    HP unveils new ink-based printing technology
    Offers industry’s most complete set of options for enterprise and small and mid-size customers
    Products using this technology would redefine business printing with better printing speeds, operating costs and reliability.HEWLETT-PACKARD has unveiled an ink-based printing technology, the HP Edgeline, specifically designed to handle high-volume workloads of businesses.According to HP’s internal research, high-volume office printing, industrial printing and retail printing solutions will represent an estimated $30 billion-plus market opportunity by 2009.Explaining the features of Edgeline technology, the HP Imaging and Printing Group Executive Vice-President, Vyomesh Joshi, told a group of visiting presspersons in San Francisco recently, that this spring, HP would unveil the patented technology in the first device that combined the benefits of the ink and laser.Products using this technology would redefine business printing with better printing speeds, operating costs and reliability. At the same time, the text and graphics would be of “excellent print quality” and this was made possible partly with the use of specially formulated HP Vivera inks.The technology used page-wide print heads to distribute ink rapidly and precisely in one pass.”With the Edgeline announcement from HP, we believe that the promise of inkjet for wide deployment in the higher end of the workgroup is close to being realised,” said Charlie Corr, group director, InfoTrends.
