New HP ColorSphere toner

Your prints will shine with uniform gloss and a dynamic range of color. The new HP ColorSphere toner features gloss levels that are significantly improved over previous HP color toners when printing on glossy paper. Improved melting and fusing technologies work in sync with the new HP ColorSphere toner to enable superior toner release and flow. The result is brilliant, intense colors and excellent photo quality output for your business documents. HPs new color toner enables a wider range of colors because each toner particle conforms to an extremely consistent size and shape. This consistency allows toner particles to be placed on the page with the precision needed to produce a wide range of colors with the most subtle differences of shade. HP ColorSphere toner is also designed to enable faster printing time. The toner particles are chemically grown around an optimally sized wax core, producing particle sizes that are designed to work with HPs fusing technology for faster printing without sacrificing quality.

When you print materials in-house, you have control over the process: you ensure that printing is effective, efficient, and affordable, and that any private company information stays safe. Printing frequently updated materials on-demand means that you can make changes at a moments notice and never waste printed material due to obsolete information. You also save the time and cost of inventory management. Plus, in-house marketing is easy with HP Marketing Assistant Software.
