For creative pros and professional photographers, the go-to printer of choice should be HP’s Designjet Z3100 Photo Printer, a wide-format device that is a marvel of form and function. The Z3100 can produce color and black-and-white prints as exquisite as anything the competition has to offer, but print quality is no longer the bar that it once was. Thus, HP’s engineers had to deliver on usability, and they succeeded brilliantly. From the smartly designed packaging that makes it a snap to set up, to the 12 inks that provide its wide color gamut, the Z3100 has all the bases covered. Its secret weapon, however, is its built-in i1 spectrophotometer (from X-Rite), which lets you create ICC profiles on-the-fly quickly and easily. You put a new paper type into the printer, click a couple of buttons, and a short time later every Mac on your network will have the new paper’s settings installed. Someday, printing like this will be commonplace, but right now, HP’s Designjet Z3100 stands alone.
