HP will serve as the Official Printer of the first annual Lowen Certified Wrap-off Event at ISA International Sign Expo 2009. The HP Scitex TJ8300 Printer will be used to produce more than 7,000 square feet of material for the event, which includes several rounds of vehicle graphic installation competitions to narrow the field from more than 90 installers to two, and determine who can wrap a car in the least amount of time with the fewest errors.

The remaining two contestants will compete to win the title of America’s Best Installer along with the grand prize, which includes a 2009 Ford F-250 XL, an HP Touchsmart tx2-1020us Notebook PC, a truck tool box and wrappers tool set from Mac Tools and a Cyrious Control OOB Gold system.

Providing excellent quality output at speeds of up to 400 m2/hr (4,305 ft2/hr) with sharp small text on a broad selection of supported substrates, the HP Scitex TJ8300 Printer allows customers to drive business growth while delivering maximum return on investment in as little as one year.
