PREFACE

In this article I will be examining the HP Z3200, HP’s latest Large format printer. The Z3200 is essentially an update of the Z3100

released in late 2006. Externally the printer appears virtually identical to it’s predecessor, yet internally the printer has been revised and

upgraded. Perhaps the most obvious change Z3200 is the reformulated “Chromatic Red Type 73” cartridge which replaces the standard

“Red Type 70” of the Z3100. The Z3200 also benefits from numerous tweaks to the drivers, hardware, and printer firmware that con

-

tribute to creating a noticeable better product. Due to the many shared similarities between the Z3100 and Z3200 many portions of this

review are borrowed directly from my original review of the Z3100, all sections have been updated, the screen shots are new, and the

conclusions has been rewritten to reflect the most recent offerings from the competition.

INITIAL IMPRESSIONS AND SETUP

The Z3200 is a beautiful piece of machinery. If all it could do was toast bread it would still be an achievement in industrial design. Its

smooth black sloping lines give it an aerodynamic appearance, and I’m happy HP invested some time and energy into this aspect of their

product.

The box that the Z3200 ships in is identical to the Z3100 and HP again wins point in my book for best packaging design. The printer is

easily unpacked by one person with minimal difficulty. The shipping crate’s top is removed revealing the printer, and all the components

carefully developed to target a specific hue and increase the overall gamut of the printer. The additional hues make the translation of CMYK (or RGB) data, to ink on paper a bit more complex. The problem is that there are now more ways to produce the same color us - ing different mixes of ink. To pr...
