Showing off: HP gets ready to display latest in Z Series

The Z Series was released at the end of 2006. Designed for the photographic and creative market, it features a built-in spectrophotometer and produces museum-quality 8 and 12 ink prints that last 200 years. When the series was launched in Bangkok in September 2006, photographer Douglas Kirkland said that the Z Series was able to accurately represent his photographs, which have included celebrities and models.

This is one the equipment’s strengths, according to Ben Ho, large format printing - market development manager, HP Imaging and Printing Group (ANZ). “PMA provides an unprecedented opportunity for photographers to explore the opportunities available to them with the HP Designjet Z Series Photo Printers,” he said.

The series features two printers; the HP Designjet Z2100 24 inch (60.96 cm) and Z3100 44 inch (111.76cm). “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,” Ho said.
