Expertise

The HP Scitex inks offering includes latex, solvent, UV-curable and water-based inks, all available in a variety of formulations. Used with
HP Scitex printers, the inks produce dry, ready-to-use, durable images with a large color gamut on a wide variety of rigid and flexible substrates.
The inks are designed for specific HP Scitex printing systems, ensuring accurate color reproduction and compatibility.

HP Latex Inks are designed to enable high-productivity, low-maintenance printing of a broad range of outdoor and indoor applications
across both coated and uncoated media. Designed to reduce the impact of printing on the environment, water-based HP Latex Inks, offer
the performance and durability of low-solvent inks. However, HP Latex Inks have no hazard warning labels, no HAPs, and are
non-flammable and non-combustible. No special ventilation is required.

Odorless prints are ideal for sensitive display areas. HP Latex Ink prints on HP PVC-free Wall Paper produce odorless indoor wall decorations
that meet the GREENGUARD Children & Schools standard for low emitting products and AgBB criteria for health-related evaluation of
VOC emissions of indoor building products. Prints produced on HP recyclable media can be returned through the free, convenient HP Large-format
Media take-back program, providing a compelling alternative for environmentally conscious customers.

Most solvent ink series offer a choice of ‘Classic’ and ‘Supreme’ grades, which are not simply ‘Economy’ and ‘Premium’ versions,
but are formulated to meet specific application requirements.

Designed together with HP Scitex solvent inks, the HP printing materials portfolio offers a full vehicle wrap solution. HP is the only
company that offers and warrants the entire printing system. The HP solution includes HP Air Release Adhesive Gloss Cast Vinyl
as well as the HP Clear Gloss Cast Overlaminate. The HP Performance Warranty covers image performance, durability, and clean removal
up to five years.

Strict quality-control standards

Most HP Scitex inks are produced by HP in our own state-of-the-art factories to strict quality-control standards. Each batch is tested and certified to meet an array of rigorous physical, chemical, and colorimetric specifications. Because the properties of ink can affect everything in the printing system — and hence productivity and output quality — every change in HP Scitex ink formulations undergoes exhaustive testing both in the laboratory and in production environments. This investment in quality control means that every liter of HP Scitex inks is optimized to perform to HP's exacting standards.

• Our ink manufacturing process includes more than 20 quality parameters, including color space, color strength, gloss, transparency, scratch resistance, durability, flexibility, adhesion, environmental legislation, shelf life, light fastness, abrasion resistance, viscosity, sensitivity to temperature, printer drying capacity, print speed, dot size, surface tension, particle size and more.

• As part of HP's long-term quality commitment, one liter of every batch of HP Scitex ink manufactured is kept for monitoring purposes.

• HP always keeps a two month stock of ink close to the customer, ensuring timely delivery.

• Plants that produce HP Scitex inks are ISO 9001 certified.
