HP Launches New Improved Black Ink Formula
November,
2007 – HP has announced a new and improved black ink formula for use in
selected print cartridges from August 2007. The enhanced HP Vivera
black pigment ink will deliver darker laser-quality text and improved
resistance to highlighter pen smear, making it ideal for printed
reports, articles, correspondence and promotional materials.Designed
for owners of printers using existing HP Inkjet print cartridges, the
new ink will be available with HP 132, 131, 130, 129 and 140 and 140XL
black inkjet cartridges with HP Vivera Inks, and will be available for
use across a range of hardware.
HP’s advanced printing
technology ensures that each document printed creates a sharp,
professional impression. It deposits densely packed ink drops on the
surface of the paper so that the text will not feather and the colour
will not bleed. When tested across 31 media types, including HP and
non-HP papers, new and improved HP Vivera black pigment ink was 13
percent darker than previous HP inks. This improvement was even more
dramatic when used with HP office media, which demonstrated that the
new HP Vivera black ink displayed up to 25 percent darker black text
when printed on HP Multipurpose Media and HP Office Media.
The
new and improved black ink also offers greater resistance to
highlighter pen smear, and the clarity and sharpness of the new ink
customers can draw attention to important information while keeping
numbers and letters easy to read.Plus, pigment inks dry quickly and
resist water, making it easy to use and store important papers.
Documents, awards and legal materials resist fading for decades,
helping to meet legal storage requirements.This new black pigment ink
is part of HP’s line of Vivera inks. These inks are uniquely designed
to meet the distinct needs of a variety of printing applications, from
photo and everyday home printing to professional photography, fine art,
graphics and office printing. The careful design and engineering of HP
Vivera inks, inkjet cartridges, printers, and everyday and specialty
papers assure HP customers of a convenient, reliable solution that is
tailored to address their specific printing needs.
