As a print service provider, you're always looking for ways to expand services and boost profits. That's why many companies like yours tap into the revenue potential of digital printing.

With the newly expanded selection of HP digital printers and presses, you can expand your service offerings to customers and prospects by taking on many jobs you couldn't produce profitably before.

As the world's first to offer small- to grand-format printers and presses in a complete digital graphic arts portfolio, HP gives you more choice and control over your business opportunities.

For example, with HP's recently introduced 64-inch HP Designjet 8000s and 9000s Printer series, you have the ideal tools to tackle the large-format, outdoor graphics market.

Now, you can expand services to include everything from personalized direct mail pieces and high-end photographic applications to fine art reproduction, point-of-sale posters and super-wide billboards. Further, with a complete line of commercial and industrial presses and printers for virtually any size application, you can get all your digital printing needs met from a single source: HP.

Count on HP color, quality and consistency

To meet the rising demand for personalized, targeted marketing materials across the full spectrum, you need the advanced capabilities of digital printing. To satisfy your discerning eye, you also need a high level of quality and color consistency.

That's where HP's color leadership and shared color management technologies come in. For example, HP's CMYK Plus technology empowers HP digital devices to produce output quality that rivals analog prints for rich hues and vibrant tones.

CMYK Plus also provides predictable and outstanding color across a range of HP devices. So, whether you're printing on HP Designjet printers or HP Indigo presses, you can have consistent, high-quality images and color reproductions across various graphic applications and formats.

HP provides industry-leading inks for each graphic arts application, including HP's new low-solvent inks for vivid, durable color posters and banners, liquid HP ElectroInk for excellent PANTONE® Color matching and premium color quality on HP Indigo presses, and HP Vivera inks for precise and long-lasting photo reproduction. There's also an extensive selection of quality media including HP Premium and HP Indigo printing papers, photographic papers, litho quality media, new outdoor signage materials, and metallics.

And, you can have all this without adding complicated procedures, like having to fine-tune graphic files for each printer. Designjet and Indigo products include AutoPANTONE, a time-saving feature that enables a single graphics file to feed different devices with consistent, predictable results.
