The Hewlett-Packard Designjet Z3100 24" Photo Printer incorporates innovative print technologies to produce projects with color that can resist fading for as long as 200 years. It uses a 12-ink system, including HP Vivera pigment inks and the HP 70 Gloss Enhancer, and HP Quad-Black Inks help you create beautiful black and white prints and achieve truly neutral grays under different lighting conditions. It also provides you with continuous tones, uniform gloss and rich blacks, making it ideal for high-quality art reproduction, photography and proofing applications.
Whether you're in the business of printing signage, photographs or fine art, you need accurate and repeatable color output - print after print, and printer to printer. That's why the HP Designjet Z3100 Photo Printer incorporates the industry's first embedded spectrophotometer on a printing device of its class. Mounted on the printer carriage, the spectrophotometer intuitively acts like a human eye, measuring the color of each page and making adjustments so color output matches the original, print after print. And it's all done automatically and within milliseconds. Using Eye-One Color Technology from GretagMacbeth/X-rite, the spectrophotometer helps make color matching simple and accurate throughout the printing process. Regardless of the paper you choose to use, this precision tool enables automatic color calibration and easy ICC profiling, letting you create color profiles in minutes, not hours.
With large format printing, you can easily manage output on media that spans up to 24" wide. You can also push beyond the limits of traditional papers, choosing from the widest range of media options on the market. This includes more than 30 options in the HP media portfolio. To further increase media choice and flexibility, HP has partnered with Hahnemuhle Fine Art to make Hahnemuhle's entire portfolio of digital fine art media types fully compatible with the HP Designjet Z Photo Printer series.

These inks deliver an exceptionally broad color gamut for photographic and graphics art applications, superb neutral tones, and deep blacks on matte, glossy, semi-gloss, and fine art papers. The incorporated Quad-Black ink set delivers true gray neutrality under different lighting conditions and produce smooth continuous tones and deep rich blacks.
