Embrace a more sustainable approach with energy efficient printers2, water-based inks, and odorless prints3that let you reach more indoor spaces. Plus, with our simple take-back programs, eligible HP supplies and printing materials can be easily returned or recycled.
What areHP Latex Inks?
Each drop of ink contains three key elements:
Liquid ink vehicle (65% water, wetting agent, and humectant)
Pigment particles
Latex polymer particles
HP Latex Technology uses Aqueous Dispersion Polymerization to produce more durable prints
Application phase
The liquid ink vehicle carries latex polymer and pigment particles to the print media surface.
Drying phase
Radiant heat and forced airflow evaporate most of the water—leaving a continuous polymer layer.
Curing phase
Latex particles form a durable layer to protect the colorant, resulting in dry, ready-to-use prints.
No special ventilation4
No HAPs5
