This enables storage of large files and processing of complex print jobs. The noise level during operation is 42 dB, and in standby mode it is 32 dB, ensuring quiet operation. The power supply operates on an AC input voltage of 100 to 240 V at a frequency of 50/60 Hz. The power consumption is 100 W in standard operation, 10 W in sleep mode, and 0.3 W when switched off. The operating temperature ranges from 5 to 35 °C, with relative humidity during operation between 20 and 80 %. The storage temperature can range from -25 to 55 °C.

Technology Explained Simply

The printing technology is based on the Thermal Inkjet process, where ink is atomized into small droplets by thermal heating and precisely applied to the paper. The resolution of 2400 x 1200 DPI ensures high detail accuracy, especially for fine lines and shading. The six print cartridges enable a broad color palette and high color accuracy. The use of pigment inks for the Matte Black and Gray tones increases the durability of prints against light and moisture. The integrated Adobe PDF Print Engine ensures highest accuracy in reproducing PDF files, especially for complex fonts, PANTONE® colors, soft shading, overprint, and transparent areas. The print speed of 180 A1 pages per hour enables fast processing of large jobs.

Compatibility and Accessories

The printer is equipped with Gigabit Ethernet, enabling fast network connectivity. Support for HP ePrint and Wi-Fi Direct allows mobile printing from smartphones and tablets. The direct printing function enables printing without a computer. The software environment includes HP Click, HP mobile, ePrint, iOS/Android support, the HP Smart App, and HP Web Jetadmin.
