HP announces major advancements in its large format print strategy, the 100th installation of its HP Latex R530 Printer, customer’s 1000th order with HP PrintOS Production Hub, and the debut of HP PrintOS Software Suite.

Tailored for small and mid-sized print service providers (PSPs), the new software solution offers access to premium HP PrintOS Production Hub applications and HP Learn Premium content, with the objective to simplify production processes and unlock digital workflows. 

FASTSIGNS, a visual communications and signage company, has installed the HP Latex R530 into its production line, marking the 100th installation of the printer globally since its launch in March. This milestone reflects FASTSIGNS’ vision of advancing large format print through innovation.

Designed to eliminate key barriers in rigid printing for small and mid-sized print service providers, the HP Latex R530 is the industry’s only all-in-one compact HP Latex printer, offering a cost-effective and space-efficient entry point into both rigid and flexible media printing.

With features like seamless switching between substrates, vibrant color output and smooth gradients with HP Pixel Control technology, and built-in automation for recirculation and printhead cleaning, the R530 ensures consistent quality and minimal downtime. Its single-phase power system further enhances accessibility, making it a practical solution for space-constrained operations.

“By installing the HP Latex R530, we anticipate significant enhancements in both our production efficiency and pricing strategy,” says Steve Brennock, owner of FASTSIGNS-Tigard. “It helps us meet tight deadlines with confidence. Being able to print directly onto sign surfaces has significantly improved our turnaround times, and we are now able to offer more competitive pricing while maintaining high standards.”

“The HP Latex R530 reflects our focus on removing real-world barriers for print providers,” adds Daniel Martinez, SVP and division president, HP Large Format Printing. “Installing the 100th HP Latex R530 is a proud moment for our team and a testament to the value the HP Latex technology delivers for our customers. By combining versatility, quality, and ease of use in one compact device, we are helping PSPs unlock new applications and operate more efficiently – without compromising on sustainability.”

HP is introducing the HP PrintOS Software Suite, a stand-alone, software-only offering that provides affordable access to all premium HP PrintOS Production Hub applications and HP Learn premium content to streamline PSPs’ workflow from order to delivery.

Developed to support PSPs looking to digitize their operations without requiring new hardware investments, and engineered to simplify and streamline operations, the HP PrintOS Software Suite brings together order management, workflow automation, remote production control, and advanced training in one single intuitive platform.
