HP DesignJet Z6 Z9 FAQ's

HP DesignJet Z6 44″ – Precision Printing with 6-Colour Vivid Inks

The HP DesignJet Z6 delivers sharp detail, smooth gradients, and high-definition output. Designed for photography, fine art, GIS maps, and graphics, it uses HP Vivid Photo Inks with a 6-colour system, optimised by HP Pixel Control and HDNA printhead technology. This printer provides professional results on a wide range of media, from lightweight bond paper to heavy fine art stock.


CMY Inks – Core Colour Performance

Cyan
Cyan provides the foundation for blues, greens, and cool tones. Combined with yellow, magenta, and chromatic red, it delivers vivid and colour-accurate results.

Magenta
Magenta is one of the primary inks in the system, helping to produce reds, purples, pinks, and blues. It combines with Chromatic Red to extend the colour gamut and achieve warmer tones.

Yellow
Yellow adds brightness and durability. When combined with cyan, magenta, and chromatic red, it creates vibrant greens, oranges, and highlights.


Black Inks – Depth and Definition

Photo Black
Optimised for photo and fine art applications, Photo Black produces deep, rich tones on glossy and coated media, enhancing contrast and shadow detail.

Matte Black
Designed for matte and uncoated media, Matte Black ensures sharp text, defined graphics, and glare-free results.


Chromatic Red – Extended Colour Gamut

The addition of Chromatic Red expands the Z6 colour range, enabling more saturated reds, oranges, and warm tones that are hard to achieve with standard CMYK inks. This helps reproduce digital and photographic work more accurately, while also improving Pantone colour matching.


Professional Results Across Applications

The HP DesignJet Z6 is engineered to handle complex GIS files, high-resolution photography, and fine art prints. HP Pixel Control ensures smooth gradients without the need for light inks, while dual drop technology provides precise detail. Prints are also water- and fade-resistant when paired with the right media, making them suitable for indoor displays and short-term outdoor use.
