Office printing has never been faster – introducing HP PageWide

HP is reinventing business printing with its new and unbelievably fast range of PageWide business printers.

Based on industrial printing press technology, the PageWide printers are able to print at a speed of up to 6,900 A/A4 color pages per minute.

For office printing, PageWide offers the best energy efficiency and fastest printing speeds, and even lower operating costs compared to OfficeJet printers, HP said at the launch in Lisbon.

HP PageWide Technology is a proven, reliable scalable print technology that has delivered more than 140 billion high quality digital pages via HP printers including large format printers and web presses.

“PageWide is a third technology that we now offer in addition to LaserJet and OfficeJet printers,” said Robert Dinkelacker, HP General Manager Printing for Middle east, Meditteranean and Africa.

Early next year, HP will further expand the reach of PageWide Technology to redefine the copier market with a new portfolio of A3 printers and multifunction printers (MFPs).

Product pricing and availability

The new HP PageWide business portfolio will be available through channel partners and at select retail stores in South Africa from mid-April 2016, Dinkelacker said.

The new HP PageWide business printers include:

• The HP PageWide Enterprise Color series includes the HP PageWide Enterprise Color 556 sfp and HP PageWide Enterprise Color MFP 586, which will cost upwards from about R12 500 and R32 700 respectively.
• The HP PageWide Pro 500 series includes the HP PageWide Managed P57750dw MFP and the HP PageWide Managed P55250dw sfp, which will be available as part of Managed Print Services contracts.
• The HP PageWide Pro 400 series includes the HP PageWide Pro 452dw sfp and the HP PageWide Pro MFP 477dw, which will cost upwards from about R6,800.
• The HP PageWide 300 series includes the HP PageWide 352dw sfp and the HP PageWide MFP 377dw, which will cost upwards from about R5,500.

This new portfolio increases the number of managed devices designed for contractual channel partners and managed print services engagements, allowing HP channel partners to provide:

• Low cost of operation with HP’s highest capacity supplies
• A three-year print head warranty
• Higher speeds and RMPV on select models
• Integration with HP JetAdvantage Management and third-party tools.

“By optimizing managed HP PageWide devices for contractual agreements, HP provides channel partners with new opportunities to deliver higher customer satisfaction,” HP said.
