HP LAUNCHES NEW DESIGNJET PORTFOLIO

HP is launching a new 36-inch DesignJet portfolio, that it says simplifies the printing needs of AEC professionals who increasingly work in a hybrid environment. 

HP says the new DesignJet T850/950 is its “easiest” A3-A1 printing experience, and says the HP DesignJet XL 3800 is its fastest colour printer in its class. According to HP the new DesignJets are for professionals needing “a high-quality printing experience, whenever and wherever they are.”

The company says that with 54 per cent of AEC firms deploying a hybrid work policy, flexible working models are here to stay. This new approach has changed workflows, requiring aspects of the job, including large format printing, to be enabled in a hybrid environment. Because of this, users need intuitive print technology that meets their technical needs, whether that is printing A3-A1 CAD drawings or architectural boards, all without compromising on security.

“More than ever, AEC professionals need easy-to-use tools that help them be more productive and deliver high-quality work - whether they are in the office, at home or somewhere remote,” said Craig Hardman, country sales manager, Large Format Print, HP Australia. “With our new HP DesignJet lineup - alongside software such as HP Click and the HP app - users can print, monitor jobs, and check device status, from virtually anywhere, as well as collaborate on documents with colleagues.”

The HP DesignJet T850/T950 are both made from at least 35% recycled plastic, use carboard-based cartridges, and can be scheduled to power on and off automatically to preserve energy consumption. Meanwhile, the T858/T908 MFP and the HP DesignJet XL 3800 are comprised of at least 33 per cent recycled content.

HP has also prioritised cyber-security, with HP Wolf Security protection built into the HP DesignJet T850/T950 and XL 3800. HP Wolf Security provides comprehensive endpoint protection and resiliency that starts at the hardware level and extends across cloud-based software and services – safeguarding an organisation’s PCs, printers and people from cyber predators.

With additional Enterprise-level Wolf security features, HP says the DesignJet XL 3800 is also the HP’s most secure large format printer, based on third-party analysis of security features available on the market.

The HP DesignJet T850/T950 printers move from A3 to A1 prints, with the A3-to-Large Format integrated device. The HP DesignJet XL 3800 will print six A1 colour pages/min, with the first page out in 20 seconds.

The HP DesignJet T850/950 is available as of now, the and the HP DesignJet XL 3800 by the end of the month.
