All you need to know about the HP DesignJet Z9+ 24-inch Photo Printer | W3Z71A

Description HP DesignJet Z9 FAQ's Colour Accuracy

HP DesignJet Z9+ 24-in Photo Printer

The HP DesignJet Z9+ 24-inch Photo Printer is part of the Z9+ series. It is the compact single-roll model with a 24″ print width. The series also includes two 44″ models, with one offering dual rolls and a built-in V-trimmer.

Model Highlight:
HP W3Z71A DesignJet Z9+ 24-in PostScript® Printer.

The Z9+ PostScript series is designed for professional photo and fine art printing. It delivers high-quality output faster, and with fewer inks.

Media Handling

This printer supports a wide range of media types. It can print on photo paper, canvas, adhesive media, banners, bond paper, coated stock, and backlit films. Media weights range from 80 g/m² up to 500 g/m².

Supplied with a 2″ roll feed spindle. An optional 3″ adapter expands compatibility with leading media brands like Hahnemühle, Canson, Innova, and Xativa. ICC profiles are available for many of these. HP also offers certified OEM media options.

Sheets can be loaded from the front, and for thicker boards, the rear platen provides a straight paper path, allowing for rigid stock. This allows direct-to-board printing up to 500 gsm.

Applications

The HP DesignJet Z9+ is versatile. It can produce professional photo prints, fine art, or short-term outdoor applications. With the right media, prints are fade-resistant and water-resistant.

Print Quality & Ink System

The Z9+ uses a 9-colour ink system with HP Pixel Control. This eliminates the need for light-colored inks. Dual-drop technology in the HP Printheads improves detail and smoothness.

It offers a wider color gamut with chromatic colors and RGB inks. A dedicated gray ink improves tonal range, unlike the Z6 series. Users can also add a Gloss Enhancer kit for superior gloss finishes.

Check the “Colour Accuracy” Tab for a snapshot of each ink, including HP’s market leading chromatic colours.

Performance & Security

The Z9+ can handle complex files thanks to its powerful processing architecture and the Adobe PDF Print Engine.

Security is built-in with HP Wolf Security. Features include:

HP Secure Boot
Digitally signed firmware
500GB self-encrypting hard drive with 256-bit AES encryption
Control panel access locks

Advanced security options include HP JetAdvantage Security Manager, whitelisting, PIN printing, and LDAP/Kerberos authentication. These protect against unauthorized access and data breaches.

Any Questions on the DesignJet Z6 or Z9 series, This comprehensive document covers all aspects of the series.

The HP DesignJet Z9+ offers a wide colour gamut, the HDNA print head technology delivers uplifted quality due to its unique technology, combined with a highly accurate colour set via the HP Vivid pigment ink range incorporating chromatic inks in addition to standard inks.

CMY Inks

CMY primaries – essential for building all secondary colours (greens, reds/oranges, warm tones).

Yellow – provides bright, durable yellow tones. Fired through HP’s universal printhead, it mixes with cyan, magenta, and chromatic inks to produce vibrant greens, reds, and highlights.

Magenta – one of the core subtractive primaries (CMY) in printing. Combined with cyan and yellow, it helps to produce the full spectrum of secondary colours (reds, purples, pinks, blues, etc.). In the HP Vivid Photo Ink set, the magenta ink also interacts with Chromatic Red and Chromatic Blue to further extend the colour gamut

Cyan – forms the foundation for greens, blues, and cool tones. Fired through the universal printhead, it mixes with yellow, magenta, and chromatic inks to produce vivid, durable, and colour-accurate results

Black and Black and White Photography

Outstanding Black and White is achievable through the 2 blacks and grey, in addition, to the optional Gloss Enhancer clear ink specifically for glossy media.

Photo Black – deeper, richer black tones optimized for photo, fine art & graphic printing, especially on photo papers or coated media (glossy, semi-gloss, satin and pearl) rather than matte.

Matte Black – designed for non-glossy media, fine text, graphics where glare should be avoided.

Grey – used often for neutral tones, smooth gradients, reduces colour casts in darks or shadow; it’s subtlety better than just using photo or matte black. Helps produce more even gradations in grey scale / shadows, avoiding oversaturation and unwanted colour shifts in neutral and shadow areas when using just the standard CMY and black inks.

Gloss Enhancer (optional) – This low cost addition when printing on glossy paper, areas with heavy ink coverage (like dark blues or blacks) can look shinier than areas with light coverage (such as highlights or mid-tones). The 747 gloss enhancer lays down a thin, transparent layer across the print surface to even out any differences. Makes the entire image look more consistent, professional, and photo-like.

Also reduces “bronzing,” a phenomenon where metallic-like sheen appears on dark areas when viewed at an angle. Giving prints a more natural, photo-like appearance.

Vivid Chromatic Inks

The addition of these inks provides a much wider colour gamut with more vivid colours and lets the printer reproduce more saturated tones, more vibrant reds/blues/greens etc. HP, state that DesignJets with chromatic RGB Vivid Photo inks have ~26% greater colour gamut compared to earlier models without those extra colours.

Better matching to RGB / Screen colours

If your wide-format print images are RGB-based (e.g. photography or digital work), then having extra inks helps you reproduce those colours more closely in print, reducing the difference between what you see on screen vs on the physical print. Due to the extra hues, you can match more Pantone colours or corporate colours more closely without needing to do special spot colour processes. (HP claims high Pantone coverage for printers using vivid photo inks).

Chromatic Red – Instead of mixing red from cyan + magenta (which produces a duller, less saturated tone), HP provides a pure red channel. This “Chromatic Red” extends the printer’s colour gamut — particularly in the saturated red, orange, and warm tones that are hard to reproduce with standard CMYK.

Chromatic Blue – developed to provide a wider colour gamut and more vivid blues: gives a more saturated, accurate blue than simply mixing standard cyan + magenta inks. This improves the blue in sky or water, for example. Offers higher contrast colour: increasing contrast and tonal gradation in blue-dominant parts of images.

Chromatic Green – get better print fidelity in green-rich images. Standard CMYK can struggle to produce very saturated greens without artefacts or loss of tone, the dedicated chromatic green helps produce more accurate, vibrant greens in photos, fine art and posters.
