HP: Largest Commercial Printer Upgrade In A Decade

[Techtaffy Newsdesk]

HP has launched new HP Officejet Pro and HP LaserJet printers and content management solutions, in what the company says represents its largest upgrade to commercial printers in almost a decade.

Todd Bradley (Executive vice president, Printing and Personal Systems, HP): HP is offering new ways to print that have not previously been possible.

HP Officejet Pro X Series desktop printers and multifunction printers (MFP) deliver up to twice the speed at up to half the printing cost compared with color laser printers in their class. This new class of devices is powered by HP PageWide Technology, the next-generation inkjet platform for small work team printing. The HP LaserJet Enterprise flow MFP M525c and HP LaserJet Enterprise color flow MFP M575c offer higher-performance document processing and sharing. The HP flow MFPs can be integrated with content management solutions based on software from Autonomy, an HP Company, either on-site or via the cloud.

The HP Flow CM Professional brings enterprise-class content management to growing businesses, with security features that also support leading banks, legal firms and stock exchanges. The HP Flow CM Enterprise is composed of a set of enterprise content management (ECM) offerings for large organizations.

HP also launched two additional series of  HP LaserJet Pro printers printers for SMBs.
