for reprographics businesses.

Judging by the response we've had here over the past two days we are set to take the market by storm." Perfect Colours, based in Kennington Park, London and Yeovil, Somerset, claims to be one of the biggest large format print providers in the UK.

The company specialises in supplying large format printing systems to the CAD and graphics markets.

Jason Burroughs, Perfect Colours' managing director, commented: "As an HP 'perfect partner' specialising in large format printing, we knew the new HP Designjet 4500 MFP and optional stacker would attract huge interest from our client base and we were keen to be the first in the UK to show this amazing new system.

We were delighted to be able to do this at the offices of HOK London and the event was a great success, with orders placed on the day for what will be some of the first UK installations of the HP Designjet 4500.".
