The Designjet L65500 can print at speeds of up to 70sqm/hr for outdoor applications and 35sqm/hr for indoor, at resolutions of up to 1,200dpi.

The machine uses new latex, water-based inks, which are odourless and offer high levels of scratch and smudge resistance. As the first press to use these inks, it was also awarded EDP’s Inkjet Ink 2009 gong in recognition of the environmental benefits.

EDP chairman Agustín Torres said: “Given the profile it enjoys in the printing industry, we’re delighted to see HP using its industry leadership to encourage a more sustainable approach from the graphic arts market.”
