How Does HP’s DesignJet 5000 UV Model Compare to
EPSON’s Stylus Pro 10000 Archival Model?
➤ Dry time is significantly longer between printed sheets when using the
HP DesignJet 5000 with UV ink vs. dye.
– After printing a sheet with HP UV ink, the DesignJet 5000 must ‘hold’ the job for the
required ‘dry’ time before cutting and allowing the next print to begin printing.
– Depending upon the media type being used, the HP DesignJet 5000 running UV ink
must ‘hold’ the printed job for up to 7 minutes before the next print can begin.
– With longer print runs, the EPSON Stylus Pro 10000 with Archival Ink clearly outperforms
HP’s DesignJet 5000UV.
– When using HP UV ink, the HP “Max Quality” print mode is worse than HP’s current
“Production” print mode on their dye model!
– The overall print quality of the DJ5000 when running HP UV ink is significantly worse
than their current dye model.
– Photographically, EPSON’s Archival Ink Technology on the Stylus Pro 10000 is more
competitive with HP’s Dye ink than their UV.
