Print Quality and Ink System
High-definition printheads work alongside HP Pixel Control to render tonal transitions, fine line work, and contrast without separate light inks. The six-colour system uses 300 ml HP 746 pigment-based Vivid Photo Inks across cyan, magenta, chromatic red, yellow, matte black, and photo black to produce water-resistant and fade-resistant output suitable for indoor and outdoor exposure.
