The HP Latex R530 is a versatile hybrid printer designed to provide print service providers with a single solution for printing on both rigid and flexible media. Its hybrid configuration features a flatbed for direct-to-substrate printing and a roll-to-roll system, enabling businesses to diversify their product offerings without investing in multiple machines. The printer utilises water-based HP Latex inks, including a high-opacity white ink, to produce durable, high-quality graphics on a wide array of materials such as foam board, acrylic, wood, glass, PVC, as well as traditional flexible media like vinyl, banners, and textiles.
Engineered as an entry point into rigid printing, the HP Latex R530 supports substrates up to 1.6 metres wide and 50 mm thick. The inclusion of HP Latex White Ink is a key feature, known for its resistance to yellowing over time, allowing for high-impact graphics on coloured and transparent media. The water-based formulation of the inks ensures prints are odourless and meet stringent environmental standards, making them suitable for indoor applications including retail displays and interior decor.
The printer is designed for ease of use, with automated maintenance routines and simple media loading processes for both boards and rolls. It offers productive printing speeds to meet business demands for various applications, from standard signage to high-value decorative panels. Integration with HP PrintOS allows for cloud-based job management and monitoring.
