HP has announced the availability of HP Print AI in Malaysia, bringing its AI-powered printing aimed at primarily addressing an issue: webpages that print differently than expected. Given that webpages aren’t designed with paper in mind most of the time, it’s no surprise that formatting often goes awry as soon as it comes out of the paper.
HP Print AI Addresses Common Web-Printing Issues
HP stated that most everyday print jobs originate from web content, including articles, travel information, recipes, and guides, which can result in awkward spacing, incorrect image sizing, or unnecessary pages when printed. This often requires manual reformatting or ad removal before printing – to that end, HP Print AI is designed to reduce this trial-and-error process for customers.
The Precise Print feature is designed to automatically clean up unwanted ads, spacing issues, and image sizing before printing, aiming to reduce the need for manual adjustments and reprints. HP Print AI also includes a support feature that uses natural language and contextual awareness to guide customers through printer setup and remember user preferences for future support interactions.
For commercial customers, HP announced expanded availability of HP Scan AI Enhanced, a cloud-based, AI-driven document scanning solution that automatically identifies document types and extracts relevant information based on business needs. HP stated the solution is designed to reduce manual data entry, citing an example of a retail group with 300 locations in Italy that reported an 80% reduction in labor costs after implementing the solution in its delivery and inventory workflows.
HP Print AI is available now with compatible HP devices, including the HP DeskJet 2800, 4300, and 5100 series; HP Smart Tank 500, 700, and 790 series; HP OfficeJet Pro 8100, 9100, and 9700 series; and select HP LaserJet Pro 3000 and 4000 series, with features varying by model and market (the feature requires Windows 11). HP Scan AI Enhanced is available now as a cloud-based document processing service.
Pokdepinion: Sounds like a neat feature on paper, but here’s hoping it’s not another avenue to charge monthly subscription for.
