HP is touting a wide array of applications the L65500 (pictured) can be used for, “from point-of-purchase displays, transit signage, wall murals and exhibition graphics to vehicle graphics and fleet marking, and a variety of exterior and interior event signage.”

“When we previewed this printer at drupa there was a palpable buzz in the industry,” said Shane Lucas, director of HP Graphic Arts South Pacific. “This is revolutionary technology and is the ideal solution for those Print Service Providers (PSPs) who are concerned about environmental issues, but still want to produce high quality prints.”

The L65500 produces up to 2.64m wide prints at up to 1200 dpi, with HP claiming that outdoor prints “achieve display permanence of up to three years unlaminated and up to five years laminated and are scratch, smudge and water resistant.”
