Own an HP Latex 560 or HP Latex 570 Printer? HP recently released the new HP Latex 700 and 800 Printer Series – marking a leap up in quality and capability. To understand whether it is good to upgrade your HP Latex printer, you need to know what the upgraded machines can do.
5 Reasons to Upgrade to the New HP 700 and 800 Printers
Here are ways in which the HP Latex 700 and 800 Printers Series better empower your operations:
1. Raw machine speed
The HP Latex 800 Printers represent significant improvements over the 500 Series in machine speed. In Indoor Quality mode, print as fast as 269 square feet per hour (25 square meters per hour) with the 800 or 800W. Compare that to a max speed of 248 square feet per hour (23 square meters per hour) with the HP Latex 560 or HP Latex 570.
2. More efficient cartridge capacity
The cartridges of the HP Latex 560 Printer are only 775 milliliters (775ml). Either the 700 Series, with its one liter (1L) cartridges, or the 800 Series, with its 3L ones, would be a significant upgrade in efficiency.
3. Better overall quality
Of course, you want to have the latest, most cutting-edge technology that outperforms yesterday’s technology. The ink droplets are more advanced with the HP Latex 700 and 800 Printer Series than with the 500 Series. The printheads use an improved design as well. Image quality has been improved with the newer devices due to the increasing sophistication of RIP. RP is HP software that allows you to choose how you want to prioritize speed vs. quality (higher quality with lower speed or lower speed with higher quality).
4. Broader applications
The more versatile toolset of the HP Latex 700 and 800 Printer Series allows you to do more. The upgraded model means broader applications, extending to signage, interior décor, wall coverings, window graphics, and vehicle wraps.
5. White ink
A major advantage of the HP Latex 700 and 800 Printer Series over the 500 Printer Series is the possibility to access white ink. Beyond the standard color set, which is already extraordinary ink, the HP Latex 700W and HP Latex 800W offer white ink
Why White Ink Is Such A Powerful Feature
How is white ink valuable? A wide variety of applications can be personalized with white ink. Here are just a few examples:
- Annual reports
- Book covers
- Brochures
- Business cards
- Catalogs
- Flyers
- Tags.
- Greeting cards
- Invitations
- Labels
- Postcards
- Posters
- Stickers
White ink is such an amazing addition to any print shop, it deserves its own list of five key benefits:
- Striking visibility & contrast — White ink offers strong visibility. You can create more stunning contrast to dark or colored supports due to how opaque the ink is.
- Image sharpness — If you use particularly absorbent substrates (such as uncoated cardboard or offset papers) or print onto metallic, dark, or colored media, your prints have greater clarity. The outlines of your images are crisper in combination with CMYK inks.
- Improved color rendering — If you are printing to transparent or translucent materials, you do not need to manipulate the color rendering of CMYK inks when you have white ink to use as a base.
- Brighter colors – If you use especially absorbent, dark, or colored substrates, your images become more vibrant by using white toner for an initial layer. The colors of CMYK inks become especially brilliant because the white ink has such intense opacity.
- Well-suited for security and identification functions – If you need a simple document identification or security form, white ink can deliver watermarks to white media.
