HP offers consumers a new generation of print cartridges inkjet unconditional and especially aimed at professional photographers. Designed to work with a wide range of HP printers and photo papers, the new series of six inkjet cartridges is substantial benefits for consumers by combining speed, image quality and fade resistance in a single solution. Technical advances, including the redesign of the print cartridge, new ink formulations and improved printing technology combine to provide consumers with excellent results.

¡°The progress that has led to this new generation of print cartridges illustrate our commitment to research and development, provided the benefit of HP customers,¡± says Kim Holmes, vice president and general manager of HP IPG Accessories for Europe, Middle East and Africa.

¡°We have integrated a number of new applications for consumers to achieve superior results and an improved experience.¡±

A flexible solution

The new range of inkjet cartridges includes two new tri-color inkjet cartridges (HP 343 and 344), the print cartridge HP 348 photo inkjet, cartridge inkjet photo print in gray and two HP 100 inkjet cartridges black ink (HP 338 and 339).

The six print cartridges allow great flexibility in that, depending on the model of printer, consumers can change the cartridges together to create the desired images. In addition, tri-color print cartridge and black are available in two sizes, which benefits consumers who produce large quantities of documents.

Speed is essential

HP has made significant improvements in speed, efficiency and productivity when printing text, graphics and photos. The size of the print head inkjet cartridge HP 339 Black has increased by 68%, from 0.85 to 1¡ä43 inches, thus requiring a smaller number of sweeps on the page to distribute ink and complete the picture, on the other hand the number of injectors has increased from 416 to 672. In the tricolor inkjet cartridges (HP 343 and 344) and cartridge HP Inkjet Photo 348, the number of nozzles has doubled to reach 600, which implies an increased rate without necessarily diminish the high quality of printing.

It has also increased the firing frequency of two inkjet cartridges black (HP 339 and 338) and two tri-color inkjet cartridges (HP 343 and 344) by improving electromechanical communication ¨C information that indicates which be released when the ink on paper ¨C between the cartridge and the printer.

With the traditional image quality

One of the main achievements of this product lies in the fact that the speed and efficiency of printing have been increased without sacrificing image quality. The new form of inkjet cartridge puts him closer to the paper, which improves the transfer to the blade and increasing control and precision in the placement of the ink. The new cartridges work with the printer to achieve true borderless printing ¨C no need to discard them ¨C which is an additional benefit.

In addition, HP has developed new ink formulations allow richer colors and deeper blacks. Tricolor inkjet cartridges include a new ink-based cyan and yellow and magenta inks, which not only quality but also enhance performance. The inkjet cartridges contain a new black pigment-based black that allows for text and graphics quality laser and prevents the mix of color inks and black printed graphics.

Print features incorporated into this new generation of cartridges bring a series of added advantages. For example, to ensure consistency in the image when the print cartridge factory is made electronically record the weight of a drop of ink.

Then each time you install a cartridge, the system reads the weight of the ink droplet and automatically performs a series of adjustments to the amount of each color printed, thus producing consistent and true tones, even when you change a cartridge by another. Among other features, also features easy installation and management, with proactive alerts that notify the user when ink levels are low. There is the ability to print an order page, which can be used as a reference guide for consumers when selecting which cartridges need to buy.

A fade resistance well above the rest

Being able to print high quality images quickly is a great achievement, but it can be overshadowed if the prints do not last as expected. However, this range of inkjet cartridges HP is based on HP¡¯s strong experience in the field of fade resistance and durability to provide significantly improved at 3 and 4 printing inks as well as the effective and printing systems 6 and 8-ink. 1

Environment friendly

The life of an HP print cartridge just does not end when the ink. HP is committed to helping all users to responsibly eliminate its print cartridges through recycling programs.

This is specified in the HP Planet Partners program, whereby consumers simply have to enter the empty cartridges in the package supplied with printed addressed, stamped envelope, and HP is responsible for recycling.
