HP Latex Technology advantages

Application versatility

Print on just about any substrate and get scratch-resistant, durable prints with HP Latex InksScratch resistance and image permanence testing by HP Image Permanence Lab. Scratch resistance is comparable to hard-solvent inks on self-adhesive vinyl and PVC banner. Scratch-resistance comparison based on testing third-generation HP Latex Inks and representative hard-solvent inks. Estimates by HP Image Permanence Lab on a range of media. Feature availability and related performance varies by printer, and may be optional. See individual products data sheets for more information at https://www.hp.com/go/latex.*.  With our high-efficiency curing system, prints come out dry and ready-to-use.

High quality and productivity

Get the color, quality, and consistency you expect with HP Latex printheads and the spectrophotometer. HP Latex Optimizer and our Optical Media Advance Sensor enable high quality even at the highest productivity levels.

Designed for end-to-end sustainability

Embrace a more sustainable approach with energy efficient printersSelect HP Latex printers are ENERGY STAR® certified, demonstrating superior energy efficiency. ENERGY STAR and the ENERGY STAR mark are registered trademarks owned by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.*, water-based inks, and odorless printsThere is a broad set of media with very different odor profiles. Some of the media can affect the odor performance of the final print.* that let you reach more indoor spaces. Plus, with our simple take-back programs, eligible HP supplies and printing materials can be easily returned or recycled.

What are HP Latex Inks?
Each drop of ink contains three key elements:

Liquid ink vehicle (65% water, wetting agent, and humectant)

Pigment particles

Latex polymer particles

HP Latex Technology uses Aqueous Dispersion Polymerization to produce more durable prints

Application phase

The liquid ink vehicle carries latex polymer and pigment particles to the print media surface.

Drying phase

Radiant heat and forced airflow evaporate most of the water—leaving a continuous polymer layer.

Curing phase

Latex particles form a durable layer to protect the colorant, resulting in dry, ready-to-use prints.

No special ventilationApplicable to HP Latex printers. No special ventilation equipment means air filtration systems are not required to meet U.S. OSHA requirements. Condensate collection systems are provided on some models. Special ventilation equipment installation is at the discretion of the customer— see the Site Preparation Guide for details. Customers should consult state and local requirements and regulations.*

No HAPsHP Latex Inks were tested for Hazardous Air Pollutants, as defined in the Clean Air Act, per U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Method 311 (testing conducted in 2013) and none were detected.*

Odorless printThere is a broad set of media with very different odor profiles. Some of the media can affect the odor performance of the final print.*

No reactive monomer chemistryPrinting with HP Latex Inks avoids the problematic reactive monomers associated with UV printing. Acrylate monomers present in uncured UV inks and UV-gel inks can damage skin.*

Ozone free

Water-based HP Latex Inks

Designed to avoid the hazards associated with solvent and UV curable without trading off performance.
