HP Latex R1000

Prints on rigid materials come out of the printer with a tremendously high quality due to the vibrant colour gamut. Because the Latex ink is much thinner than UV ink (6-8 microns compared to an average of 25-30 microns), the appearance is the same as on flexible materials.

The new white HP Latex ink is opaque and tremendously brilliant on both transparent and coloured media, and does not yellow over time.

The printer's single-ink technology allows easy switching between rigid and flexible materials.

Because inks dry at a lower temperature than generation 3 inks, it can print on a wide variety of rigid materials, up to a thickness of 50 mm. The printer automatically detects and measures the thickness before printing. After reading the thickness, the carriage beam is automatically positioned to the correct print height.

As flexible materials can be easily laminated, the HP Latex R1000 Plus is even suitable for prints for car wraps. Rolls of up to 60 kg can be loaded automatically.

The durable and flexible HP Latex ink has high adhesion and scratch resistance due to the new HP Latex Overcoat; only printing on glass and ceramics requires a primer.

When white ink is not used, the white print heads can be placed in an offline rotation chamber, in which the print heads circulate continuously to prevent clogging. This can save time on jobs that do not use white ink.

Recirculation and nozzle checks of the print heads take place automatically, ensuring high print quality.

The printer recognises the size of rigid materials and adjusts the vacuum zones accordingly. This intelligent vacuum system enables reliable and easy loading. The OBAS (Optical Belt Advance Sensor) measures belt movement to prevent any banding during printing.

It provides proactive notifications and preventive services to maximise uptime and cope with production peaks.

It features a powerful internal print server with an intuitive interface that can be operated from either side of the printer.

The printer comes with installation, training and three years of service and maintenance.
