HP Vivera pigment ink
Work with millions of color combinations across
a wide color gamut and wide range of media.
The Original HP Vivera pigment inks include the
HP three-black ink set that produces a broad range
of blacks, subtle transitions, true gray neutrality,
and rich black density. Exclusive Original HP Vivera
pigment ink formulations are delivered by HP 91
Printheads that are designed to achieve precise,
accurate placement of smaller drops at high speed.
Each printhead prints two colors of ink with 1,056
nozzles per color. Working together, these components
produce a range of vibrant colors, smooth neutral
gray transitions, crisp text, and fine line accuracy
for a wide color gamut, incredible detail, and
photo-image quality.
Amazing color
The HP embedded spectrophotometer, with i1 Color
Technology from GretagMacbeth, is mounted on
the printer carriage for accurate printer calibration
measurements that deliver print-to-print and printer-to-
printer color consistency. It revolutionizes professional
color workflows by systematically creating media profiles,
allowing users to automatically generate custom CMYK
ICC profiles for their preferred media. Also, with the
optional HP Advanced Profiling Solution, you can edit
and modify existing profiles and create RGB profiles.
