At ISA Sign Expo 2025, HP will announce the HP Latex 730 and HP Latex 830 Printer Series, its latest generation of water-based HP Latex large-format printing solutions. Following last month’s innovations announced at HP Amplify — including the all-in-one HP Latex R530 and HP PrintOS Production Hub — the unveiling of the new series reinforces HP’s ongoing commitment to innovation in Large Format printing, delivering an unrivaled portfolio of hardware, software solutions and services.

The HP Latex 730 and HP Latex 830 are designed to deliver high-impact print quality, enhance productivity and costs for small and medium-sized Print Shops (PSPs) while continuing to differentiate with a sustainability edge. 

High-Value Output with Consistent Quality

With the new colour pipeline, HP Pixel Control, the latest generation of inks and printhead architecture, these advanced printers deliver elevated print quality with maximum consistency.

HP Pixel Control is the digital colour pipeline that enables PSPs to deliver a more robust and consistent image quality at a lower number of passes, allowing customers to print uniform solid colours and greater detail. Additionally, enhanced colour consistency and the ability to create colour profiles with the HP Embedded Spectrophotometer allows PSPs to confidently repeat print jobs across various media types without compromising quality. 

These printers are a powerful tool for diverse printing needs. Equipped with HP Latex Ink to deliver vivid colours and universal user-replaceable HP Latex Printheads to deliver sharp 4-point text, PSPs can print a wide range of applications – including branded campaigns, décor, and titled graphics – benefiting now from automated double-sided printing.

“One of the top highlights I’m seeing with this printer is that I’m getting finer details, banding reduction and text sharpness at lower pass modes”, said Andreas Griess, Owner and Managing Director of DCO Digitaldruck Centrum Oldenburg GmbH.

Optimised Productivity and Reduced Waste

The new HP Latex Series is engineered to simplify production and optimise printing processes. Rapid production speeds significantly reduce printing time, while instant drying prints eliminate waiting times so more jobs can be done in less time.  When coupled with the recently introduced HP PrintOS Production Hub software, PSPs can further enhance their operations by simplifying print workflows, order management, and remote production from a centralised, real-time platform.

Productivity and time-saving innovations have been considered at every step of the printing process, from spindle-less front-loading to facilitate quick and easy media loading, to the new output platen which minimises material waste by allowing tighter media control of each print job. PSPs can also optimise inventory management with the new universal printheads and a new long-life maintenance cartridge with an extended lifespan by at least 50%.  The HP Latex 830 is enhanced to further reduce running costs, featuring 3-liter HP ink cartridges that can be replaced without halting operations.

Each enhancement delivers a smoother, more efficient workflow that enables faster job turnaround and lower total cost of production – ideal for smaller teams when managing multiple jobs in high-mix, fast-paced large format print production.

“With the new HP Latex 730 and HP Latex 830 series, the beauty is on the inside. It’s the key things that really make a difference, from our new colour pipeline HP Pixel Control to the new output platen that enables PSPs to print from the leading edge, we’re bringing innovation in this new series to deliver unrivalled quality, enhanced production and sustainability” said Daniel Martinez, Global Head and General Manager of HP Large Format Business.

Leading the Way with Sustainable Solutions

Furthering HP’s commitment to operational efficiency and sustainability, the HP Latex 730 and 830 join the HP Latex 630 as EPEAT Climate+ registered printers, the only printers in the signage industry with this certification. The HP Latex Series supports a more comfortable work environment while helping PSPs meet the growing demand for sustainable, high-impact print applications with water-based, odourless, and UL ECOLOGO-certified HP Latex inks, low emissions, and compatibility with fiber-based recyclable media.

PSPs can also advance their sustainability journey with the Sustainability Amplifier program software, which offers self-assessment tools, personalised recommendations, and expert-developed best practices to improve their environmental impact. Plus, reduce plastic waste with returnable supplies, including the new maintenance cartridge, via HP Planet Partners.

Preston Jordan, Owner and Founder at US-based Digital Precision, a full service environmental graphics production house highlighted the importance of today’s innovations reflecting the growing demand for sustainability, Jordan highlighted “Corporate clients are increasingly interested in sustainability. They’re inquiring about actions to take and how to incorporate sustainability into their marketing messages. They aim to communicate technological efforts to meet current sustainability expectations in an unsustainable industry.”

The world of garment printing is evolving rapidly, introducing innovative technologies that make printing on textiles faster, more efficient, and more versatile than ever. Among these advancements, Direct to Garment (DTG) and Direct to Film (DTF) printing stand out as game-changing methods for producing vibrant, high-quality designs on a variety of materials.

Whether you’re a seasoned professional or exploring new ways to expand your printing business, understanding new technologies is key to staying ahead in a competitive industry.

In this blog, we’ll break down how DTG and DTF printing work, explore the benefits of each, and show you how SAi Flexi DTF DTG software makes these processes more streamlined and accessible than ever.

Ready to dive into the details? Let’s get started.

Direct to Garment (DTG) Printing

Direct to garment printing, often known as DTG printing, is the method of using a computer to transfer a digital image to a specialised printer that jets ink directly onto a textile or garment.

The way direct to garment printing operates is different from traditional screen printing in that you can swiftly print intricate images in numerous colours thanks to the relatively new technology. The print heads of a DTG printer spray CMYK ink and opaque white ink onto the surface of a garment. The ink dries and clings to the fabric by being heated, keeping the print in place.

Direct to Film (DTF) Printing

Direct to film printing is an even newer addition to the garment/textile printing industry. The process is slightly different from DTG in that, as the name implies, the design is not directly printed into the material but instead printed on a film before being transferred using a heat press.

The most notable advantage DTF has over DTG is that it allows you to print on most any type of fabric, such as polyester, nylon, rayon, spandex, cotton, etc. In DTG printing the only reliable material to print on is cotton.

SAi Flexi Software for DTG/DTF Printing

Direct to Film and Direct to Garment printing is one of the fastest-growing segments in our industry. SAi Flexi software for DTF DTG printing makes it easier than ever to diversify your business. A new, expanded feature set in Flexi simplifies artwork design and file preparation for DTF DTG printing, streamlining your workflow and saving you time on each job.

Benefits of SAi Flexi for DTF DTG Printing:

Easy to Use Interface

All DTF DTG tools are conveniently organized under one tab, so you won’t waste time scrolling through menu bars to find what you need. User-friendly dialog boxes allow you to quickly make changes to your artwork files. With Flexi, you spend less time preparing jobs and more time printing.

Versatile White Ink Workflow

White ink is an integral part of DTF DTG printing but can tricky if you don’t have the right software. Flexi gives you different workflow options for generating white layers quickly and easily. Whether you are working with .PNG or .TIFF files that have transparent backgrounds or artwork that contain no white at all, Flexi gives you the tools create transparencies, add masks, and assign white output channels with just a few clicks. For more precise output, you can also use Flexi to create multi-layer artwork with white on a separate layer from spot colours. Flexi gives you the versatility you need to easily handle different types of files without wasting time.

Higher Quality Prints Using Ink Removal

Everyone loves graphic tees, but no one wants a stiff, heavy print on their shirt. If you have a large print, you can give it a softer feel by using Flexi’s special DTF|DTG feature to “Remove Data in Texture Patterns”. This feature allows you to add squares, circles, or dash lines to your pattern. You can adjust the size and spacing of these elements to so less ink is deposited, giving your prints a high-quality, softer texture.

Less Material Waste – Preview Before You Print

Ink and media are expensive, which is why you want to make certain your job is set up correctly before you print. Flexi lets you preview each output channel within the Production Manager interface. Not only can you see how the white layer will print but you can also adjust the white ink density using a simple slider. With these Flexi tools, you can make certain the job is right without wasting ink and media.

Best of all, our textile design and printing software is available on a low-cost monthly subscription plan that easily fits your budget.

In the world of wide-format printing, colour management is not just a technical detail - it’s a cornerstone of quality and consistency. Whether you’re creating vibrant marketing materials, detailed fine art prints, or large-scale signage, ensuring accurate colour representation is critical to maintaining brand integrity and customer satisfaction.

The Challenges Of Maintaining Colour Fidelity

Wide-format printing comes with unique challenges. Variations in media types, ink formulations, and environmental factors can all affect colour output. Without proper management, what looks perfect on a screen might appear dull or inconsistent when printed. For businesses, this can lead to wasted materials, increased costs, and dissatisfied clients.

How ONYX Solutions Address These Challenges

ONYX’s award winning software simplifies colour management with powerful tools designed for precision and consistency:

  • ONYX ColorCheck: This feature ensures colour accuracy by verifying output against industry standards. It allows you to detect and correct inconsistencies early, preventing costly reprints.
  • Advanced Profiling Tools: ONYX provides robust profiling capabilities that adapt to various media and printer combinations. These tools help create and maintain colour profiles that guarantee accurate reproduction, no matter the material or application.
  • Named Colour Replacement: Maintain a library of brand-specific colours to ensure every print adheres to exact branding requirements, essential for corporate identity and marketing campaigns.

Tips For Achieving Optimal Colour Output

  1. Create Accurate Profiles
    Accurate ICC profiles are essential for reliable printing. Use profiling tools to match your printer, ink, and media, ensuring vibrant and consistent results tailored to your workflow.
  2. Calibrate Regularly
    Printers and monitors naturally shift over time due to environmental changes and usage. Regular calibration helps maintain accuracy, especially when switching to new substrates or working in different conditions. ONYX Thrive’s ‘ColorCheck’ simplifies this process by creating a baseline swatch to detect variances and ensure consistency.
  3. Use ONYX Tools
    ONYX software offers advanced tools like ‘ColorCheck’ and G7 calibration to monitor and adjust output quality. These features make it easy to spot and correct issues early, keeping your prints sharp and consistent.
  4. Understand Your Media
    Each substrate has unique properties that affect how it interacts with ink. Testing and fine-tuning your profiles for different media ensures the best results, whether you’re printing on paper, vinyl, or specialty materials.

By combining these strategies with ONYX tools, you’ll maintain flawless colour consistency and deliver standout prints every time.

Despite its size, the construction industry has long faced a productivity problem. In 2023, $13 trillion was devoted to construction projects globally, according to McKinsey. By 2040, the industry is predicted to grow by 70%. However, engineers and contractors are already struggling to meet today's project demands

The labour market is fiercely competitive, with shortages in essential roles like engineering and project management. Workforce shortages, retirements, shorter job cycles, and competition for talent have led to a decline in skills and experience. Consequently, construction productivity rose by only 10% between 2000 and 2022, compared to a 50% productivity improvement of the total economy, based on research from McKinsey.

Despite investments in digitalisation, manual processes still dominate workflows, risking human error and creating information siloes. Digitising the construction workflow end-to-end is essential for dramatically reducing the efficiency gap, which could create an estimated $1.6 trillion in additional value and meet half the world’s infrastructure needs.

Introducing HP Build Workspace

Launching today at HP Imagine, HP’s annual product innovation event, HP Build Workspace is a new mobile cloud collaboration platform that brings together all the essential stakeholders on complex building projects, such as urban planning, including architects, designers, contractors, and city planners. By simplifying complexity, improving communication and automating manual processes between the office and field sites, HP Build Workspace reduces construction project lead times from three days to as little as 20 minutes, depending on design complexity.

With seamless integration between digital and physical workflows, the HP Build Workspace platform also features HP Print AI capabilities and enables AEC professionals to:

  • Effortlessly capture and organise site observations
  • Vectorise their technical designs using AI
  • Share floor plans
  • Enable real-time feedback
  • Automate field reports

Connecting Construction Site Layouts with HP SitePrint 3.0

In July 2024, ACCIONA delivered the design layout for the Alentejo Central Hospital 6x faster than manual methods and over 25,000 sqm of partition walls thanks to HP SitePrint. This is an example of how our connected technologies can significantly boost productivity in complex construction projects. We believe our innovations have the power to address the construction industry's productivity challenges, and our customers are already demonstrating what's possible.

HP Build Workspace combines three key innovations for an integrated, digitized and efficient construction solution:

  • HP SitePrint, a robotic solution that prints complex construction site layouts with pinpoint accuracy, increasing productivity up to 10x compared to manual layout techniques (1).
  • The print point of the HP SitePrint 3.0 is now up to 30% faster, offering boosted navigation speed and improved robotic capabilities to level up efficiencies in onsite operations (2).
  • Additionally, we are working with large HP SitePrint customers on a Proof-of-Concept to check surface flatness, which will be available as a subscription service in selected markets by 2025.

Simplifying Your Printing Experience

The DesignJet T200/T600 Printer series 2025 edition is our most sustainable, intuitive, and optimised large-format printer yet, offering reduced energy consumption and minimising plastic waste by more than 50% with new molded fiber packaging (3). AEC professionals can print digital plans on paper with ease using HP Click Driver for real-print previews from any Windows 11 application. Already in beta in the US and Europe, we intend to scale these AI capabilities to the UK & Ireland soon and roll out worldwide starting next year.

1. Based on data from HP SitePrint customers – comparing HP SitePrint’s performance to manual layout techniques used for the same job, including the customer’s estimation (time/resource) for manual layout based on experience working on similar projects. HP’s data typically finds manual layout methods average between 25m2 and 35m2 covered per hour, with a crew of two people. HP SitePrint’s performance averages between 180m2 and 300m2, with one operator. Exact improvement results will vary from project to project and can be influenced by multiple factors, such as the line density or the dimensions of the site.

2. Productivity improvements of up to 30 percent are in comparison to the performance of the previous software version, VP2.0. These results were obtained from conducting internal tests, where SitePrint printed CAD files with average conditions, including element density per area and printed linear density per area, representative of real user plots across various applications. Actual productivity gains may vary depending on specific customer applications and the unique characteristics of each job.

3. The HP DesignJet T200/T600 Printer series 2025 Edition plotter series use EPS-free packaging with molded pulp cushions made from recycled fiber-based material. The plastic reduction is expressed as a percentage of the total packaging plastic weight. The reduction varies depending on the printer model, with at least a 53% reduction in the new 36-inch model and at least a 72% reduction in the new 24-inch model, compared to the previous T200/T600 models.
