HP is pushing the boundaries of high-speed, high-quality print production with the launch of the HP PageWide T4250 HDR and HP PageWide T500M HD. Whether for direct mail, commercial print, or book publishing, these two new presses are built to help businesses say “yes” to more opportunities, all while improving productivity and sustainability, according to a press blog on the HP website.
The HP PageWide T4250 HDR: Unmatched Speed, Quality, and Efficiency
According to the blog, the HP PageWide T4250 HDR isn’t just a new press, it’s an enabler for printers to grow their business by printing more high-volume, high-coverage jobs. Designed for publishing, direct mail, and commercial print applications, the speed and consistency of the T4250 HDR is in a class of its own. This 42-inch web press doubles the productivity of its predecessor, the T485 HD. That means 20,000 B1 duplex sheets and more than 200,000 letter-sized duplex color pages per hour. Yes, per hour.
But speed isn’t the only story here. The T4250 HDR’s groundbreaking recirculating technology means every print stands out from the page with vibrant and captivating colors. The press also supports a wide range of media, from 40 to 350 gsm, so whether it’s lightweight direct mail or thick cover stock, the T4250 HDR handles it seamlessly. It meets the needs of brands looking for high-impact visuals across diverse formats.
The sustainability credentials are just as impressive, matching power efficiency and performance. The HP Brilliant B70 Ink formula significantly reduces drying time and boasts 50% lower energy consumption than its predecessor.
The most powerful word a print producer can say is “yes.” When they have the right equipment and capabilities, they can accept a broader range of work and get it done quickly. HP is pushing the boundaries of high-speed, high-quality print production with the launch of the HP PageWide T4250 HDR and HP PageWide T500M HD—both of which defy expectations in their print categories.
The HP PageWide T500M HD: A New Chapter for Book Printers
According to HP, if the T4250 HDR is the king of versatility, the HP PageWide T500M HD is the undisputed champion of book production. This 54-inch web press launches at a time when the publishing world is changing fast. Publishers are demanding shorter runs, quicker turnarounds, and minimal waste—and the T500M HD delivers on all fronts.
The T500M HD is explicitly built for high-volume monochrome trade book printing. Operating at 1,000 fpm (305 mpm), this press can churn out more than 5,000 six-by-nine-inch books per hour. That’s not just fast—it’s a game-changer for book manufacturers struggling with unpredictable demand.
The ability to print on standard offset media means operators can easily switch between digital and offset production lines while reducing paper inventory and streamlining labor resources. And because digital printing eliminates the need for aluminum plates, it significantly cuts material waste. These benefits stack up to realize the environmental advantages of industrial inkjet without compromising productivity or profitability.
