12 Ink Palette
The HP Z3200 features a palette of 12 Vivera pigment inks including: Blue, Green, Magenta, a newly formulated Chromatic Red, Yellow, Gray, Photo Black, Matte Black, Light Cyan, Light Gray, and Light Magenta. These superior inks yield long-lasting gallery-quality prints in black and white and color. Additionally, a Gloss Enhancer adds superior gloss uniformity and minimizes bronzing on most glossy photo papers. Expect rich, dark blacks on matte and glossy papers.
Advanced Printing Technology
Six print heads, each assigned to 2 colors, contains 2112 nozzles (1056 per color). Three heads lay down 4-picoliter sized droplets in Light Cyan, Light Magenta, Light Gray, Photo Black, Enhancer, and Green. Another three lay down 6-picoliter sized droplets in Magenta, Yellow, Matte Black, Red, Green, and Blue. An Optical Drop Detector (ODD) prevents nozzle clogging.
Network Connectivity
The Z3200 comes with 256MB standard memory and an 80GB Hard Disk Drive. The HDD effectively boots up as a computer on your network. This printer contains an HP Embedded Web Server and is compatible with Windows, Citrix MetaFrame, and Mac operating systems.
Simple Calibration and Profiling
Calibration and profiling are made simple with HP DreamColor Technologies and its embedded automatic spectrophotometer from X-Rite, which insures both color consistency and color accuracy. It takes the cost, effort, and guesswork out of printer color management. You are never more than a few mouse clicks from a professional ICC profile customized for your printer, paper, and environmental conditions.
Easy Paper Handling
One of the advantages with this size printer is that you can use roll media up to 24" width. The roll paper holder is at the back, taking both 2" and 3" core size rolls. The paper is simply fed into the back loading slot. At the front, there is a robust print catcher that folds out to prevent prints hitting the floor. For sheet fed paper, the loading tray/guide folds down.
Wide Variety of Media
The Designjet Z3200 includes support for more than 50 types of HP large-format printing materials, including HP's new Baryte Satin Art Paper, Fine Art Paper, HP Everyday Pigment Ink Photo Papers, HP Premium Matte Photo Paper and HP Premium Semi-gloss Proofing Paper. The Z3200 also delivers top-quality images on HP Hahnemuhle Art Papers, Banners and other media.
Productivity Software
The Z3200 comes with a powerful software package that includes Printer drivers and the HP Printer Utility which includes the HP Color Center. The enhanced HP Color Center offers a single point of control for all color-related functions. From there, you can download or easily create your own Paper Presets, and have the option of more control using advanced settings.
