IMPRESSIVE PRINTS THAT LAST: Get vivid, long-lasting quality with HP Vivera pigment inks.
• Output spectacular high-quality color photos, renderings and presentations. HP 70 Vivera pigment inks with
an 8-ink printing system achieve consistently outstanding image quality. The precisely placed 4 and 6 pl ink
drops, along with resolution of 2400 dpi, highlight even the most intricate details.
•
Water-resistant prints resist fading: Your photos, posters, presentations and maps will be water-resistant1 and
will resist fading for over 200 years2 on a range of basic and specialty media.
•
The Three-Black ink set (matte black, photo black and light gray). Ensure true neutral tones and rich, deep blacks.
You can even print on matte or glossy paper without having to waste time and ink exchanging cartridges.
BREAKTHROUGH COLOR: Achieve consistent and accurate color.
•
Expect superior and consistent color from print to print. The first-ever embedded spectrophotometer with
i1 color technology enables the printer to automatically generate custom ICC profiles for your preferred
paper and calibrates the printer to deliver print-to-print and printer-to-printer repeatability.
•
Present projects on media that supports your vision. Achieve consistent colors on a wide range of papers.
Choose from over 30 new HP papers and other readily available media.
•
Fast color stability covers a broad gamut. Output stable proofs in less than 5 minutes and with over 80%
PANTONE® coverage3, including full compliance with prepress standards.
• Glide effortlessly through color management and printing with the HP Color Center tool.
TRUE PRINT CONFIDENCE: Print with greater confidence, thanks to dependable HP technologies.
• Achieve flawless output every time. To ensure dependable and consistent image quality every time, the drop-
ejection performance of every nozzle is periodically and automatically tested with an Optical Drop Detector.
• Eliminate trial and error with real-time layout and orientation preview. Take the guesswork out of margins.
Save time and materials.
• Spend less time waiting. The new and powerful internal processor uses 128 MB of standard memory and a
40 GB hard disk so that productivity is high, even for very complex prints. And thanks to HP Vivera pigment
inks, the output dries instantly and can be used as soon as it has been printed.
• Benefit from HP Services. A number of complimentary services are provided to assist you during installation
and throughout your printing workflow. For enhanced assistance, purchase from the extensive portfolio of
service options available.

Key technologies
Electrostatic Encapsulation
Technology
HP Vivera pigment inks offer outstanding image quality and fade
resistance on a wide variety of photo and fine art media, along
with water resistance on a range of HP creative and specialty
media. HP’s proprietary Electrostatic Encapsulation Technology
optimizes the pigment chemistry and ink properties for stability
and performance to ensure a broad color gamut, print
permanence, excellent gloss uniformity and reliable, accurate
and consistent printing.
The HP embedded spectrophotometer with i1 Color
Technology from GretagMacbeth is mounted on the printer
carriage and revolutionizes professional color workflows by
automating media profiling. It allows users to automatically
generate custom RGB ICC profiles for their preferred
media and provides accurate measurements for printer
calibration that delivers print-to-print and printer-to-printer
color consistency. Also, with the optional HP Advanced
Profiling Solution, you can edit and modify existing profiles
and create CMYK profiles.
HP’s 8-ink printing system is made up of the exclusive
HP Vivera pigment ink formulation technology with HP
70 Printheads, each printing two colors of ink with
1,056 nozzles per color and the HP Three-Black Ink set.
Ensures exceptional color accuracy and consistency:
a valuable tool for graphic designers and prepress
professionals who need repeatable results. The HP
Designjet Z series are also the first large-format printers
to employ HP Scalable Printing Technology, providing
superior reliability and optimized ink consumption.
An extensive media portfolio: HP offers a portfolio of
9 photo papers, 10 digital fine art papers, 3 proofing
papers, 9 bond and coated papers and over 30 other
HP media. All have been tested with HP 70 Vivera
pigment inks to deliver consistent, museum-quality prints
that withstand the demands of handling, display and
storage expected of professional prints.
High-quality creative prints, prepress proofs and technical images
Proofing
• Have proofs approved in record time:
colors stabilize in less than 5 minutes.
• Print consistent and accurate colors
across a wide range of media, thanks
to automated printer calibration and
ICC profiling.
• Produce high-quality black-and-white
proofs: The 8 HP Vivera pigment inks
include three blacks that give excellent
gray neutrality.
Display graphics
• Print full-color, long-lasting posters,
banners and displays on a wide range
of media.
• Create persuasive marketing collateral,
point-of-sales material and tradeshow
displays with photo-quality images and
consistent, accurate colors.
Design
• Make an impact by presenting
concepts in large format and with
accurate colors right from the start of
your project. The printer covers over
80% of PANTONE colors.
• Get consistent colors, print after print
and from one printer to another, thanks
to automated printer calibration.
Commercial photography
• Create neutral black and white prints.
No need to waste ink when changing
between matte and glossy papers: all
three blacks are always on board.
• Produce consistent and accurate color
photo proofs, thanks to the printer’s
built-in calibration technology and
broad color gamut.
• Print on almost any media—the printer
creates media profiles for you and you
can use thick stock of up to 500 g/m2.
Technical presentations
• Produce impressive renderings and
presentation panels with superior
quality, consistency and durability.
Three-black ink allows for greater realism
•
in renderings with metal or stone.
Images are smudge-resistant to minimize
•
damage from repeated handling.
Mapping
• Maps and satellite images show more
detail and gradations thanks to small
drop size and precise placement.
• Output resists fading and is water-
resistant, so maps can be used in the
field.
• Colors are consistent, so subtle
differences can be seen and studied
over time
