BlueKit™
Plug-in IBM AFP/IPDS Emulation Module for HP LaserJet Printers
Turn HP LaserJet Printers and MFPs into Native IPDS Printers
Key Functions & Benefits: BlueKit
Plug & Play
The BlueKit memory module connects very simply to your HP printer. When installed, the content of the BlueKit solution is automatically loaded into the HP device, which becomes “IPDS friendly” and processes IPDS as an additional native printer language. You can directly print your IPDS jobs on your printer.
HP Tested and Certified Solution
BlueKit is recommended by HP for all IPDS printing needs on HP Monochrome and Color (“LaserJet” and “PageWide”) printers or MFPs.
Optimize Budgets
By choosing the BlueKit option, you can first acquire your favorite HP LaserJet or PageWide device, at a competitive price, or even use one of your existing HP devices from a printer fleet and upgrade to IPDS ready with the associated BlueKit solution. Therefore you avoid the purchase of specific expensive IPDS printers. The return on investment is therefore very short (immediate or just a few months), depending on your printing fleet.
