Hewlett-Packard Company has unveiled an all-new family of photo-quality HP DeskJet printers designed to enable customers to create brilliant, image-rich projects at home and in the office by establishing a new value standard for HP.
The newly designed products are the HP DeskJet 895Cxi Professional Series printer, the HP DeskJet 710C and HP DeskJet 420C printer. Together with the DeskJet 690C and DeskJet 720C printers, the new HP DeskJet family will build upon the success of the 55 million other DeskJet printers HP shipped during the 10 years it has been producing its top selling DeskJet products.
"This year HP is celebrating the 10th anniversary of the DeskJet printer by introducing its most powerful line-up yet," said Steve Midgley, Hewlett-Packard marketing manager, printers and peripherals. "The original DeskJet printer was a good basic, text-oriented product. Today, every product in this award-winning line-up inspires people to be creative by enabling them to easily integrate photo-quality images into everyday projects."
HP DeskJet 895Cxi Professional Series printer - the business partner for every job around the office
The HP DeskJet 895Cxi Professional Series printer is your business partner that does wonders for office productivity and, through its networking feature set, handles multiple users with ease. The product will be in South Africa during November 1998.
The HP DeskJet 895Cxi Professional Series printer offers printing performance to meet the business demands of a small office or workgroup with exceptionally fast print speeds of up to 10 pages per minute (ppm) for black text and 6 ppm for colour. Moreover, it is ideal for small workgroups by offering optional network connectivity via HP`s JetDirect 170X print servers. It also offers Universal Serial Bus (USB) connection for easy daisy chaining of multiple peripherals.
The HP DeskJet 895Cxi Professional Series printer also features new printing functionality including poster and N-up printing. Poster printing allows users to create large-scale posters by printing segments of an original page onto multiple A4 pages. Those pages are then reassembled, much like a puzzle, into a large-scale poster. N-up printing or handout printing condenses multiple pages of text and images on to a single page thus saving time and ink.
The printer features HP`s award-winning Photo Resolution Enhancement technology (HP PhotoREt II) colour layering technology. HP PhotoREt II colour layering technology uses a specially designed colour cartridge to produce the smallest ink drops in its class, significantly increasing the number of colours printed per pixel. The result is a more vivid colour output, lighter tones, and smoother graduations between tones without having to sacrifice print speed.
HP DeskJet 710C - the flexible partner that helps you work hard and play hard
The HP DeskJet 710C printer is your flexible partner that offers great results every time. The HP DeskJet 710C is fast at up to 6 ppm in black and 3 ppm in colour whilst at the same time offering whisper-quiet operation. It supports HP PhotoREt II colour layering technology delivering photo-quality printouts without cartridge swapping and achieves great looking results even on plain paper.
The HP DeskJet 710C printer will be available during October 1998. This printer is the perfect solution for the diverse needs of families who want to get great results even on plain paper. This ideal feature set makes the HP DeskJet 710C printer HP`s " best-buy" printer for the home.

The HP DeskJet 420C printer is your affordable friend which handles text documents and fun projects right out of the box. The HP DeskJet 420C printer will be available in stores during October 1998.
