30 Apr HP Designjet Z6100 printer
HP Designjet Z6100 Printer series are thermal inkjet printers designed for print-service providers and large technical operations like architecture, engineering and geographical information. Launched in 2007 the machines were in the catalogue until 2011. They were replaced by the Z6200 which has a similar specification.
The Z6100 is an 8-head wide carriage dual swath printer delivering high quality at print speeds over 1,000 square feet per hour. These machines are twice the speed of the DesignJet 5000 and 5500 which they were designed to replace. They seem to have replaced the DesignJet 4500 as well although they did appear in the 2009 catalogue alongside the 4520. Other improvements include an embedded spectrophotometer which reduces colour error to less than half that of the older DesignJet’s and an Optical Media Advance Sensor to allow high speed with consistent accuracy.
