HP aims to revive ailing printer sales by introducing AI-powered printing features, like page trimming and data consolidation, provided by Perfect Output.
In a significant move towards streamlining print jobs and digital workspaces, HP has announced the development of AI-powered features for its Print AI, Build Workspace, and Scan AI Enhanced services. These innovations are expected to revolutionise the way users interact with HP's devices, making tasks more efficient and user-friendly.
One of the key AI-enhanced features is Perfect Output, aimed at enhancing the printing capabilities of HP machines. This ground-breaking technology bridges the gap between what is seen on the screen and what is intended to be printed, reformatting pages in real-time for each print job to focus on just the needed information. Perfect Output addresses common issues such as advertisements, oddly scaled images, and excessive white space, which are prevalent in more than half of print jobs that originate from web browsers.
Perfect Output, along with other AI-powered features, is primarily cloud-based, utilizing AI power rather than on-device. This approach allows for seamless integration across various HP products and ensures that users benefit from the latest advancements in AI technology.
HP Build Workspace, already available, offers AI capabilities in beta in the US and Europe. This platform is designed to simplify tasks for design and construction professionals, making field reports and collaborative work easier, if not automated. The worldwide rollout for HP Build Workspace's AI capabilities is expected in Spring 2025.
HP Scan AI Enhanced, another feature aimed at commercial users, has expanded its availability. As of now, HP Scan AI is available in North America, most of Europe, Latin America, and parts of Asia.
While the exact release dates and availability regions for HP Print AI, Perfect Output, HP Build Workspace, and HP Scan AI Enhanced features have not been confirmed, it is reasonable to infer that these AI-enhanced software features are likely tied to HP’s next-generation printing and workspace solutions expected around mid to late 2025, with initial global releases.
HP first introduced these AI-powered features during HP Imagine 2024 on September 24. As HP continues to innovate and push the boundaries of technology, these AI-enhanced solutions are set to redefine the user experience for HP's print and workspace offerings. Keep an eye on upcoming HP product announcements or official HP communications for confirmation on the precise launch details.
The AI-powered feature Perfect Output, which optimizes printing capabilities, uses real-time reformatting to focus on essential information and eliminate common issues like excess white space, advertisements, and scaled images from print jobs originating from web browsers. In addition, HP Build Workspace, currently in beta in the US and Europe, leverages AI to streamline tasks for design and construction professionals, with a global rollout of its AI capabilities scheduled for Spring 2025.
