HP Innovation
For HP, innovation took centre stage with a focus on AI and intelligent automation supported by HP’s advanced software solution, the PrintOS Suite. The company’s LEP/LEPx and inkjet technologies showcased the ‘Power of HP Innovation’ to ‘Unlock Profitable Growth’ for customers, the theme that defined the HP booth.
Sustainability
At the most sustainable drupa to date, HP minimised its ecological footprint and promoted social impact with eco-friendly booth designs. The graphics giant printed over 30,000 newspapers and magazines for the Print4Cause project to support social initiatives and featured a reforestation wall, symbolising its commitment to plant 10,000 trees.
HP believes its ongoing efforts reflect a strong dedication to innovation, sustainability, and industry excellence, driving strategies into the future.

HP Latex 2700 printer
At drupa, HP introduced the new high-capacity 10 litre ink accessory specifically designed for the HP Latex 2700 printer, expanding HP’s capabilities within the high volume print market. HP says this modular and upgradeable solution opens opportunities for higher volume printers by addressing high running costs to the next level, reducing costs whilst simultaneously increasing productivity.
A key sustainability component of this innovation is its compatibility with the HP Latex 2700 model, which eliminates the need to discard or replace existing equipment, reducing waste. Printers can now seamlessly transition to higher volume printing capabilities without compromising on sustainability and incurring unnecessary costs.
