The HP Designjet L25500 printers requires a hot print zone (with additional airflow) to allow the
evaporation of the majority of the water in the latex inks. This feature, plus the new media supported,
changes a little the main contributors of the cockle control and media expansion from the former products
and also adds new issues such as the thermal marks. The platen gives a convenient shape to the heated
media, avoiding differential temperatures because of platen conductivity.
The main components for 60’’ SKU are:
• OVD & Platen assy 60 including:
• 7 DJ25500 printer platen + 1 OMAS platen + 1 interplaten 60 + 1 platen right end + 1 platen
