“The debut of new HP PageWide XL printers is another giant leap on the HP journey to offer continued innovation in large format printing for the designers of the future,” said Guayente Sanmartín, General Manager and Global Head, HP Large Format Design Printing. “The breakthrough PageWide XL platform with even faster printing speeds will also help our customers move the needle for business with immediate monochrome and color prints delivered from one unique printer.” 

Reinventing technical production printing with the Power of One

With more than 5,000 units shipped and 3 billion ft² (300 million m2) printed since the HP PageWide XL printer launch  in 2015, more customers are discovering the value the market-leading 6 HP PageWide XL printers bring to businesses worldwide. HP PageWide XL printers do the job of two printers in a single device, providing both monochrome and color prints at breakthrough speeds: the Power of One.

The HP PageWide XL 5100 prints at speeds up to 20 D/A1 pages per minute with quick 28-second first page out,  and the HP PageWide XL 6000 at 24 D/A1 size pages per minute with a 25-second first page out.
