HP (Hewlett-Packard) Z6100 Series Printer User Manual


 
HP Double Swath Technology
With HP Double Swath Technology, the HP Designjet Z6100 Printer series has twice
the performance of the HP Designjet 5500 Printer series without sacrificing image
quality or product robustness.
Two full-function, synchronised printheads cover twice the area of conventional single
printhead systems without compromising on print-quality. The printheads are arranged
in an overlapping, staggered pair formation, with the best-aligned nozzles used to
ensure continuity between the two printheads. This system effectively doubles the
number of nozzles firing from 1056 to 2112 per colour for the rapid finishing of
professional colour prints with superb line accuracy.
HP Optical Media Advance Sensor
The first-ever HP Optical Media Advance Sensor allows you to print at top speeds and still
get great output results. It’s a direct media measurement system that provides accurate,
real-time feedback on media advance to the printer. As an improved paper advance control,
it helps overcome banding issues while allowing the printer to print at higher speeds and
across a range of environmental conditions without compromising image quality. You'll be
able to leave the printer unattended—even overnight—for production-volume printing.
HP Vivera pigment inks
HP Vivera pigment inks offer outstanding image quality and fade resistance on a wide variety of photo and fine art
media, along with water resistance on a range of HP creative and specialty media. HP’s proprietary Electrosteric
Encapsulation Technology optimises the pigment chemistry and ink properties for stability and performance to ensure
broad colour gamut, excellent gloss uniformity, and consistent printing.

HP DreamColor Technologies
Representing a new system of colour sciences, HP DreamColor Technologies allow you
to achieve accurate, predictable and consistent colour on various media across a series
of digital colour devices. This system of colour displays, printers and technologies will
help you create the colour your customers want, every time, by accurately matching your
colour from display to printer to press. Seamless integration between applications and
devices speeds up your turnaround time and lowers production costs.
HP's embedded spectrophotometer with i1 Color Technology further revolutionises
professional colour workflows by automating media profiling. It allows users to
automatically generate custom CMYK ICC profiles for their preferred media and provides
accurate measurements for printer calibration

that delivers print-to-print and printer-to-
printer colour consistency. Also, with the optional HP Advanced Profiling Solution,
you can edit and modify existing profiles and create RGB profiles.
