HP’s Officjet X585 MFP
The MFP X585 and X555 are powered by the OEM’s PageWide Technology.
HP announced the two new machines by noting that they can “handle rigorous printing demands at up to half the cost per page of lasers”, with the Officejet Enterprise Color MFP X585 and X555 utilising the OEM’s PageWide Technology, which “takes proven, advanced commercial printing technologies and scales them to a new class of enterprise printers”.
HP added that the machines are “enterprise ready” and are capable of printing at “twice the speed and at up to half the cost” of laser printers, with the same interfaces used as “12 million HP Enterprise LaserJet printers” as well as firmware that allows for enterprise software and solutions to be “easily accessed through one button” on the machines.
The PageWide Technology meanwhile, which has been used on the Officejet Pro X machines, has been scaled up to “expand choice for enterprise customers”, with the printers offering “greater cost savings with the lowest cost per page” in addition to a “spot or accent colour mode”, which includes a “small logo or line of hyperlink text”. Other features include print speeds of 70ppm in general office mode, which is “up to twice as fast as in-class competitive printers”, and 84 percent less power consumption.
Dion Weisler, Executive Vice President for HP’s Printing and Personal Systems division, stated: “Never before has an ink-based device been fully capable of meeting the performance requirements that large organisations demand. CIOs and IT decision makers can be confident that the HP Officejet Enterprise series provides employees exceptional enterprise-grade security, fleet management and mobile printing options along with the fastest speed and lowest total cost of ownership.”
