Powered by High Definition Nozzle Architecture technology, the maximum print speed enabled will be up to 244 metres (800 feet) per minute, while still delivering the high print quality HP customers depend on today.

High Definition Nozzle Architecture technology will be incorporated into all HP Inkjet Web Press platforms, including the HP T200, T300 and T400 Inkjet Web Press families and those sold through resellers. Current customers can upgrade to the new technology. HP T200, T300 and T400 series Inkjet Web Press customers have printed more than 90 billion A4 equivalent pages since 2009 according to HP.
