Follow-up hidden rewards look at large format printer market

As a large-format color output center that provides high-quality image output, color rendering output, exhibition design and application, geographic information system diagram output, large-format poster printing, outdoor billboard production, etc., only with excellent print quality and flexible operation , Low-cost, high-speed graphics, a variety of adjustable printing modes and two kinds of output devices for indoor and outdoor large-capacity ink supply methods, can be even more powerful, contact high-precision quality of the output business, continue to have from all walks of life Stable customer base.

Over the years, we have used and contacted many brands of large-format printers under the recommendation of peer friends and the media. These products bring unprecedented convenience to everyone, and their functional differences are different in terms of increasing subsequent follow-up returns. A colleague joked that picking a good device was like picking a virtuous and helpful person, not only in show but also in wisdom, smart and capable, good at managing money, and able to cut costs and increase revenue.

Indeed, we also share the same deep feelings about this. It is really far from knowing the horsepower. It will take time to see its nature.

See the domestic large-format printing market competition

The domestic large-format printer market is still in its infancy, and the application in the CAD field is relatively mature, while the GIS and GA fields are becoming popular with the strong participation of some manufacturers. At present, its market share in large format printers in China exceeds 80%. If the market is divided according to technical fields (mainly including CAD, GIS) and graphic images (GA), the application of domestic large-format printers in the technical field currently accounts for about 90% of the total, and HP’s market share in this area is also It has accounted for about 90%, which is ingrained; HP's share in GA is also about 60%. Immediately following HP, it is ENCAD. This professional printing peripheral enterprise in the United States, despite being not very large in scale, has considerable strength. In 1998, it occupied 15% of the domestic large format printer market, ranking second in the industry. Bit.

High-speed, smart printing reduces subsequent use costs

This year, some of our peers highly recommend the HP designjet 5000 series large format printers. We carefully understand its technical background. The original HP designjet 5000 series uses HP's advanced JetExPress technology, each 25 mm wide print head. There are up to 512 nozzles, allowing the printer to run with a 20 mm wide ink coverage for each pass. At the same time, the ejection frequency of ink droplets is as high as 15,000 times per second, which ensures that the HP disignjet 5000ps has an extremely fast print speed. It has built-in Adobe Postscript3 RIP, including a fast processor (PowerPC755@392MHz) with more memory (128MB or 192MB) and larger hard disk (20GB), so that processing speed has been greatly improved, the fastest comparable to CP The series is 10 times faster. With these data support companies tried the HP designjet 5000 series. After a period of use, we found that the HP designjet 5000 series was relatively expensive at the time of purchase. However, in the long run, its intelligent design can save manpower resources. Energy-saving design can greatly reduce follow-up consumables expenditures. The performance can flexibly meet customer needs, enabling us to quickly recoup our investment and generate substantial profits.

Let's talk about the high-return efficiency of HP's wide-format printer's most widely known high-speed printing. The HP designjet 5000 series features a production-grade print speed of up to 52.86 square meters per hour, a super large width of 152 centimeters, and beautiful photo-like printing. Quality, in addition it is equipped with an HP designjet network print server that is up to 4 times faster, thus completing data transfer faster. Because it has already reached the production-level print speed, it caused us to be overwhelmed by the slow print speed. The phenomenon of losing some customers no longer occurs, and we have played in some new areas due to quick release and high quality. Market. Of course, there is also a reduction in manpower expenditure. It is not necessary to wait for the printer's slow work as usual as it used to.

In addition, the HP designjet 5000 series print heads with smart chips adopt HP fault-tolerant printing technology, which not only guarantees print quality, but also enables them to have a longer service life. Under normal circumstances, they can print 1360CC to 2000CC inks, which reduces our cost of use. Its unique ink and print media usage monitoring capabilities help staff arrange print jobs scientifically, use media properly, and reduce costs.

HP's advanced thermal ink-jet printing technology makes the droplet size only 12pl, coupled with a unique halftone dithering algorithm, can very accurately control the amount of ink used in each map to minimize the amount of use per unit area. Reducing the cost of printing for us; the HP designjet 5000PS ink system is a modular ink system that consists of an entire system of small ink cartridges, print heads, and cleaning tools. Cartridges or print heads can be replaced individually depending on usage, with each color cartridge or print The head is also independent, not only provides the staff with great flexibility, but also reduces the use of ink system into a one, and can guarantee that the print head is in the best working condition; each color is 680CC high-capacity ink cartridge than similar The products are much larger, which not only meets the large workloads we routinely perform, but also rapidly reduces the cost of ink.

The rewards of multiple solutions

The HP designjet 5000PS large format printer is equipped with not only a standard parallel port, but also an up-to-date HP designjet network print server. It can easily connect with various hardware systems and accept services from HP's chain through the network. The format is more direct and more. flexible.

Not long ago, the company adopted the just-released "HP-Jinho" digital proofing solution, which is based on the industry-standard Jin Hao Express RIP, with HP's large format color inkjet printer HP designjet 5000, plus Developed with precise color management technology. Jinhao large format digital proofing system output prototype looks exactly like the traditional proofing, its low cost, high speed, high output stability features can save us a lot of time and money. Jinhao large-format digital proofing system is also very good as a large-format color inkjet system. The output of color inkjet is accurate, bright colors and clear text.

The whole set of digital proofing system only needs 12-18 million yuan to meet the requirements for proofing of full-width printing format, eliminating the huge investment of hundreds of thousands to millions of traditional printing techniques (proofers and printers. Platesetters, stencil makers, punchers, etc., and the company's free office space of 10 square meters is sufficient, and this system has no roar of machines that is ideal for office environments. It uses a large-format printer to directly output proofing digitally to replace the lengthy proofing process of traditional film making and printing. The program eliminates the influence of external photographic elements such as humans and greatly increases the stability of the proofing output; it greatly shortens the proofing process; at the same time, it can significantly reduce proofing costs by digitally modifying the proofing work, and its printing cost is 60 yuan. Two square meters of proofing are used for proofing, while traditional proofing requires 500 proofs to get four proofs. The profit brought by this can be imagined.

Easy operation and high performance reduce staff expenses

In use, we use all of the DTP&PS RIP software to operate in a bright room without the need of a dark room. The Monte Carlo software allows layout design, typesetting, pre-print proofing of finished products, and output of color separation films to be completed at one time. Staff who do not need professional computer knowledge can also master the operation of this system, thereby eliminating the company's training costs for personnel. Because the operation is performed in the bright room, it is possible to sample at any time or correct the color and quality on the screen before making the final product, which naturally saves a lot of cost and time.

The aforementioned Jinhao large-format digital proofing system also has an unmatched output speed. Its output device uses the HP designjet 5000, so its output speed is extremely fast, and outputting an off-color proofing is only needed. 5 minutes. Digital proofing does not require filming, printing, and printing, and can be directly printed out as electronic proofs. A 90-page A4 format color magazine requires only one worker to complete in 3 hours, significantly reducing the number of proofs. Labor costs.

Cost-saving high compatibility and flexibility

Because the HP designjet 5000 series is equipped with a wide range of drivers, the software we use today and in the future can be easily compatible with it, and whether it is working on Windows, Macintosh or Unix, HP has a corresponding driver for use; HP The specially developed Auto CAD driver satisfies the multiple needs of our engineering field customers. This kind of convenience makes us really become the master of the equipment, not because of the defects of the equipment that force the company to bear unnecessary expenses and personnel investment after purchase.

Not only that it is also compatible with other brands of media, any Hewlett-Packard print quality certified media, Hewlett-Packard will put the print color profile of this print media on the website (Design/JET online) open to HP large format printer users We can download the print color profile of this segment to the HP large format printer for the best output, so that we have more choices according to the capital, cost and required for each business. Quality to select different brands of print media, instead of using Epson printers as before, due to device incompatibility, Epson's standard print media must be used, which in turn leads to costly waste when doing low-margin business.

Similarly, HP's large format printers can also be compatible with other manufacturers' inks. The replacement of the ink heads is also very simple and easy. It is not like Epson can't dismantle the ink heads by itself. It must be paid for by manufacturers. The item saved our company a large amount of consumables and maintenance expenses.
