HP has announced the launch of new HP DesignJet Z6 and Z9⁺ PostScript Printer Series Plus Edition at FESPA, marking the next step in the evolution of its Large Format Printing graphics portfolio. Designed for small and medium-sized businesses, including photo studios, retailers, copy shops, education facilities, and architecture firms, the new printer combines high image quality and simplified workflows in a unified platform. This launch reinforces HP’s broader momentum in Large Format Printing, including continued innovation in HP PrintOS Production Hub workflow automation and increasing customer adoption of the HP Latex FS70 W. Built on a proven platform with more than 40,000 units installed worldwide, the new printers combine the strengths of the previous HP DesignJet Z6 and Z9 printers to expand access to professional photo-quality output across a range of industries.
The HP DesignJet Z6 and Z9⁺ Plus Edition are built for applications ranging from professional photography and retail graphics to posters and technical prints. Featuring HP Pixel Control technology and HP Vivid Photo Inks, the printers produce sharp detail, smooth gradients, and water- and fade-resistant prints.1 HP’s dual-drop technology also enables high-quality output without requiring light inks, helping maintain productivity across multiple media types. The HP DesignJet Z9⁺ Plus Edition Printer is designed for colour-critical applications, including professional photography and high-end graphics. It also features an embedded spectrophotometer for consistent colour calibration and optional HP Gloss Enhancer for improved gloss uniformity. New productivity print modes can increase output by up to 90 percent, while dual-roll support, automatic roll switching, and an integrated vertical trimmer help reduce manual intervention and post-processing time.
