Hewlett-Packard announced the worldwide availability of its HP DesignJet 488CA series large-format printers for graphics customers. HP also introduced two new media, HP Design Heavyweight Paper and HP Design Glossy Paper, to support the new HP DesignJet ColorPro GA printer. Engineered as part of the HP DesignJet ColorPro GA system for high performance B+/A3 conceptual proofing, the media supports the system's ability to simulate offset printing with color accuracy. To optimize this simulation, the printer must first be calibrated using one of the two new medias. HP Design Heavyweight Paper (C6790A) consists of 100 sheets of 13x19˝ bright-white, matte-finish paper. HP Design Glossy Paper (C6791A) consists of 50 sheets of 13x19˝ photo-based paper, designed for graphic designers seeking up to full-bleed, photo-realistic proofs that mimic offset printing.
