HP Introduces New PageWide Web Press Platform
HP Inc. has announced the new HP PageWide Advantage 2200 series press.
Designed to meet the needs of print service providers of all sizes, this press offers productivity with quality and media versatility for those in publishing, direct mail and commercial print, to help grow their business.
"This new PageWide Advantage platform is a game changer for the commercial print industry," said Annette Friskopp, global head and general manager, HP PageWide. "HP has listened to our customers, and we realize ease of use and uptime are critical success factors. This new press offers configurations to enable customers to optimize the press for their quality, productivity, versatility and economics to grow their digital production businesses."
The HP PageWide Advantage 2200 offers:
Heightened Productivity & Capacity: The HP PageWide Advantage 2200 is capable of speeds up to 500 ft/min color and 800 ft/min mono, and printing high-coverage jobs at up to 90 million U.S. letter-sized mono images per month or 214,000 personalized A3 color duplex sheets per shift. Recognizing the growing need to print postcards and other applications with thicker stock, this new press delivers game-changing productivity for high-impact, full-coverage jobs.
Top-Notch Quality: With the ability to print using HP Brilliant Ink and 2,400 native nozzle-per-inch printheads, this press offers top-notch quality to address a wide range of higher-value applications, from more colorful trade and educational books, to high-coverage, impactful direct mail pieces that differentiate clients in the market.
Leading Versatility: The HP PageWide Advantage 2200 handles a wide range of media weights from 40 gsm (27 pound) up to 300gsm/14-point stocks, giving printers the versatility they need.
Reliability & Ease of Use: The HP PageWide Advantage 2200 includes a single print arch design with an innovative, robust paper path with fewer components, reducing the number of parts to manage and, therefore, overall maintenance and servicing time, increasing reliability and maximizing uptime.
Flexibility: Designed to offer configuration flexibility, this press features a modular design for customers to start with a lower-capacity machine and enhance the machine as their business grows or their application mix shifts. Customers can select one, two or three dryer modules along with passive or active web cooling modules to fit their needs. In addition, the HP PageWide Advantage 2200 features a compact single-engine duplex design, providing high quality and productivity while saving floor space for customers.
Energy-Efficient Technology: The HP PageWide Advantage 2200 comes equipped with HP's High Efficiency Drying (HED) system that minimizes power usage at higher print speeds by recirculating up to 80% of the air heated during the drying process.
