Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• What is the size difference between the Q6652A and Q6651A models?
  The Q6652A edition features a massive 60 in. wide media chassis, allowing print shops to produce extra-large exhibition graphics, oversized billboards, and continuous panoramic banners up to 5 feet broad. The Q6651A version is restricted to a maximum media width of 42 inches.
• What advanced processing architecture allows the Z6100 to print at industrial production speeds?
  The DesignJet Z6100 leverages a unique HP Double Swath Technology carriage layout. This configuration mounts two sets of overlapping HP 91 printheads staggered together, widening the active firing path to double the paper coverage per stroke. This engineering breakthrough enables high-volume commercial print shops to churn out retail signage, backlit banners, and GIS displays at ultra-fast speeds without suffering typical banding defects.
• Does this base model (Q6652A) natively decode Adobe PostScript or multi-layered PDF files?
  No. The base Z6100 configuration uses a native raster print language (HP RTL / PCL 3 GUI). It is specifically optimized to accept pre-rendered document commands passed through an external corporate server or dedicated computer software RIP console. If your creative workspace demands direct PDF or PostScript decoding on the machine's motherboard, the upgraded Z6100ps model variation would be required.
