Time 2 Display sees major efficiency boost with HP PrintOS
The company says overall efficiency has been boosted by 15% following the implementation of the HP PrintOS Production Hub
HP have announced the release of three additions to its 8000 Series of printers, designed to future-proof against what it describes as “the threat of quantum computer attacks”
HP has used its Amplify 2025 Conference to unveil what it describes as the "world's first business printers to protect against quantum computer attacks".
Quantum computers use principles of quantum mechanics, like superposition and entanglement, to perform calculations, potentially solving complex problems faster than classical computers. While the technology is early in development and widely theoretical, it has been predicted that quantum computers could potentially solve problems that are currently impossible for even the most powerful supercomputers.
HP has used the Amplify 2025 event to launch its new 8000 Series printers including the HP Color LaserJet Enterprise MFP 8801, Mono MFP 8601, and LaserJet Pro Mono SFP 8501 printers.
The new printers are designed with quantum resilience in mind, with the printers’ new ASIC chips designed with quantum-resistant cryptography. The technology enables the use of digital signature verification to protect firmware integrity against quantum attacks.
Printer manageability and protection is also enhanced through the new ASIC chips, which protect early-stage BIOS and BIOS boot firmware integrity, reducing the risk of data breaches.
Additionally, the new solutions are designed to integrate seamlessly into existing Zero Trust Network architectures, with the aim of helping organisations to take a unified, fleet-wide approach to their security strategies and protect against current and future threats.
All of the advancements to the new 8000 Series printers are designed to make them resistant to malicious ‘quantum attacks’, which HP predict will become a rising threat as quantum computer technology develops. According to HP, “a sufficiently powerful quantum computer will break the cryptography we rely on in our digital lives.”
In 2019, Google AI and NASA announced that they had achieved ‘quantum supremacy’, the moment that a quantum computer gains the ability to perform a task that a classical computer never could. The validity of this claim is still being researched.
Google and Amazon recently announced their own quantum chips, while in February Microsoft claimed that it created a ‘new state of matter’ which could help to make quantum computers more powerful.
Technology company, D-Wave, also recently published a paper in the scientific journal, Science, claiming that it had reached quantum supremacy.
The Amplify Conference, which began on March 18th in Nashville, USA, delves into AI's transformative impact on the future of work, employee fulfilment, customer experiences, and company growth.
Attendees gain access to key updates on the latest AI-powered technologies showcased in a 40,000sq ft exhibit, with more than 80 solutions on show.
HP also used Amplify 2025 to announce releases within the wide-format sector, including its new HP Latex R530 printer, a compact, all-in-one solution designed to enable rigid and flexible printing.
