HP Introduces the FS50 and FS60: A New Era of Flexibility and Scalability in Latex Printing
This week, HP unveiled two new printers for the 3-meter (126”) width market: the HP Latex FS50 and FS60. But beyond the hardware, HP is signaling a major shift in their strategy for industrial printing. In this blog, we’ll explore the unique features of these new models, as well as HP’s game-changing approach to Flexibility and Scalability.
Introducing the FS50 and FS60
HP’s latest releases, the 126” Latex FS50 and FS60, are available in White and non-white models, providing four options: FS50, FS50W (White), FS60, and FS60W (White). If these look familiar, it’s because they share a design with the outgoing Latex 2700 series, yet there’s more beneath the surface. While these new models match the specs and speed of the 2700 series, they are backed by a new, forward-looking strategy.
What Makes FS Different?
The “FS” in the new series stands for Flexible and Scalable, indicating HP’s shift toward printers that not only serve today’s needs but can be adapted and upgraded over time. With this new line, HP is giving users the flexibility to choose their configurations and, more importantly, the ability to add new capabilities in the future through backward-compatible hardware and software upgrades.
Unpacking Flexibility: Customized Configurations for Today’s Needs
The FS50 and FS60 offer up to 16 unique configuration options. Buyers can customize features such as:
- Dual Roll Capability
- Heavy Roll Support
- 10L Ink Cartridges
- Ink Collection Kit for Mesh and Porous Media
- In-line Slitters
For those who want a fully-loaded option, the FS60 includes all available features plus two years of service support.
Scalability: Investing in the Future of Your Printer
HP’s FS series is designed with Scalability in mind. When you purchase an FS50 or FS60, you’re not only investing in the technology of today but also in future advancements that HP will develop. Rather than buying a new printer every few years, customers can upgrade their FS printers as HP releases new capabilities, adding years to the life of their investment and reducing waste. HP’s commitment to sustainable innovation means that users can keep their printers up-to-date without discarding older models.
A Sustainable Printing Solution
Sustainability has always been central to HP, from using recyclable materials in their inks and cartridges to eco-friendly printing technology. With the FS series, HP is advancing this mission further by helping customers avoid equipment turnover and waste. Instead of sending old printers to the scrap heap, users can continually renew and upgrade their FS models as advancements become available.
The Future of Industrial Printing
This new direction by HP is truly exciting for the printing industry. The flexibility and scalability of the FS50 and FS60 provide companies with a forward-thinking, sustainable approach to industrial printing. By investing in an FS model, you’re not just purchasing a printer but joining a journey of continuous innovation.
