Consumer printing is one thing but don’t leave out high-speed printing requirements. And for that matter, Hewlett Packard is certainly in the picture as well as they try to help print service providers (PSPs) become more profitable and accelerate their transition from analog to digital printing.

Bolstering HP’s efforts to target the $3 billion digital print market opportunity for publishing in 2010, as well as the $13 billion market opportunity for direct mail, transactional and transpromotional printing in 2010, the HP Inkjet Web Press offers:

• Addressable printing resolution of 1,200 x 600 dots per inch (dpi) at a full press speed of 400 feet per minute – an industry first for high-volume continuous-feed inkjet production platforms – using the latest generation of HP Thermal Inkjet printheads based on HP Scalable Printing Technology.
• Compatibility with a wide range of media types and weights, including uncoated offset stock, newsprint, and treated and coated papers.

HP also announced the addition of Courier Corporation, a leading North American book manufacturer, and Consolidated Graphics, one of the largest North American general commercial printing companies, to the HP Inkjet Web Press pilot program.
