Dubai, UAE - HP has recently been awarded a contract by Al Salam International Hospital in Kuwait to supply the hospital with a range of professional printers that include the Designjet 500, the Laserjet 4250 series and the Business Inkjet 2300n.
"This is a visionary move of Al Salam to deploy IT solutions to drastically increase performance level in the administration department to provide enhanced patient care," said Amr Hassan, General Manager, Imaging and Printing Group, HP Middle East. "We are committed to providing technology that drives innovation and improves performance, thus allowing patients to receive more advanced services at hospitals across the region," he added.
Commenting on the selection process when implementing an enhanced administrative system, Dr. Adnan Aledan, Director General from Al Salam Hospital, said: "Al Salam International Hospital is a world-class hospital that adheres to the highest standards of healthcare practices and we are delighted to be partnering with a global technology leader with significant experience in the healthcare market. In a busy hospital environment, cutting-edge technology solutions are key to ensuring that patients have access to high-tech environments with facilitated processes. We have selected HP today to take our administration systems to the next level."
The HP DesignJet 500 printer is a professional printer at an exceptional price with superior architectural, engineering, construction and mechanical design that delivers ultimate line and photo quality with continuous tones, smooth transitions and a wide colour gamut. One of the key features of this model is the consistent colours that are achieved regardless of print head usage, ambient temperature or ink levels using automatic closed-loop-colour calibration. This new advanced model also ensures ultimate photo quality using HP colour layering technology and up to 1200 dpi resolution. In addition, many more colours are available per printed dot as the printer layers different colour ink drops over each other to create new colours. It comes in two sizes, with a media path that is either 107cm or 61cm wide.
The Laserjet 4250 is a versatile, ultra dependable black-and-white laser printer that delivers workgroup performance. With print speeds of up to 45 pages per minute (ppm), it ensures greater reliability on the robust performance of the whole workgroup. In addition, the printer's versatile design accommodates HP everyday and specialty papers, supports two-sided printing and expands output and finishing capabilities with a stacker or stapler/stacker accessory.
The HP Business Inkjet 2300 series offers cost-effective, high performance, network-ready colour printers that are ideal for small workgroups and complements the office-wide networking strategy. The model is equipped with a host of features like high memory capacity, low operating cost, a robust duty cycle of up to 10,000 pages per month and high laser quality speeds of up to 9ppm black and 5ppm colour, which accelerates productivity throughout the work group.
