To make it easier for Designjet users to choose the most appropriate media and ink for specific applications, HP has upgraded the Supplies Center section of its website. The site helps users navigate through more than 300 industry-leading media and ink options for Designjet printers and includes a media-chooser tool that takes into account print requirements and capabilities. The HP Supplies Center includes color management tips, best-practice advice related to all phases of graphics production, and an ROI tool that can be used to help estimate gross profit on print-for-pay products and services.

In HP's large-format 'how to' project rooms, users walk through a project from concept to completion. If you're considering branching into a new application, browse through the project rooms to see step-by-step how to expand as well as lists of materials used in making and finishing signs, interactive how-to recipes, visual examples, and flash animation of the workflow process.
