Hi All,

HP just made some new printing announcements that could be of interest.
I posted the press release on www.dimagemaker.com

Cheers,

Wayne

And I get some weird message about a SELECT command. Are you running
a database there? Anyway, the site doesn't grant access.

I'm getting that now, too, though I got straight through the first time I
looked.

It is/was about the 'new' technology that HP are getting excited over i.e
fixed print heads. They have upped the nozzle count and the size of the
heads to allow - they suggest - twice the speed of laser printers. They
also suggest lower running costs than lasers which I'll believe when I
experience it. They also talk of six colour-coordinated ink tanks.

It's some years since I foreswore Epson printers on the grounds of their
terminally clogging heads so, intuitively, I'm not too encouraged by this
development. I haven't used one myself but HP have been making fixed-head
business models for some time, apparently without the generic frailty of the
Epson's so perhaps they've just got a better grasp of the technology
required. Oh, and at least HP heads are user-replaceable - on the business
models that is - I don't recall the blurb covering such details for the new
models but I would expect it.
