Design
Proofing
• Have proofs approved in record time:
colors stabilize in less than 5 minutes.
• Print consistent and accurate colors
across a wide range of media, thanks
to automated printer calibration and
ICC profiling.
• Produce high-quality black-and-white
proofs: The 8 HP Vivera pigment inks
include three blacks that give excellent
gray neutrality.
Commercial photography
• Create neutral black and white prints.
No need to waste ink when changing
between matte and glossy papers: all
three blacks are always on board.
• Produce consistent and accurate color
photo proofs, thanks to the printer’s
built-in calibration technology and
broad color gamut.
• Print on almost any media—the printer
creates media profiles for you and you
can use thick stock of up to 500 g/m
2
.
Mapping
• Maps and satellite images show more
detail and gradations thanks to small
drop size and precise placement.
• Output resists fading and is water-
resistant, so maps can be used in the
field.
• Colors are consistent, so subtle
differences can be seen and studied
over time
• Print full-color, long-lasting posters,
banners and displays on a wide range
of media.
• Create persuasive marketing collateral,
point-of-sales material and tradeshow
displays with photo-quality images and
consistent, accurate colors.

Key technologies
Electrostatic Encapsulation
Technology
HP Vivera pigment inks offer outstanding image quality and fade
resistance on a wide variety of photo and fine art media, along
with water resistance on a range of HP creative and specialty
media. HP’s proprietary Electrostatic Encapsulation Technology
optimizes the pigment chemistry and ink properties for stability
and performance to ensure a broad color gamut, print
permanence, excellent gloss uniformity and reliable, accurate
and consistent printing.
HP’s 8-ink printing system is made up of the exclusive
HP Vivera pigment ink formulation technology with HP
70 Printheads, each printing two colors of ink with
1,056 nozzles per color and the HP Three-Black Ink set.
Ensures exceptional color accuracy and consistency:
a valuable tool for graphic designers and prepress
professionals who need repeatable results. The HP
Designjet Z series are also the first large-format printers
to employ HP Scalable Printing Technology, providing
superior reliability and optimized ink consumption.
The HP embedded spectrophotometer with i1 Color
Technology from GretagMacbeth is mounted on the printer
carriage and revolutionizes professional color workflows by
automating media profiling. It allows users to automatically
generate custom RGB ICC profiles for their preferred
media and provides accurate measurements for printer
calibration that delivers print-to-print and printer-to-printer
color consistency. Also, with the optional HP Advanced
Profiling Solution, you can edit and modify existing profiles
and create CMYK profiles.
An extensive media portfolio: HP offers a portfolio of
9 photo papers, 10 digital fine art papers, 3 proofing
papers, 9 bond and coated papers and over 30 other
HP media. All have been tested with HP 70 Vivera
pigment inks to deliver consistent, museum-quality prints
that withstand the demands of handling, display and
storage expected of professional prints.
• Produce impressive renderings and
presentation panels with superior
quality, consistency and durability.
•
Three-black ink allows for greater realism
in renderings with metal or stone.
•
Images are smudge-resistant to minimize
damage from repeated handling.
High-quality creative prints, prepress proofs and technical images
• Make an impact by presenting
concepts in large format and with
accurate colors right from the start of
your project. The printer covers over
80% of PANTONE colors.
• Get consistent colors, print after print
and from one printer to another, thanks
to automated printer calibration.
