HP expands laser jet MFP portfolio with new launches

Printing technology solutions provider, Hewlett-Packard (HP), today expanded its portfolio of laser jet multifunction printers (MFPs) with the launch of a new series of products with focus on enhancing manageability.

"The new print line-up, including Pro MFP M226 series, Pro M202 Print series and MFP M630 series, will come with enhanced manageability and security features to better manage and protect the print environment of small and medium businesses (SMBs) and enterprises," Parikshet Singh Tomar, director (Printing Systems - printing and personal systems), HP India, told mediapersons here.

While the MFP 2002 and M226 series were built for the SMB segment, primarily for one-two workforce offices, the M630 series, ideal for 10-plus users, was designed for the enterprises.

Stating that close to 50 per cent of people who carry smartphones wanted to print from their handsets, Tomar said the company had worked with Apple and Google on NFC (near-field communication) to enable users to print from iPhone 6 and mobiles running on Android Kitkat operating system.

"The M630 series comes embedded with the NFC feature," he said.

HP also introduced a new Tamper Evident Label to help customers identify original HP toner cartridges. The new Tamper Evident Label includes technology that responds to heat and water exposure as well as cuts or rips. It also features a security seal with colour-shifting features, he said.
