Q How do I know how much ink optimizer should be used and can I adjust the levels
manually
The correct use of optimizer depends on the media, speed and amount of ink. In a halftone printer, the RIP would have had
to choose the optimizer levels many times by trial and error. With contone printing the printer knows the exact levels of
optimizer to ensure the best levels of image quality. HP Latex Optimizer is an integral part of the printing system and ink set
design. Using the correct amount of optimizer will provide optimal IQ at the high speeds that the printer is capable of.
Underusing optimizer is likely to result in poor IQ (high levels of ink bleed and feathering). Optimizer level can be adjusted by
the user but we only recommend this this more experienced users.
Q What are the environmental characteristics of HP Latex Optimizer?
HP Latex Optimizer has the same environmental characteristics as the 6 color inks.
Water-based HP Latex Inks – no special ventilation, no hazard warning labels, no HAPs, nickel-free.
HP Latex Inks are UL ECOLOGO and GREENGUARD Children & Schools Certified.
Prints meet AgBB criteria and are rated A+ according to Émissions dans l’air intérieur.
Media
Q We currently use cheap banner media, do you have a list of these that you have
tested and that is compatible with the Latex 300?
HP continually updates the HP media solutions database with ongoing testing of new media. If you use a media that is not
in the database you may create a new or clone a generic profile from the substrate library. Then use the on board print
saturation test together with adjusting curing levels to see what best result you can achieve for that specific media.
Q What about printing banners with high levels of plasticizers, is it any different on
the Latex 300 Printer series
Printing performance will always be affected when printing with banners with plasticizers, even in solvent printing
technologies, however with a lesser effect than HP Latex. Media suppliers are constantly looking at ways of improving their
composition to make the interaction with their media easier for better results. We currently experience similar performance
to the HP 260 and HP 280 Latex printers.
Q How many media profiles can I find on the media solutions locator?
Approximately 250 will be available and intend to add more as they are tested. Note that those profiles will be usable for
any RIP due to printer being contone
Q Will we have 3M matched components system (MCS)?
No, not at the time of introduction.
