Large Format Printing Goes Green
These days, going green is not only good for the environment, it’s also good for business – especially the large format printing business.
Major large format printing companies like Discount Displays are investing in green technology that must meet rigorous standards of high quality printing as well as being kind to the planet. Discount Displays recently purchased the HP Designjet L65500 Printer, featuring HP Latex Inks and HP Wide Scan Printing Technology that offer large format printing companies a versatile print system that can produce a wide range of applications – from point-of- purchase displays, posters, window graphics and exhibition graphics to vehicle graphics and fleet marking, and a variety of exterior and interior event signage.
The HP technology provides:
- Durable, odourless prints
- Sharp, vivid image quality
- Application versatility
- High productivity
This technology enables Discount Displays to increase print capacity and better serve customers while reducing the impact of their printing on the environment.
Lasting visual – not environmental – impact.
Outdoor prints produced with HP Latex Inks achieve display permanence up to three years unlaminated and up to five years laminated and are scratch, smudge and water resistant on a range of media. Indoor prints produced with HP Latex Inks achieve display permanence in-window up to five years unlaminated and up to 10 years laminated.
Two specially treated HP media, HP Tyvek Banner and HP High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) Reinforced Banner, provide both image quality and durability when printing with HP Designjet L65500 Printer using HP Latex Inks. This proprietary new HP media surface-treatment technology produces a wide colour gamut and makes it possible to achieve both durability and sharp, vivid image quality on materials that don’t typically print well with solvent inks.
The variety of HP media includes both outdoor and indoor substrates, and ranges from low-cost, uncoated media to a selection of banner, self-adhesive, film, fabric, paper, mesh and specialty options.
The large format printing experts at Discount Displays can show you can obtain top quality printing while still being kind to the environment. For more information, visit our website or call us on 0844 800 1020.
