The Z
Series was released at the end of 2006 and HP’s dedicated stand at PMA will give
Australian and New Zealand visitors the first opportunity to view these printers
at a major industry trade show.
Since its release the Z Series has proven its
superior colour imaging capabilities around the world as photographers discover
the extraordinary clarity and depth of colour achievable in the prints they are
able to output on a range of art and photographic papers and canvas.
The Z
Series features the first built-in spectrophotometer in a printer of this class
capable of consistently producing museum-quality eight and 12 ink prints that last
200 years1 .
At the launch of the series in Bangkok in September 2006,
internationally renowned photographer Douglas Kirkland espoused the virtues of
the Z Series in being able to accurately represent his photographs many of which
are of the world’s most famous celebrities and models.
“PMA provides an
unprecedented opportunity for photographers to explore the opportunities
available to them with the HP Designjet Z Series Photo Printers,” says Ben Ho,
Large Format Printing – market development manager, HP Imaging and Printing
Group (ANZ).
“This Series features the first built-in spectrophotometer in a
printer of this class ensuring consistency in colour reproduction from the first
to last print giving users greater confidence that their creative works will be
accurately represented.”
HP will also present leading Australian photographer
Trent Parke who will participate in the PMA workshop programme.
The series
features two printers; the HP Designjet Z2100 24 inch (60.96 cm) and Z3100 44
inch (111.76cm).
Continuing to expand its professional printing portfolio, HP is
leveraging its pigment ink technologies developed for the HP Photosmart Pro
B9180 to create the first large-format printers employing HP’s Scalable Printing
Technology.
