All you need to know about the HP DesignJet Z9+dr 44-in PostScript® Printer with V-Trimmer X9D24A

HP DesignJet Z9+ V-Trimmer X9D24A – 44in PostScript® Printer | Professional Wide Format Printing

The HP DesignJet Z9+ V-Trimmer 44in Printer is built for busy print shops. This version includes the unique vertical trimmer, which saves time and reduces handling. Unlike other printers, it trims both horizontally and vertically, cutting to width as it prints.

Faster Finishing with V-Trimmer

The integrated V-trimmer is a game-changer. It cuts to the exact size you need from a larger roll. This feature is more flexible than standard borderless printing, where you are limited by the media roll width.

High-Quality Prints with Fewer Inks

The HP DesignJet Z9+ PostScript® series is designed for professional photo and art printing. It delivers outstanding colour and clarity with just nine inks. Thanks to HP Pixel Control and dual drop technology, it produces sharper details while using fewer cartridges.

Flexible Feeding and Take-Up Options

You can feed sheets from the front, or use the rear platen for thick boards up to 500 gsm. For roll-to-roll production, add the optional take-up reel for smooth post-print finishing.

  • High-definition photographic prints

HP DesignJet Z6 Z9 FAQ's

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.
