The 500 series is aimed at medium to large print-service-providers, with both the 560 and 570 allowing users to manage a series of jobs with more unattended printing—HP Latex Mobile means jobs can be managed away from the printer or overnight—and boasts usage modes with 50 percent more ink density.
But the most impressive new piece of technology from the print giant is the Latex 1500. On the back of the popular Latex 3000, the new super-wide machine is compatible with a range of indoor and outdoor applications such as textiles and PVC banners.

Xavier Garcia, general manager, large format printing division, HP, comments: “Many medium-to-large sign and display print providers are looking for solutions that can handle higher-production volumes and enable access to profitable applications.
