12-ink Pigment System with HP Quad-Black Ink Set and Gloss
Enhancer
The HP Designjet Z3100 uses twelve
Vivera Pigment Inks including seven
colors, four blacks, and a gloss
enhancer. These inks deliver an
exceptionally broad color gamut for
photographic and graphic arts
applications, superb neutral tones,
and deep blacks on matte fine art as well as glossy and
semi-gloss photo papers. Prints display uniform gloss on
glossy and semi-gloss photo papers without the need for
film, liquid, or spray lamination and offer more than 200 years fade
resistance on a range of HP creative and specialty media.

The HP Designjet Z3100 uses six HP 70 Printheads.
HP’s Multichrome Ink set prints reds, greens, and blues directly with HP
70 Red, Green, and Blue Inks. This extends the color gamut and can
reduce ink use for these important colors. In addition, color accuracy is
improved and metamerism is significantly reduced.
The HP Designjet Z3100 uses a single cyan ink, HP 70 Light Cyan. This ink has a drop weight
and pigment load that has been optimized to give both grain-free cyan highlights and saturated
cyan with low metamerism.

HP 70 Blue and HP 70 Green Inks produce saturated blues and
greens without the need for a “dark” cyan ink. Fine control over reds is obtained with HP Red Ink
and HP 70 Light Magenta and HP 70 Magenta combined with HP 70 Yellow Inks.

The four pigment black HP 70 inks include light and medium grays, a
photo black, and a matte black. The HP Quad-Black Ink set offers
exceptional highlight and shadow detail and virtually invisible grain in
B&W photos. With four black inks on-board, images on matte fine art
papers and glossy photo media can be printed without swapping ink cartridges and without
wasting time and ink to reconfigure the printer.
HP 70 black inks deliver accurate gray tones over the entire range from white to black. Because
these inks are neutral, HP 70 Light Gray, HP 70 Gray, and HP 70 Photo Black Inks produce
