Alloys is pleased to announce a new 36-inch DesignJet portfolio that simplifies the printing needs of AEC (architecture, engineering, and construction) professionals who increasingly work in a hybrid environment, needing a high-quality printing experience whenever and wherever they are. The devices will also enable copy shops to better meet the requirements of AEC customers.
With 54% of AEC firms deploying a hybrid work policy, flexible working models are here to stay. This new approach has changed workflows, requiring aspects of the job, including large format printing, to be enabled in a hybrid environment. Because of this, users need
intuitive print technology that meets their technical needs, whether that is printing A3-A1
CAD drawings or architectural boards, all without compromising on security.
“More than ever, AEC pros, or the copy shops that serve them, need easy-to-use tools that help them be more productive and deliver high-quality work, whether they are in the office, at home, or somewhere remote,” said Daniel Martinez, General Manager, Large Format Business, HP. “With our new HP DesignJet lineup, alongside software such as HP Click and the HP app, users can print, monitor jobs, and check device status from virtually anywhere, as well as collaborate on documents with colleagues.”
Sustainable and Secure
With the new 36-inch DesignJet portfolio, HP helps customers go beyond and run their businesses while achieving their sustainability goals. Thanks to HP’s Forest First initiative, with every page a user prints with the HP DesignJet T850/T950 or XL 3800, HP collaborates with non-profit organisations, to ensure forests are restored. The HP DesignJet T850 and T950 are both made from at least 35% recycled plastic, use carboard-based cartridges, and can be scheduled to power on and off automatically to preserve energy consumption. The HP DesignJet XL 3800 is comprised of at least 33% recycled content.
HP has also prioritized cyber-security, with HP Wolf Security protection built into the HP DesignJet T850/T950 and XL 3800. HP Wolf Security provides comprehensive endpoint protection and resiliency that starts at the hardware level and extends across cloud-based software and services, safeguarding an organisation’s PCs, printers, and people from cyber predators.
With additional enterprise-level Wolf security features, the HP DesignJet XL 3800 is also the world’s most secure large format printer, based on third-party analysis of security features available on the market.
