How Does HP’s DesignJet 5000 UV Model Compare to
EPSON’s Stylus Pro 10000 Archival Model?
➤ The EPSON Stylus Pro 10000 with Archival Ink is significantly more
photographic vs. the HP DesignJet 5000 using UV ink
– EPSON has superior ‘graininess’ and color gradation than HP
– EPSON is using a true 5 picoliter droplet vs. HP’s 12 picoliter
➤ When printing on Glossy Papers, the EPSON Stylus Pro 10000 with
Archival Ink can print up to 29% faster than HP’s DJ-5000 with UV ink
➤ When printing on Tyvek, the EPSON Stylus Pro 10000 with Archival Ink
can print up to 50% faster than HP’s DJ-5000 with UV Ink
➤ When using pigmented inks, not only is the EPSON faster than HP when
printing on Glossy or Tyvek media types, but the final print quality is
superior!
– Again, the HP DJ-5000UV suffers from slow print and dry times along with poor ‘grainy’
image quality
