Next-generation HP PageWide Technology—how does it
work?
HP PageWide Technology is the secret behind the exceptional speed and reliability of this
amazing MFP. The star player is a printhead that spans the entire width of the paper, enabling
single-pass printing at incredibly fast speeds. This is the same HP PageWide Technology found
in top-end digital presses.
The printhead contains a massive number of tiny ink ejectors—over 40,000 of them positioned
to span across the width of the page. As the paper passes under the printhead, ejectors release
a minute drop of black or colour ink at precisely the right location to form the printed image.
Unlike laser-based printers, where a laser beam must “write” a single dot at a time, or a
conventional inkjet printer, which moves the print mechanism back and forth, the printhead
with its array of ink ejectors remains stationary—only the paper is moving while ink is applied
across the page.
The MFP also performs continuous self-diagnosis, using special sensors to analyze the
miniscule ink drops as they leave the printhead. It then calibrates the system accordingly. This
calibration process is done in real time, resulting in optimised print quality at any given
moment. All of these complex processes occur at a breathtaking pace.
