When HP says they’ve built their most productive Latex printer ever, they mean it. The HP Latex FS70W is a game-changer for high-volume print providers who demand both speed and stunning image quality. Clocking in at up to 1,700 square feet per hour, this 126-inch superwide printer takes everything HP has learned over the past decade and turns it up a notch.
If you’re running demanding signage, wall graphics, or large-format jobs, this might just be the upgrade you’ve been waiting for. Let’s dive into what makes this printer so special.
A Decade of Innovation in the Making
Over ten years ago, HP introduced its first 3-meter, 126-inch Latex printer — the legendary HP Latex 3000. It was a milestone in the large-format printing world, known for its durability, water-based inks, and fast production speeds.
Since then, HP has kept improving the platform, but the FS70W represents an entirely new generation. It doesn’t just refine the 3000 series — it replaces it with something more powerful, scalable, and sustainable.
The FS70W was built for large print service providers who need to produce thousands of square feet daily without missing a beat. It replaces the Latex 3600 and introduces four major upgrades:
- Faster print speeds
- Enhanced reliability for unattended runs
- A scalable, future-ready platform
- An even stronger commitment to sustainability
Speed That Redefines Productivity
The HP Latex FS70W prints at 75 inches per second, a jump from the 55 inches per second offered by previous models. In practical terms, that’s real speed you’ll notice on every job.
For example:
- On self-adhesive vinyl, expect up to 980 sq ft per hour — an 18% speed boost.
- On canvas, it hits 1,259 sq ft per hour, a massive 52% improvement.
Beta testers report that the FS70W lets them reduce pass modes without losing image quality. So if you’ve been printing at 8 or 6 pass on your Latex 3600, you’ll get the same sharp output at 4 or even 3 pass on this model. That’s real-world productivity that goes straight to your bottom line.
Hardware Upgrades That Make It All Possible
So, how did HP pull off this speed increase without compromising quality? The secret lies in four major hardware upgrades that work together to keep prints consistent, fast, and hands-off.
1. Enhanced Printhead and Maintenance Access
- The redesigned front panel makes maintenance quick and easy — no more awkward access like the 3600 had.
2. Secondary Cleaning Roll System
- Replacing the old foam spittoon system, this new setup eliminates ink buildup, making long unattended runs more reliable.
3. Upgraded Ink Pumps
- These new pumps deliver faster ink flow to the printheads, helping the printer maintain high speeds without interruption.
4. Dual-Nozzle Cleaning Station
- Featuring dual water nozzles and dual hard wiper blades, this system ensures consistent printhead health and lasting image quality.
The result? A printer that can confidently run overnight while maintaining pristine output.
Built to Grow with Your Business
One of the most impressive parts of the FS70W is its scalable design. The “F” and “S” in FS stand for Flexible and Scalable, and HP is truly delivering on that promise.
If you already own an FS50 or FS60, you can upgrade them with the same kits that power the FS70W. That means you can match its print speeds and capabilities without buying an entirely new printer.
The FS70W comes loaded with:
- Boosted Print Speed Productivity Kit
- Jumbo Dual Roll Kit (two rolls up to 440 lbs each)
- High-capacity 10-liter ink system, featuring a new 6-liter white ink capacity
And HP isn’t stopping here. Future upgrades will allow today’s FS70W owners to scale even further as new innovations roll out. It’s a future-proof investment that grows with you instead of forcing you to replace equipment every few years.
Sustainability That Matters
HP has always led the charge on eco-conscious printing, and the FS70W continues that tradition.
Here’s how:
- Water-based, odorless inks with zero harmful VOCs
- GREENGUARD certified for safe use in schools, hospitals, and offices
- HP Planet Partners recycling program for consumables
- Upgradeable design that keeps massive printers out of landfills
By designing a platform you can upgrade instead of discard, HP gives sustainability a whole new meaning.
Who Should Invest in the HP Latex FS70W?
