The HP Gallery at Calumet Photo will host a number of exhibits created on HP professional printing technologies. Hills’ exhibit, which showcases more than 50 images from his celebrity, fashion, beauty, Clothing Immaterial and French Foreign Legion collections, was produced with the HP Designjet Z3100 and HP Photosmart Pro B9180 photo printers on HP professional photo papers.
