HP Designjet Z3200 - New HP Z series printer

Hewlett Packard (HP) recently announced the release of its new HP Z3200 photo printer. Available in 24" and 44", it is set to replace the current HP Designjet Z3100 series. The Z3200's notable improvements over the Z3100 include:

HP Z3200 Improvements:
  • Newly formulated Red ink (called Chromatic Red) --hopefully eliminating the Orange color problem on some Z3100's
  • Improved Pantone Matching
  • Updated internal software by ErgoSoft and Betterlight.com
  • StudioPrint RIP software is included from ErgoSoft
  • Eliminated pizza wheel issues of the initial Designjet Z3100
HP Z3200 Similarities to HP Z3100:
  • Speed: not any faster
  • ICC Profiles: same internal spectrophotometer
  • Inks: 11 colors still the same
  • Same outer look

There was a collaboration between HP and Nikon to create an end to end color management solution. The printer includes ErgoSoft's RIP - StudioPrint. There are additional features that work with Nikon D3 series cameras to manage your colors from the initial photographing to the printing process.
