HP and Canon Debut New Printers

Trade-show season is typically filled with new product launches, and 2018 did not disappoint. HP and Canon both debuted new printers at FESPA and SGIA.

HP Makes a Splash at FESPA 2018

HP DesignJet Z6610

HP announced of the new suite of DesignJet Z-series printers, designed to increase production, reduced print costs with improved color gamut, and the first ever DesignJet printer with a vertical trimmer.

The 60-inch wide HP DesignJet Z6610 Production Printer (6-color) and DesignJet Z6810 Production Printer (8-color) are built to handle high-speed printing (up to 548 sq. ft. on plain paper) and long, unattended workloads because of long-roll handling, 775-ml ink capacity, and a built-in take-up reel.

The HP DesignJet Z6 PostScript Printer (6-color) and DesignJet Z9+ PostScript Printer (9-color with Gloss Optimizer option) offer SecureBoot and an encrypted hard disk to preserve confidentiality. The Z6dr and Z9+dr offer the additional benefits of dual roll handling and the vertical trimmer, reducing the need to switch media rolls between jobs and manual trimming in post-production.

Canon Takes Strides to Improve CAD Printers

At the 2018 SGIA show, Canon introduced the imagePROGRAF TM Series of CAD printers. The new line of printers improves upon the previous generation of IPF CAD printers by increasing speeds by as much as 23% and reducing ink consumption by as much as 21%.

If you are looking to add a new CAD printer to your workflow, check out the suite of TM-Series from Canon:

  • Canon imagePROGRAF TM-300

    Standard Versions: The 24-inch TM-200, the 36-inch TM-300, and the 36-inch TM-305 – this suite of printers offer secure printing, and a smaller footprint than other 24- and 36-inch CAD printers, which means they fit well in small environments. They are easy to use for everyone from beginner to professional.

  • T-Scanner: The 36-inch TM-300 MFP T36 and TM-305 MFP T36 offer the same benefits as the standard TM printers, but with the added ability to quickly scan documents.
  • Lei Series: The 24-inch TM-200 MFP L24ei and 36-inch TM-300 MFP L36ei allow for scanning and sharing of documents through the ScanApp Lei software that is simple and easy to operate for low volume, entry-level users.
