Product Highlights

What is the HP Latex 730 W (870B8A)?

The HP Latex 730 W is the white-ink version of the HP Latex 730: a 64-inch printer using water-based HP Latex Inks in 1 L HP 832 cartridges (cyan, magenta, yellow, black, light cyan, light magenta, white, Optimizer and Overcoat) with ten printheads, two of them white. HP lists white spot, overflood, underflood, 3-layer and 5-layer modes, and the printer has an embedded spectrophotometer. DTG in Tampa, FL sells it for shops that print white on clear, colored or dark media.

HP Latex 730 W: overview

HP rates white spot at 183 ft²/hr, overflood at 97, underflood at 47, three layers at 32 and five layers at 16 ft²/hr, with white ink densities up to 260%. Color speeds equal the 730: 334 ft²/hr in high-speed banner (4-pass), 226 in 6-pass, 183 in standard 8-pass, 172 in 12-pass and 118 in 16-pass. HP says underflood, 3-layer and 5-layer white printing are 30% faster than on the HP Latex 700 and 800 series.

An automatic white ink recirculation system runs between the HP Latex 832 Ink Mix and the white cartridge. When you are not printing white, HP says you can remove the white printheads and store them in the offline rotation chamber to avoid wasting white ink. The box adds a white ink module and an empty cartridge for white ink recirculation to the 730 contents.

How the HP Latex 730 W differs from the 730 and the 830 W

Against the HP Latex 730, the 730 W adds the white cartridge, two white printheads (ten printheads instead of eight), the white ink module and the recirculation system; both weigh 575 lb. Against the HP Latex 830 W, it uses 1 L instead of 3 L cartridges, has a 334 ft²/hr high-speed banner (4-pass) rating instead of 387 ft²/hr, and takes rolls from 18 in rather than 16.5 in.
