HP's Next Generation Printers

HP's Next Generation Printers

As mentioned earlier, four new printer models are launched in the consumer category. Of the four, the D5460, C5380 and C6380 models will feature HP's next generation 5-ink printing technology. Simply put, this 5-ink attribute amounts to pigment black ink able to dispense laser-quality text, coupled with color dye-ink print heads (using dual-drop volume technology) to deliver finer print details of up to 9600 by 2400 dpi resolution. Notably, the new PhotoSmart C-Series AIOs are able to print wirelessly via a wireless router, besides its conventional scan and copy solution.

 The wireless PhotoSmart C6380 AIO touts a print speed of up to 33ppm for black prints and up to 31ppm for color jobs. To add, users can also print out 5 by 7-inch photos without swapping paper, all thanks to its automated photo tray. The C6380's street price is estimated to be US$199.

"Designed to match consumer preferences, HP's new consumer printing line-up makes it easy for consumers to print wirelessly and make smart environmental choices through HP's Eco Highlights Label. HP's continued emphasis on innovation also sees the introduction of our new HP five-ink printing system that delivers finely-detailed, long-lasting photos and laser-quality text, comparable to six-ink printing systems," chirps Mr Christoph Schell, Vice President of Consumer Go To Market and Inkjet and Web Solutions for HP's APJ Imaging and Printing Group.

 For SMB retailers looking for a lone solution, HP seems to have answered their call with the rp3000 Point of Sale (POS) package. This cashier's dream processes sales transactions, manages stock inventory, offers RAID redundancy, and comes with a USB scanner and thermal receipt printer. We aren't talking about that saccharine lady by the way.
