NP45 Series (HP)

NP45 Series

The NP45 Series offers the convenience and versatility you’ve come to expect from thermal inkjet, at an attractive price. Print heads are available in widths from 0.5″ to 4.0″, and multiple heads can be configured to print different regions across a page or web. The NP45 Series is based on the 600 dpi, 0.5″ 45a cartridge technology from Hewlett Packard. It offers all the advantages of cartridge-based printers — economical, low-maintenance, compact, and simple to change between ink types or colors. Ink is supplied via disposable or bulk cartridges. Aqueous inks are available for porous stocks and solvent inks are available for coated and non-porous stocks.
