The HP Latex 280 Printer features an embedded i1 spectrophotometer for colour management, enabling automatic calibration for paper-based media (but not for textiles and banners) and calibration for multiple printers. Media can be fed via the roll feed and the automatic cutter cuts media including vinyl, paper-based, backlit polyester film, and thin banners. HP 792 Latex Ink cartridges are available in 775 ml and HP Latex printheads feature 1200 nozzles per inch, and are user-replaceable, maintaining image quality over the life of the printer.
The 104-inch addressable width means access to more of the fabric rolls available on the market, including soft materials previously too light to load. The front tension system and edge holders of the HP Latex 280 printer contribute to even higher image quality especially when using porous materials and thin textiles. The Platen Cover accessory enables printing on porous materials while protecting the printer. The Take Up Reel is a productivity booster for unattended printing. The 104-inch single spindles handle up to 100 kg (220 lb.). HP Latex prints offer outdoor display permanence of up to five years laminated, three years unlaminated.
The HP Optical Media Advance Sensor (OMAS) uses precise and accurate motion control of the media advance between print swaths, which controls registration automatically, and supports double-sided priting with minimal operator intervention. Save time, as no need to rewind the roll between sides.
