HP broadens portfolio of imaging and printing solutions

HP today announced five new printing solutions – ranging from check printing security to document capture – to address the security and manageability needs of its enterprise customers.
HP, together with its solution partners, enables customers to manage, secure and improve workflow in their imaging and printing environments. The new solutions, developed through the HP Solution Business Partner (SBP) program, are designed to help customers maximize efficiency and improve business processes.
John Johasky, vice president and general manager, Worldwide Sales and Services, Imaging and Printing Group, HP, said: “Today’s announcement addresses the growing demand for expertise and technology to improve imaging and printing efficiency, while still enabling customers to mitigate the rise of printing costs and the risks associated with security and compliance.”
HP, along with partners Troy, SafeCom, Captaris and Standard Register, is delivering the following solutions that address business needs from security to manageability:
HP Check Printing Security Solutions from HP and Troy Group, Inc.(1) are ideal for banking and finance industries. Design features help safeguard the printing device while meeting stringent check processing standards to avoid check fraud. Solutions are also available to reduce fraud with documents, including school report cards, prescriptions and birth certificates.
HP Imaging and Printing Job Accounting and Security Solutions from HP and SafeCom(2) allow customers to control printing expenses and color use, protect confidential documents, and decrease environmental impact by reducing paper and toner consumption through enforced printing and copying policies, such as duplex printing and non-color printing, and user authentication requirements.
The HP LAN Fax Solution from HP and Captaris(1) combines the Captaris RightFax offering with HP multifunction printers (MFPs) and digital senders. Instead of using traditional stand-alone fax machines, users can now send and receive faxes easily from an MFP, digital sender or PC, reducing the number of devices and supplies required for the office.
