HP Unveils the World's First 42-inch High-Speed Digital Color Press
Posted on Tue, Mar 22, 2011
HP just announced the largest commercial digital color press, bringing the concept of mass customization to printing by combining the personalization features of digital printing with the efficiencies of high-volume production.
With its unmatched width and its 600-foot/minute (183-meter/minute) speed, the
HP T400 Color Inkjet Web Press prints up to 5,200 full-color, letter-size pages per minute.
HP unveiled the press at the offices of O'Neil Data Systems, a Los Angeles-based data-driven marketing communication firm that now uses all four systems in the HP inkjet web press portfolio – the HP T200, T300, T350 and the new T400.
"HP's T400 is a powerful addition to the Inkjet Web Press family and extends it into unheard of ranges of digital print productivity," said Jim Hamilton, group director of industry analyst firm InfoTrends. "These are revolutionary devices that compel marketers and content providers to re-
imagine what can be accomplished with production digital print."
O'Neil Data Systems is home to the first HP T400 press installation. "The HP T400 Color Inkjet Web Press truly is converging on offset speeds while providing the benefits of a digital printing environment," said James Lucanish, president, O'Neil Data Systems.
