FABRIC PRINTING – HP STITCH S500 DYE-SUB PRINTER

Streamlined fabric printing
Deliver top-quality fabric printing: dye-sublimation as well as direct-to-fabric. Dye-sublimation printing is now more reliable and predictable than ever. Automatically detect and compensate up to 30% nozzles out, prevent future failures with HP Smart Services, and solve technical problems anytime, anywhere with HP PrintOS cloud-based technology.
Print at high speed and produce richly saturated colour with the symmetrical 2xCMYK printhead configuration. Print an entire shift unattended or overnight with large media rolls and large ink supplies. Stay in control and maximise uptime with realtime fleet management and HP Smart Services.
Fabric printing from one single device on both transfer paper and direct-to fabric. Save time by eliminating manual interventions with automatic printhead maintenance and cut your media costs by managing low-grammage papers with confidence.
Reliable colour for fabric printing
Get accurate colours over time, even as environmental conditions change, with the built-in spectrophotometer. Automatically detect when a colour is out of gamut and get the closest visual match with PANTONE® emulation. Easily create colour profiles for fabric printing in half the time or use finished profiles from the HP cloud-based library.

¹ The colour variation inside a printed job has been measured at 6-pass mode on transfer media and also in direct-to-fabric situations within this limit: maximum colour difference (95% of colours) <= 1.5 dE2000. Reflective measurements on a 943 colour target under CIE standard illuminant D50, and according to the standard CIEDE2000 as per CIE Draft Standard DS 014-6/E:2012. 5% of colours may experience variations above 1.5 dE2000. Backlit substrates measured in transmission mode may yield different results. Results are dependent on sublimation process variability.
² Papers are hygroscopic materials. They can absorb or lose moisture depending on external humidity conditions. A low level of substrate’s moisture and external relative humidity is always recommended when printing on paper based materials. Recommended external relative humidity is between 25% to 50%.
