In celebration of National Arts Month, HP successfully hosted the DIY Print Party: Zines & Stickers Edition at First Coworking Space in Escolta, reinforcing its commitment to supporting local artists, makers, and entrepreneurs. This hands-on workshop provided participants with the tools and knowledge to explore independent publishing and creative printing, highlighting the enduring relevance of print in artistic expression.
As the country celebrates a month dedicated to the arts and creative industries, the event served as a platform for participants to embrace DIY culture, experiment with different print mediums, and discover how high-quality printing technology can enhance their creative work. With the rise of independent publishing, many artists and small business owners seek accessible, professional-grade printing solutions to bring their ideas to life. Recognizing this need, HP is championing creative entrepreneurs by making printing more efficient, cost-effective, and accessible.
Through this initiative, attendees got first-hand experience using the HP Smart Tank 580, a printer built for productivity, efficiency, and high-volume printing. The Smart Tank 580 ensures consistent, high-quality output while reducing downtime—making it an ideal choice for creatives who need a reliable, cost-effective, and long-lasting printing solution.
“We are thrilled to bring creatives together for this hands-on experience with the HP Smart Tank 580, especially as we celebrate National Arts Month. Print remains a powerful and tangible way to share ideas, tell stories, and express creativity. Seeing artists and makers bring their designs to life reminds us why print continues to be relevant,” said Ida Evina Ong-Co, Managing Director of HP Philippines.
The DIY Print Party featured an interactive session led by Project Lemons, a creative facilitator known for engaging hands-on workshops.
Participants learned the fundamentals of zine-making and sticker design, from concept creation to final printing. With HP printers on-site, attendees printed their own designs in real-time, experimenting with different formats and materials. This event was made possible through HP’s collaboration with 98B COLLABoratory, an artist-run initiative that fosters creativity and learning through experimental and community-driven programs.
The HP Smart Tank 580 is designed with smart features, vibrant color reproduction, and seamless connectivity, allowing users to print, scan, and copy efficiently while maintaining top-quality output. With low-cost ink refills and a user-friendly interface, the Smart Tank 580 is a practical solution for artists, entrepreneurs, and home offices that need reliable and productive printing solutions.
