Description

HP DesignJet Z9+ 44-in PostScript Printer Plus Edition

The HP DesignJet Z9+ 44-in PostScript Printer Plus Edition delivers professional photo quality for photographers, graphic designers, print service providers and organizations producing demanding color graphics. Its 44 inch print width supports photographs, fine art reproductions, posters, retail displays and presentation graphics across a wide range of professional media.

Nine HP Vivid Photo pigment inks help the printer reproduce an expanded range of colors, including rich blues, natural greens, neutral grays and smooth tonal transitions. For precise color control, HP Pixel Control works with an embedded spectrophotometer to support accurate and repeatable output. In addition, high definition printheads use dual drop technology to produce fine details without requiring separate light color inks.

HP Click software simplifies job preparation and provides a real print preview before printing begins. As a result, operators can identify potential mistakes and reduce unnecessary reprints. Meanwhile, Adobe PostScript 3 and Adobe PDF support help the printer process complex graphics and professional design files reliably.

Plus Edition: The HP DesignJet Z9+ 44-in PostScript Printer W3Z72D#B1K replaces the previous HP DesignJet Z9+ 44-in Printer W3Z72A#B1K.

Accurate and Repeatable Color

The embedded spectrophotometer helps users create and maintain media profiles for consistent color output. At the same time, HP Pixel Control manages ink combinations at the pixel level to support smooth transitions and precise details. This combination is valuable for repeat jobs, branded graphics and image reproduction where predictable color matters.

For compatible gloss and satin photo papers, the optional HP 747 Gloss Enhancer can improve gloss uniformity and reduce bronzing. The gloss enhancer requires the appropriate HP Gloss Enhancer Upgrade Kit and is not intended for matte media.

Secure and Streamlined Production

Built-in HP Wolf Pro Security features help protect the device throughout startup and operation. Secure boot validates firmware, while allowlisting helps ensure that only approved code runs on the printer. Furthermore, PIN printing can prevent sensitive documents from being released before an authorized user reaches the device.

HP Click provides a straightforward printing workflow for compatible files. Operators can preview placement, orientation and media use before sending the job. Therefore, teams can reduce setup time while avoiding preventable errors and wasted media.

Choose the Correct Z9+ Configuration

The W3Z72D is the single-roll HP DesignJet Z9+ configuration with an automatic horizontal cutter. If your workflow requires two automatic rolls and an integrated vertical trimmer, choose the HP DesignJet Z9+dr 44-in PostScript Printer with V-Trimmer Plus Edition X9D24D#B1K.
