Affirming its commitment to reduce the environmental impact of printing, HP is offering a portfolio of cost-efficient and eco-friendly HP Designjet and Scitex large-format printers that were displayed in a series of open house tours and interactive demonstrations at 11FTC Enterprise (sales@11FTC.com), one of the country’s leading print service providers (PSPs). The six-day open house had discussions and product demonstrations on the advantages of ink type, print quality, eco-friendly media selection, software solutions, unique print applications, and environmentally-responsible innovations.

HP Designjet and Scitex printers use HP Latex Printing Technology that offers PSPs with more environmentally-sound digital print options. Water-based and odorless HP latex and UV inks use low-solvent ink technology as opposed to hazardous solvent inks. These water-based inks do not produce ozone emissions during printing and do not contain harmful air pollutants, allowing enterprise customers to protect the environment while delivering superb customized outputs to clients.
