Firmware Update: HP Designjet z3200

Hello z3200 owners! It's that time again, HP has released a new firmware for your HP z3200 Designjet! Here are some of the key fixes included in this firmware:

• The name of the base media used to create a custom paper preset is now shown in the front panel of the printer when checking the custom paper preset details.
• Papers from the additional papers category will no longer be deleted after the firmware has been updated.
• The number of times that the error 81:01 can occur has been reduced.
• The message that explains to the customers how to deal with an out of ink cartridge while in the middle of a job has been localized to all languages.
• When the printer was printing a job on a sheet that had uneven edges, when the next print was on a roll of paper, the job was slow as the carriage frequently stopped. This issue has been solved.
• The option to ‘Reprint last job’ only worked for the internal prints, so it has been removed.
• A localization problem in Japanese that made it impossible to distinguish between different instant dry paper names has been corrected.
• Dry time settings in the front panel are now taken into account.
• Personal information has been removed from the accounting e-mail.

Have a great 4th of July weekend!

New! HP Designjet z5200 Wide Format Color Printer

HP has just released the new HP Designjet z5200! It's a smaller, less expensive version of the HP Designjet z6100. It uses smaller inks, but still has the same great image quality you've come to expect from HP's high end workhorse. While it isn't as fast as the z6100, it still has superb performance and would be a great alternative for any users in a small business who need high productivity equipment without the costs.
