In Pursuit of Productivity

HP sought to increase the quality, productivity and profitability of its flagship model by introducing the 5500 as replacement for the 5000, according to Alon Bar-Shany, vice president and general manager of HP’s Indigo Division.

High-definition dot placement technology increases the maximum output resolution to 1,200 dpi (with 2,400 dpi addressability), and a linework thinning function improves the reproduction of micro text and barcodes. Color quality is enhanced by the introduction of CMYKcm printing (and optional Photo Enhancement Server) and DreamColor color control.
