“We are delighted to note a sustained and healthy growth in the installed base across the country,” said Devang Karia, country manager, large format design, GSB, HP India. “The PageWide portfolio offers a compelling proposition against LED with the fastest large-format production printing available in colour and black-and-white enabling reprographic houses, print service providers, enterprise central reprographic departments and print corners to produce computer-aided design drawings and opens up new business opportunities with GIS maps, point-of-sale applications and posters with high speed, versatility and productivity.”

Karia said the company is confident of a sustained and high double-digit growth of its installed base.

As HP PageWide XL portfolio offers fastest large-format production printing in colour and black-and-white, it ends up doing the job of two printers.

Traditionally, monochrome-only LED printers dominate the production printing market. This means, a converter also needs a large-format inkjet colour printers to handle colour jobs. The PageWide printers consolidate workflow to deliver mixed black-and-white and colour prints in half the time it would take to collate documents produced on multiple printers.

In addition, a full portfolio of scanning and finishing solutions, including the HP DesignJet HD and SD Pro Scanners and new PageWide XL accessories, such as the online folder, top stacker and high-capacity stacker, enable customers build efficient end-to end workflows.
