Key technologies
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
Electrostatic Encapsulation Technology optimizes the
pigment chemistry and ink properties for stability and
performance to ensure a broad color gamut, print
permanence, excellent gloss uniformity and reliable,
accurate and consistent printing.
The HP embedded spectrophotometer with i1 Color
Technology from X-Rite is mounted on the printer
carriage and revolutionizes professional color workflows
by automating media profiling. It allows users to
automatically generate custom RGB ICC profiles for their
preferred media and provides accurate measurements
for printer calibration that delivers print-to-print and
printer-to-printer color consistency. Also, with the optional
HP Advanced Profiling Solution, you can edit and modify
existing profiles and create CMYK profiles.
HP’s 8-ink printing system is made up of the exclusive
HP Vivera pigment ink formulation technology with HP
70 Printheads, each printing two colors of ink with 1,056
nozzles per color and the HP Three-black ink set. Ensures
exceptional color accuracy and consistency: a valuable
tool for graphic designers and prepress professionals who
need repeatable results. The HP Designjet Z series are
also the first large-format printers to employ HP Scalable
Printing Technology, providing superior reliability and
optimized ink consumption.
An extensive media portfolio: HP offers a portfolio of
9 photo papers, 10 digital fine art papers, 3 proofing
papers, 9 bond and coated papers and over 30 other
HP media. All have been tested with HP 70 Vivera
pigment inks to deliver consistent, museum-quality prints
that withstand the demands of handling, display and
storage expected of professional prints.
High-quality creative prints, prepress proofs and
technical images
Proofing
• Have proofs approved in record time: colors stabilize
in less than 5 minutes.
• Print consistent and accurate colors across a wide
range of media, thanks to automated printer
calibration and ICC profiling.
• Produce high-quality black-and-white proofs:
The 8 HP Vivera pigment inks include three blacks
that give excellent gray neutrality.
Display graphics
• Print full-color, long-lasting posters, banners and
displays on a wide range of media.
• Create persuasive marketing collateral, point-of-sales
material and tradeshow displays with photo-quality
images and consistent, accurate colors.
Design
• Make an impact by presenting concepts in large
format and with accurate colors right from the start of
your project. The printer covers over 80% of
PANTONE colors.
• Get consistent colors, print after print and
from one printer to another, thanks to automated
printer calibration.
Technical presentations
• Produce impressive renderings and presentation panels
with superior quality, consistency and durability.
• Three-black ink allows for greater realism in renderings
with metal or stone.
• Images are smudge-resistant to minimize damage from
repeated handling.
Commercial photography
• Create neutral black and white prints. No need to
waste ink when changing between matte and glossy
papers: all three blacks are always on board.
• Produce consistent and accurate color photo proofs,
thanks to the printer’s built-in calibration technology
and broad color gamut.
• Print on almost any media—the printer creates media
profiles for you and you can use thick stock of up to
500 g/m

.
Mapping
• Maps and satellite images show more detail
and gradations thanks to small drop size and
precise placement.
• Output resists fading and is water-resistant, so maps
can be used in the field.
• Colors are consistent, so subtle differences can be
seen and studied over time.
