HP Scitex XL1500 Printer

Print almost any application on almost 

any media

• 

Print any width and any length in virtually any thickness. 

The HP Scitex XL1500 Printer can print jobs up to 3.2 m 

and 5 m (10.5 ft and 16.4 ft) wide, according to the printer 

model. For wider jobs, use the multi-roll feature to print 

different tiles of a job on different media rolls—or print 

narrower jobs. The maximum print length is limited only by 

the length of the media roll. This printer series can handle 

almost any thickness of flexible media that can be rolled, 

approximately 10 mm (0.4 inch).

• 

Easily switch between four, six, and eight color printing 

to expand your application options. Easily switch 

between four, six, and eight color printing to meet the 

needs of almost any super-wide format job. Selecting 

four, six, or eight color ink printing enables you to print a 

wide variety of jobs while maintaining high productivity.

• 

Print double-sided applications with accurate registration 

between sides. With double-sided printing, you can 

create backlit applications with precise registration, 

creating a consistent image whether viewed during the 

day or night. For applications that will be viewed from 

both sides, print on blackout material.

• 

Print on almost any media, from standard to high-profit, 

to create a range of applications. The HP Scitex XL1500 

Printer has high media versatility, supporting flexible 

substrates. Mainstream applications include exhibition 

and event banners, outdoor signage, textiles, and more.

• 

Save time and money by printing on up to three rolls 

simultaneously. With multi-roll printing, print either the 

same image on all rolls (Step and Repeat), or print 

different images on each roll.

• 

Move part of your print job to finishing while the 

remainder is still printing with free-fall printing. With the 

free-fall feature, the printed substrate flows down or is 

collected on a secondary bar, so you can move it to the 

finishing process while the remainder prints.

• 

Improve productivity with the skip-white feature. 

Advanced, user-friendly printer software includes the skip-white 

option, which saves time on low print-coverage applications.

• 

Improve productivity with the high-performance, 

dedicated I-RIP for HP Scitex. A leading RIP for four-,  

six-, and eight-color printing systems, the I-RIP for HP Scitex 

is optimized for the HP Scitex XL1500 Printer. The  

work-in-parallel option enables improved productivity 

by allowing the RIP to process one file while the printer 

operator prepares the next file. Quickly transition between 

jobs by loading the next file while the current job is printing.
