HP Productivity Photo Semi-gloss produces high-quality photo gloss prints that dry instantly . This benefit dramatically reduces production time by eliminating the most time-consuming stage of the workflow - print dry time prior to lamination. Finished posters, signs, and other large graphics can be completed in a fraction of the time it takes using other photo gloss media that requires hours or overnight to dry before laminating. Since prints can be laminated immediately after printing, costly rework due to image transference and smearing is virtually eliminated. And valuable space that is normally devoted to drying prints waiting to be laminated can be used in more productive ways. The net result is significantly quicker turnaround time for the customer and more profit for print service providers, (quick printers, sign shops, etc.) and other HP Productivity Photo Semi-gloss users.
