Signs Now Selects HP’S L25500 As Official Printer For New Franchise Locations

SARASOTA, Fla. — Signs Now, a division of Allegra Network LLC, recently announced the adoption of the HP L25500 60” Large Format DesignJet printer for all new franchise locations, effective June 1, 2010. The L25500 utilizes HP’s Latex Ink technology and was chosen for exceptional print quality and the lack of VOC Emissions found in other equipment. This will help Signs Now franchise members who have adopted the Signs Now Green Initiative, which was launched in 2009.

The L25500 produces indoor quality prints with state-of-the-art outdoor durability. However, unlike traditional solvent based ink technologies, the L25500 does this without producing any harmful VOC’s or Hazardous Air Pollutants, providing Signs Now franchisees with odor free printing without the need for external ventilation equipment.

Besides being odor free, all prints come out of the L25500 dry and ready for immediate use. Other features of the L25500 include a wide range of media choices, including popular vinyl and banner vendors to uncoated papers and textiles, and automatic maintenance routines with no operator involvement. In addition, built in ease of use features like a spectrophotomer, optical drop detector and an optical media sensor ensure high quality prints without operator intervention.

The HP Planet Partners Program and HP Media Take Back Program also provide Signs Now franchisees the opportunity to recycle 100 percent of the waste generated by the printer from print heads to empty ink cartridges. Owners can offer customers a 100 percent Green solution by recycling many of the medias offered by HP for free, including large format banners.

“Signs Now has made the right choice, not only for their current and future franchisees, but for the environment and all of the businesses and consumers that will make sustainability an issue when choosing where to go for their sign and graphics needs” said John Stevens, strategic account manager at Hewlett Packard.
