At Sign and Graphic Imaging Middle East 2017, HP Inc showcased a broad portfolio of its latest large-format products and solutions that demonstrated business and costs benefits to print service providers. The HP stand featured a custom-built lounge area decorated with latex printed materials, which demonstrated the printing capabilities of its latest products, catering to the interior design industry.

HP’s latex printing technology allows for businesses to transform the walls of residential, commercial, and consumer spaces, offering a new innovation to interior designers and decorators. The installation on the stand is of a lounge room decorated with latex printed application. The floor graphic, canvas, wallpaper, window blinds and sofa synthetic leather and textile cushions are all printed, using the latex printing method that is unique to HP.

Customers can choose from a wide range of flexible coated and uncoated materials and expand, offering unlimited opportunity to the interior world. HP Latex Inks offer the versatility to print on both coated and uncoated media while enabling high-speed, high-productivity printing. The water-based formulations of HP Latex Inks reduce the impact of printing on the environment.
