The unique LEP (Liquid ElectroPhotographic) technology is a type of digital printing technology that has gained attention for its versatility in printing on various substrates. Unlike other printing technologies limited to specific kinds of materials, LEP technology offers the capability to print on a wide range of substrates, making it a valuable tool for various industries. Here are some key advantages and applications of LEP technology with its ability to print on different substrates.

HP has collaborated with various brands and partners to help them achieve industry sustainability goals.
