For companies engaged in manufacturing and distribution, time is money, so downtime is the worst possible scenario. Many of these companies find themselves continually frustrated by the frequent service required to keep outdated copiers — with their dozens of replaceable parts that can fail at any time — running.

Companies in these sectors also must continually update and modernize operations and processes to stay competitive, especially as companies undertake digital transformation initiatives and leverage the Internet of Things. Standalone copiers represent a potential bottleneck to the flow of data and information between paper-based and digital processes — and an often-overlooked security vulnerability that poses a risk to confidential business information, customer data, and intellectual capital.

The cost for professional-quality color output often results in a tradeoff that prevents companies from realizing the benefits of greater comprehension and collaboration that color provides. The new A3 HP Color LaserJet and PageWide multifunction printers (MFPs), however, bring much-needed innovation that crosses the barrier to affordable color for manufacturers and distributors. Disrupting traditional copier chokeholds, these HP smart devices are protected by the industry’s strongest security solutions and are designed for greater reliability, easier maintenance, and fewer replacement parts to help cut down on service costs.

Industry analysts rank HP as a leading provider of information technology and services to the manufacturing and distribution industry. The new HP MFPs improve collaboration and communications, and can integrate easily with document workflow processes to accelerate project completion, help companies deliver on time and on budget, and improve completion of jobs to specification.1

qMaximum uptime and reliability: With fewer parts to replace — HP PageWide MFPs have no drums, fusers, or developers — servicing is simpler and repairs are faster.2

Cloud tools and device-based sensing capabilities can monitor and diagnose many service needs to help minimize downtime and cut costs. HP Smart Device Services can anticipate parts servicing before a part fails and avoid premature ink and toner replace-ment. Workflow integration makes it easier to disseminate materials to team members on the factory floor or at a customer site, relieving typical bottlenecks of approvals and revisions.

Unmatched speeds: Timelines are critical, so printing accurately and professionally the first time saves time and leads to better use and allocation of labor hours. The 11x17 format of A3 MFPs enables sci-entists and process engineers to print, scan, and copy larger-format documents in high-resolution color and distribute them downstream as needed. One worker can scan, copy, or fax while print jobs are exe-cuting for others, saving time for quick changes to specifications and diagrams. Fast, two-sided printing helps save on costs and cuts down on the time needed to get documents to the job site.

No-compromise color: HP PageWide and Color LaserJet MFP produce premium, professional-quality color documents at a competitive low cost,4 empowering businesses to augment communications through color documents that lead to greater operational efficiency. Color makes it easier to facilitate understanding, track changes, and identify critical information quickly.5 This adds up to better returns, reduced human error, and less rework, cutting down on operational costs and reducing the potential for misunderstandings that could result in compliance violations. Options such as in-cave stapler stacker, hole punch, high-capacity staple/stack, and booklet makers make it easier and quicker to produce customer-ready packets in house, rather than through commercial printers.

Secure network access: Manufacturers deal with highly confidential customer data and intellectual property that are at risk of cyberat-tack. HP printers offer powerful security for any office, with features

that can detect and stop an attack as it happens. HP PageWide and LaserJet Enterprise devices fea-ture industry-leading embedded security features including Sure Start, run-time intrusion detection, and whitelisting, making them the world’s most secure printers.3 HP PageWide Pro devices feature secure boot and firmware integ-rity checking. Enterprise models can even self-heal from attacks automatically.

Environmental engineering: Designed to save energy, HP MFPs cut costs to boost operational effectiveness and profitability. PageWide MFP models are designed to use less energy than any other laser printer in their class. HP A3 PageWide products also perform

well across a variety environments, from clean rooms to dirty mines, factories, and construction sites.

It’s a new era for business. Manufacturers need powerful tools to help improve design, production, supply-chain management, and distribution. HP is reinventing copier technology with a wide range of Color LaserJet and PageWide MFPs that offer the best in security, productivity, and quality color at the lowest cost per page.

4 Comparison of HP PageWide Pro and Enterprise class devices, not sold under contract, with the majority of in-class color laser MFPs <$3,000 USD and color laser printers <$1,249 USD as of November 2016; market share as reported by IDC as of Q2 2016. Cost-per-page (CPP) reported by gap Intelligence Pricing & Promotions report of Oct 2016; comparisons for all supplies are based on published specifications of the manufacturers’ highest-capacity cartridges and page yield. Average yield based on ISO/IEC 24711 and continuous printing. Actual yield varies based on content of printed pages and other factors. For details, see hp.com/go/learnaboutsupplies.
