Company NR developed the unique technologies edgeline and Scalable printing technology for high-speed qualitative print with the large sizes documents and with low operating costs.
For the development was required 1,4 billion dollars. and more than four years of work. The purpose of studies was the creation of the united printing mechanism, which uses advantages of laser and jet technologies HP. The technology edgeline developed as a result made possible to considerably increase the speed of print and to ensure its exceptional quality.
For specialists HP it was possible to combine the best features of jet and laser print: high speed, quality of text and graphs, the low cost of printed page and minimum general operating costs.
The technology edgeline appears first in its kind : the printing heads are located throughout the entire width of sheet and in the process press moves only paper. A increase in the speed of print is achieved because of linear arrangement of large stationary print heads - inks are distributed throughout the entire width of paper at the moment of passage of sheet under the printing heads. As result - precise putting of inks on the paper and the maximum speed of print.
For devices, which use new technology, are intended the inks vivera, which ensure the maximum quality of print even on the usual paper. In contrast to the jet technology the inks do not penetrate the structure paper, but they are brought to its surface and are covered with special fixing agent for shaping of thin film. As a result even with the very high speed of print imprints leave from the printer by already dry.
The technology HP edgeline is developed the highly productive systems, utilized in commercial press, the industrial and office press in large volumes. The appearance of the first products with the use Of edgeline is expected soon.
