The 126-inch (3.2-meter) HP Latex 1500 Printer offers a robust, affordable super-wide printing solution, providing fast turnarounds on a broad range of indoor and outdoor applications, including PVC banners, self-adhesive vinyl, textiles and double-sided prints.

Printing at speeds up to 74 m2/hour (800 ft2/hr) in outdoor production mode and up to 45 m2/hour (800 ft2/hour) in indoor mode, the printer maintains quality print after print with 1200 dpi HP Thermal Inkjet printheads, auto nozzle replacement, an optical media advance sensor (OMAS) as well as an embedded spectrophotometer. The device also features the productivity benefits of third generation HP Latex technology, delivering prints that are completely dry and scratch-resistant immediately after printing.

Customers can also select from a variety of add-on options with the flexibility to only install the features that address their business needs. Options include:

• A dual-roll kit, which maximizes productivity and unattended production on vinyl and other media up to 1.6 meters (64 inches).
• In-line slitters that simplify post-processing by slitting output while printing.
• A roll-to-freefall kit, which allows users to start finishing initial prints while the job is still in progress.
• A double-sided day-night kit that enables users to automatically print double-sided backlit applications for color-accurate outdoor advertising displays in any light, frontlit or backlit.
