HP Redefines High-Volume Digital Print with Two Game-Changing PageWide Presses
The most influential word a print producer can tell is “yes.” They can get a broader range of work quickly when they have the right equipment and capabilities. HP is stretching the limitations of high-speed, high-quality print production with the launch of the HP PageWide T4250 HDR and HP PageWide T500M HD—both of which defy expectations in their print varieties.
Whether you’re in direct mail, commercial print, or book publishing, these two new presses help businesses say “yes” to more possibilities, all while enhancing productivity and sustainability.
The HP PageWide T4250 HDR: Unmatched Speed, Quality, and Efficiency
The HP PageWide T4250 HDR isn’t only a new press; it allows printers to grow their business by printing more high-volume, high-coverage jobs. Designed for publishing, direct mail, and commercial print applications, the speed and consistency of the T4250 HDR is in a class of its own. This 42-inch web press doubles the productivity of its predecessor, the T485 HD. That represents 20,000 B1 duplex sheets and more than 200,000 letter-sized duplex color pages per hour. Yes, per hour.
But speed isn’t the only story here. The T4250 HDR’s groundbreaking recirculating technology represents every print with vibrant and captivating colors that stand out from the page. The press also keeps a wide range of media, from 40 to 350 gsm, so whether it’s lightweight direct mail or thick cover stock, the T4250 HDR handles it seamlessly. It satisfies the needs of brands looking for high-impact visuals across diverse formats.
The sustainability credentials are just as impressive, matching power efficiency and performance. The HP Brilliant B70 Ink formula significantly reduces drying time and boasts 50% lower energy consumption than its predecessor.

The HP PageWide T500M HD: A New Chapter for Book Printers
If the T4250 HDR is the king of versatility, the HP PageWide T500M HD is the undisputed champion of book production—this 54-inch web press takes off at a time when the publishing world is changing fast. Publishers demand shorter runs, quicker turnarounds, and minimal waste—and the T500M HD delivers on all fronts.
The T500M HD is explicitly built for high-volume monochrome trade book printing. Operating at 1,000 fpm (305 mpm), this press can churn out more than 5,000 six-by-nine-inch books per hour. That’s not just fast—it’s a game-changer for book manufacturers struggling with unpredictable demand.
The capability to print on standard offset media indicates operators can easily switch between digital and offset production lines while lowering paper inventory and streamlining labor resources. And because digital printing eliminates the need for aluminum plates, it significantly cuts material waste. These benefits stack up to realize the environmental advantages of industrial inkjet without compromising productivity or profitability.
