Easiest/best white ink experience due to transparent ink maintenance with Automatic Ink Recirculation System between the HP Latex 832 Ink Mix and HP 832 White Latex Ink Cartridge. This ensures white ink is constantly circulating and doesn’t settle. It’s easy to remove the white printhead from the carriage and store it in an offline rotation chamber when not printing with white ink. This avoids unnecessary white ink waste and prevents the white printhead from getting clogged because of its dense white ink chemistry. All white print modes are available at different white ink densities to get different levels of opacity (spot, underflood, overflood, and 3-layer—up to 260% white ink density).

Based on internal competitive analysis with public information. Applicable to HP Latex technology compared to competitive large format printing alternatives using solvent and UV technologies. See individual product data sheets for more information at hp.com/go/latex.
