HP hasn’t sat still since the 1930s, continually developing new computing and imaging technologies. With more than 51,000 employees worldwide, they generated more than $63.5 billion in revenue in FY 2021. In 2006, the company commercialized its “Scalable Printing Technology.” This important development has allowed HP to bring new lines of product to market including office machines, photo kiosks, wide-format, and production printers, as well as 3D printers and biotech application devices all around the same, although continually developing, thermal printhead technology. The early HP inkjet cartridges housed 50 nozzles, while today’s High Definition Nozzle Architecture (HDNA) printheads installed in the current production inkjet portfolio can have more than 20,000 nozzles, or 2,400 nozzles per inch on a 4.25-in. printhead including up to 8x nozzle redundancy, so they have come a long way. 

The currently installed PageWide press technology includes their line of PageWide Commercial production inkjet presses, including the T200, T300, and T400 Commercial production print series. It also includes their Corrugated press line which includes the T470S, T1190, and C500. Since the initial demonstration of the T300 at drupa 2008, and the introduction of the T200 in 2010, the HP PageWide inkjet presses have been very productive. HP estimates that between 2018 to 2022, its customer installations produced A4 pages at a rate of more than 11% per year which is faster than the 6% market growth.
