Footnotes

Based on comparable printers using LED technology and capable of printing 4-6 D/A1 pages per minute and which represent more than 70% of the share of low-volume LED printers in the US and Europe according to IDC as of November, 2018. Fastest first page out and up to 10 times less energy consumption based on internal HP testing for specific use scenarios. Operational costs based on low-volume LED technology under $17,000 USD in the market as of November, 2018. Operational costs consist of supplies and service costs. For testing criteria, see http://www.hp.com/go/designjetxlclaims.

30% smaller footprint based on comparable printers using LED technology and capable of printing 4-6 D/A1 pages per minute and which represent more than 40% of the share of low-volume LED printers in the US and Europe according to IDC as of November, 2018. Measure done considering operational footprint (with the media drawer open). Most quiet operation based on comparable printers using LED technology and capable of printing 4-6 D/A1 pages per minute and which represent more than 70% of the share of low-volume LED printers in the US and Europe according to IDC as of November, 2018. Most quiet according to internal HP testing of operation mode and ready/sound mode sound pressure (plain paper, line drawing, normal mode) compared to published specifications of competitive printers. For testing criteria, see http://www.hp.com/go/designjetxlclaims.
Advanced embedded security features are based on HP review of 2019 published embedded security features of competitive printers, as of February 2019.
