The HP Scitex LX850 Industrial Printer is a 126-inch (3.2 m) latex ink printer that delivers maximum versatility and productivity with multiple workflow features, including dual-roll, roll-to-free fall and roll-to-collector handling. The printer also offers double-sided printing capabilities with minimal operator intervention for blockout banners and a built-in ink collector for direct-to-fabric printing on flag fabrics. Delivering high image quality with up to 1200 dpi resolution and an embedded spectrophotometer, the printer is designed to produce a wide variety of high-quality sign and display graphics, including event graphics, soft signage, vehicle graphics, POP displays, double-sided banners and outdoor signage.

The HP Scitex LX850 Industrial Printer works together with HP LX610 Latex Scitex Inks, which produce rich blacks and glossy results on banners and self-adhesive vinyl. HP LX610 Latex Scitex Inks also offer display permanence and scratch, smudge and water resistance comparable to low-solvent inks and improved water resistance on fabrics. Alternatively, customers can install HP 3M LX600 Specialty Latex Inks to offer graphics backed by the 3M MCS Warranty, one of the most comprehensive warranties in the industry.

HP Latex Inks produce odorless prints, are nonflammable and noncombustible and, unlike many eco-solvent inks, they do not require hazard warning labels and contain no hazardous air pollutants. Additionally, no special ventilation equipment or external dryer is required for safe and productive operation, helping to keep energy costs down.

In addition to improving productivity, the printer has allowed print service providers to expand the range of high-end applications they can produce with a new built-in ink collector for direct-to-fabric printing on flag fabrics and double-sided printing capabilities with minimal operator intervention for blockout banners.
