According to Kyle Morrison, Project Ink’s owner, the printer’s media versatility and water-based HP latex inks have already enabled him to increase business, produce more of his work in house and improve his work environment.
Until recently, Project Ink relied on a non-HP solvent-based printer for some jobs and outsourced others to a print service provider operating an HP Designjet L65500 printer with HP latex inks.
When Morrison learned about water-based HP latex inks and recyclable HP media options, he decided to install an HP Designjet L25500 in his print shop.
He said: ‘The media versatility alone allows us to print more in house.
‘I can go from poster paper to traditional and recyclable banners to fabric without having to make any adjustments,’ added Morrison.
He has already used many of the HP printing materials designed together with HP latex inks and the Designjet L25500, including the PVC-free Wall Paper, the White Satin Poster Paper and Dupont Tyvek Banner.
‘For the Jade Aveda Salons, we used HP’s Wrinkle Free Flag with Liner to complete a job we would normally outsource,’ said Morrison.
Project Ink also produced posters and wallpaper for the salon.
Unlike most printers that use solvent inks, the Designjet L25500 with HP latex inks is claimed to produce odourless prints.
In addition to reducing the environmental impact of printing a variety of applications, the Designjet L25500 enables Project Ink to reduce the waste associated with traditional large-format printing, according to HP.
A free HP programme for recycling original HP ink cartridges and printheads is available.
HP is offering the large-format media take-back programme in the US and Europe, through which most HP recyclable signage media can be returned.
Some recyclable papers can be recycled through commonly available recycling programmes.
Recycling opportunities for these products are currently only available in limited areas and customers should consult local recycling resources about recycling these products.
