Sample applications: Globally Harmonized System (GHS)

• Braille characters The HP SI-1300 is GHS certified, which saves you the time and effort of applying for the
certification. HP pigment inks adhere to porous media so well that they can pass the industry
• CDs and DVDs standard three-month salt water immersion test. Now that’s permanence!
• Fingernails
• Labels A true workhorse
• Passports The HP SI-1300 offers a robust desktop color solution that can print continuously up to eight
hours a day. This means less time between interventions and more time printing. The large-fill
• Well-logging reports
supplies also enable fewer interventions for ink replacement.

The SI-1300 is a proven print engine that uses advanced color thermal inkjet technology (TIJ). It
provides a rugged platform with design specs that support a metal base plate. This allows you to
mount the print mechanics in a variety of configurations to suit your needs.

This print engine is perfect for OEMs who:

• Need a system that can print long print jobs, such as 1000 or more 4x6 inch labels in a single
print job
• Want a rugged development platform already tested and validated with HP’s proven expertise
• Value the advantages of TIJ and the competitive edge that comes from partnering with
a recognized technology leader

Reliable
The HP SI-1300 is a print engine and front panel based on the HP OfficeJet Pro 8210 printer.
It includes:
• Scanning printhead, with a paper-based media path
• One printhead stall for the user-replaceable, semi-permanent printhead
• Printhead service station
• Optional Class 1 external power supply

Fast and rugged, the SI-1300 is designed to provide easy access to the printhead and ink supplies.

Wide-ranging print zone

The HP SI-1300 is designed with a 215.9 mm (8.5 in) print zone, which supports a wide range of
media sizes. You can customize the media path down to a 127 mm (5 in) print zone for smaller-
form factor applications such as small labels, fingernails, passports, braille characters, well-
logging reports, and CDs/DVDs.

Integration options
The HP SI-1300 print engine comes with a paper-based media path that can be used as-is
for labels and other paper-based applications. For other applications, the SI-1300 has been
designed to accommodate alternate layouts. This is accomplished by creating your own custom
sheet metal base and media path.

Customizable software driver

To facilitate quick integration, HP designed a Windows software driver for the HP SI-1300 that
permits extensive customization. You can use the driver to define your media sets and route to
whichever existing print mode is desired.
The driver can also be tailored to present a feature-rich user interface (with or without OEM
brand identity) or a simplified driver that offers only the functions required for the application,
such as:
• Print quality controls to balance speed versus resolution
• Media type and size selection
• Layout controls (orientation, size, and borderless printing)
• Printer status and ink status indicators

Mac driver development available through third-party partners. Linux software driver
development available through open-source source code.

• Permanence – HP pigment ink provides durability in both fade and scratch resistance.
• Vibrancy – HP dye ink provides high color pop especially on glossy media.
• Superior photo quality – The four-color ink system produces long-lasting, brilliant colors.
• Compact design – Low-profile packaging saves space so you can build smaller products.
• Proven reliability – HP’s worldwide recognition for product quality, reliability, and service
creates a winning combination for you as an OEM partner.
• Ease-of-use – Simple, quick replacement minimizes downtime.
• Economical output – Efficient ink delivery system provides a low-cost-per-page advantage.

Versatile, economic, high-quality ink cartridges

The HP SI-1300 is designed to work with generic OEM versions of the HP 956/952 ink supplies that
can be purchased through licensed OEMs only.

Precise ink drop placement produces consistently superb image and text quality in color and
black and white on a wide variety of media.

HP offers OEMs the tools to custom key their supplies in order to protect supplies annuity.

HP engineering expertise and support

HP works with you to quickly adapt and customize this print engine to meet your particular
market needs. These products provide a high return on investment compared to standard
consumer printing platforms.

Swappable Printhead Assembly

The SI-1300 firmware supports snap-in/ snap-out swapping between dye, pigment and
approved third-party ink sets. This means a user can run both glossy and matte media print
Third-Party ink jobs in one printer. Just remove the printhead assembly, insert the other printhead assembly
and run the print job that matches the media for that job. Users get three printers in one
