Exclusive Original HP Vivera pigment ink formulations are delivered by HP 91 Printheads that are designed to achieve precise, accurate placement of smaller drops at high speed.
Each printhead prints two colors of ink with 1,056 nozzles per color. Working together, these components produce a range of vibrant colors, smooth neutral gray transitions, crisp text, and fine line accuracy for a wide color gamut, incredible detail, and photo-image quality.

Water resistance

Prints can be damaged when exposed to water or by handling when wet. However, many Original HP ink and media combinations produce high-quality, water-resistant prints. During the development of Original HP pigment inks, HP tests water resistance performance characteristics most important to customers. HP uses ISO and internally developed tests and considers prints which pass the following tests to be water resistant: ISO standing water, water spray, water drip, and wet smudge.

Scratch and abrasion resistance

HP cares about the entire customer workflow, not just the printing experience. Laminates are generally applied to provide additional scratch and abrasion resistance, water and chemical resistance, as well as extending the image permanence rating.

HP Vivera Ink

HP Vivera pigment inks offer outstanding image quality and fade resistance, along with water resistance, on a wide range of HP creative and specialty media. HP's proprietary Electrosteric Encapsulation Technology optimizes the pigment chemistry and ink properties for stability and performance to ensure a broad color gamut, print permanence, excellent gloss uniformity, and reliable, accurate, and consistent printing.
