HP has announced the new HP Designjet T Printer series for Computer Aided Design (CAD) and Geographical Information System (GIS) professionals and work teams, extending its large-format portfolio and redefining the industry standard by providing the next level of print quality and dependability. Combined with fast print speeds, the HP Designjet T printer series reinforce HP as the trusted choice in large format printing.
The new HP Designjet T Printers series, which include the HP Designjet T610 and T1100 Printer series, set a new standard of print quality with its Three-black ink set and HP Vivera inks, delivering exacting detail, a wider range of colours and hard-to-achieve tone reproduction. The HP Designjet T Printer series builds upon the proven reliability of HP large-format printers by adding enhanced compatibility and dependability delivered by HP-GL/2 and in-printer processing architecture. In addition, these printers can print an A1/D page in 35 seconds enabling project print speeds up to three times faster than the previous offering, the HP Designjet 800 series.
According to InfoTrends, the growing use of colour in technical applications, such as GIS, is driving growth in the wide format colour inkjet technical market, up to 25 percent in some regions.
"The foundation of our leadership in the large-format printing market has been our ability to bring innovation to the technical market," said VS Hariharan, vice president of Graphic Arts business, HP Imaging and Printing Group, Asia Pacific and Japan .

Defining a new quality standard for CAD, AEC, GIS professionals
The HP Designjet T Printer series features the Three-black ink set which produces true neutral grays, enabling enhanced detail and hard-to-achieve tones. HP Vivera inks produce images with even, subtle contrast from vivid colour to soft tones. And with HP's innovative, large printhead design, the printing system produces pinpoint line accuracy and crisp text with improved line accuracy at 0.1% and 0.0423 mm minimum line width, allowing technical professionals and work teams to produce outstanding drawings and presentations.
Precise colour, lines and detail are exceptionally critical for designers in the automobile industry. Volvo Car Corporation, one of the leaders in the automobile industry worldwide, relies on professional renderings and sketches to create the strategic design of future cars.
"The quality of the blacks is essential," said José M a . Solé, Designer, Strategic Design Barcelona, Volvo Car Corporation. "We often use black backgrounds to highlight the design of the vehicle, and it has been historically difficult to reproduce neutral and metallic colours. The Three-black ink set of the HP Designjet T1100ps prints rich and neutral blacks and greys without colour retouching.
In addition, the HP Designjet T Printer series offer remarkable compatibility with CAD applications and readily connect to operating systems with HP-GL/2. HP has partnered with companies like Autodesk, Bentley Systems, ESRI and Dassault Systèmes to ensure HP Designjet T Printer series users have connectivity and software compatibility with the industry's key CAD and GIS applications needed to produce high-quality prints. Moreover, the HP Designjet T Printer series' in-printer processing architecture enables quick, efficient processing of files in the printer no matter the complexity without tying up workstation or requiring powerful networks and computer devices.
The HP Designjet T1100 Printer series, including the HP Designjet T1100 and T1100ps, is ideal for larger CAD and GIS work groups who need to manage larger print runs. The HP Designjet T1100ps is uniquely designed with more compatibility with graphic design applications, offering network capabilities and the ability to be shared efficiently among multiple users in a network environment.
Ideal for the CAD and GIS professionals who require convenient printing in-house, the HP Designjet T610 is perfect for personal use, smaller offices and studio environments.
Designed specifically for the technical market, HP offers a wide range of Original HP media substrates for the HP Designjet T Printer series designed with HP Vivera inks to provide consistent, professional results. Count on excellent dry-time and smudge-resistance on a range of HP media.
