Additionally, the inclusion of in-line priming and enhanced drying features boosts the T490HD’s flexibility and speed. In-line priming allows for expanded media compatibility including non-inkjet treated media and the option for both coated (gloss or matte) offset media and uncoated media. The HL10+ Enhanced Dryer increases productivity by reducing drying time up to 20% from traditional three-zone drying systems. T400 series press can be upgraded to the T490HD by technicians on-site limiting costly downtime for removal and replacement of equipment.
The press can print both sides of the web, inspect in-line, and use dual-roll winders with automated splicing for non-stop production. Judges saw the significantly increased speed and resolution of this 40” HP PageWide inkjet web press as an unmistakable innovation, one that combines customized print at a throughput of traditional color offset presses.
