HP Introduces Two New Aqueous Printers

HP just announced the release of the HP DesignJet Z9+ Pro 64-in Printer and the HP DesignJet Z6 Pro 64-in Printer. These new printers offer dual roll handling on media from 16-in to -64-in wide. Both printers are ultra-secure for printing government documents.

What’s Different?

The original DesignJet Z6 and Z9+ models are available in 24-in and 44-in widths, while the new Pro Series printers are 64-in. They also feature a spindle-less system and an optional dual roll system, and an automatic roll feed with smart roll-switching, saving you valuable time in the midst of a heavy workflow. The automatic horizontal cutter cuts all HP Z Series printer-qualified media, including most canvas.
