At the heart of Jet Intelligence is the ColorSphere 3 Toner System, which is the result of a five year investment programme by HP, working in collaboration with Canon. The new toner has a different, 3-layered particle structure, with a hard external shell and a soft core, with a significantly lower melting point than ‘traditional’ toner, which has a mono-sphere particle structure.
Firstly, the hard shell means that the toner particles do not degrade through the life of a cartridge, meaning that all the toner in the cartridge can be used, whereas previously as much as 15% could become degraded and unusable.
Secondly, the lower melting point results in dramatically lower power consumption – reduced by over 50%.
Thirdly, the way the toner is laid down allows the printer to be much smaller and faster than previous equivalent models – with footprint reduced by 40%, first page out time down to 7 seconds, and duplex printing with the same productivity as simplex.
