Overview

When it comes to color accuracy, productivity, and affordability in an inkjet printer, the 42 inch Z6100, model Q6651A, from HP should be your top choice.  Perfect for digital print shops, sign shops, quick printers.

The Q6651A printer from HP incorporates the same Vivera Inks as in the Z2100 printers as well as the built-in Gretag-Macbeth Eyeone Spectrophotometer to assure maximum color output and consistency. In addition the Q6651A 42 inch Z6100 printer adds a dual swath technology that makes it the fastest inkjet printer in its class.

 

Features & Benefits

  • The Q6651A uses HP's Vivera inks that produce a rich color palette of fade-resistant colors (up to 200 years) and color accuracy driven by HP and other technologies including a built-in Gretag-Macbeth spectrophotometer for keeping colors on the mark.
     
  • The HP Z6100 42 inch beats the competition for speed by using a dual swath technology that lays down a line of print up to 1.8 inches wide in a single pass.
     
  • The Q6651A moves fast so it has to do a better job of media handling if it is going to stay on track. An Optical Media Advance Sensor physically measures the transport of media as it moves through the paper path. It accurately adjusts the movement of the paper or media in real-time to assure its correct placement.
     
  • Finally, for its productivity and versatility the HP Z6100 42 inch is very affordable. List Price is $9,995.00, Meridian's price is a good deal better and we will beat any reasonable competitive bid. Check our specials to save up to an additional $4000.
