HP PageWide T470S Press
Increase corrugated manufacturing productivity and optimize your print quality with HP’s technology innovations.
The web is rewound onto reels, which can measure up to 60 inches diameter, for downstream roll-red processing.
After the moisturizer, a festoon system called the web extender allows time for adequate moisture absorption before rewinding the printed material.
The moisturizer replaces any moisture that is lost during the priming, printing, and varnishing drying processes, and helps restore the paper to its original characteristics.
Overprint varnish (OPV) is applied as a flood coat and is dried using an integrated dryer. OPV may protect the print and enhance its visual appearance.
The Inline Process Control System uses high-speed cameras to capture samples of printed output to monitor nozzle health and ensure top inkjet print quality.
After printing, the paper passes through three high-intensity dryer sections that use a combination of infrared light and forced air to enable the ink to dry on the paper.
The curved arch design provides tight control of the paper tension for accurate printing while maintaining a very small printhead-to-paper spacing to ensure clean, sharp text and images.
The HP SmartStream Production Elite Print Server is a highly scalable server-based Digital Front End that rasterizes incoming artwork files and delivers data to the press in real time.
The pre-coater applies HP Priming Agent to the paper as a flood coat before printing. HP’s Priming Agent is an aqueous solution that ensures optimal print quality across a wide range of paper.
With print speeds up to 183m (600ft) per minute on 1.06m (42in) wide paper, the press can print on coated and uncoated papers ranging from 80 to 350 gsm, with a maximum caliper of 18 points.
End-to-End Solutions
Digital preprint
Preprint involves printing the top liner of a corrugated box in a roll-to-roll format before it is fed into the corrugator.
Thermal Inkjet
The thermal inkjet printheads on the T470S have 1200 nozzles per inch to help converters achieve offset quality, with sharp text and barcodes and smooth tone transitions.
