There has
been considerable discussion in and around the reprographics industry since HP,
in early June last year, announced that it would be introducing its PageWide
wide-format printing system in the 2nd half of 2015.
been considerable discussion in and around the reprographics industry since HP,

wide-format printing system in the 2nd half of 2015.
One part of
that discussion pertains to whether or not HP PageWide wide-format will prove
to be competitive with brands/models already on the market from OCE (ColorWave
and PlotWave), KIP (b/w and color), Xerox (IJP2000 Memjet), and RTI Digital
(Vortex 4200 Memjet).

Another part
of that discussion pertains to whether or not A/E/C customers are actually
interested in increasing the use of color in their sets of plans.

And, another
part of that discussion pertains to this question, “will the introduction of
higher-speed wide-format color printing devices have an effect on prices in the
market for color CAD printing services?”

Those are
all “big questions”, for sure.

This
morning, I found a very interesting, well-written post on Cushing & Co’s
blog. Within that blog-post, you’ll find

blog. Within that blog-post, you’ll find
this quote:
“Whether we like it or not, based on
global trends, the price for technical color print will come down. If you don’t
respond by taking the lead, companies like HP & Canon will make it
happen without you.”

I thoroughly enjoy my visits to Cushing &
Co’s blog. The posts on Cushing’s blog
are always well-written, informative and provide info that services as “food
for thought.” After all, the people at
Cushing & Co are awesome folks. One
of my all-time favorite guys was Jack Cushing, father of Cathie Cushing Duff
and Joe Cushing. Jack was an incredibly
nice person and a very astute businessperson. I learned a lot from him, and I’m
thankful that I had the opportunity to get to know him. One of my ex-partners, Gary Rowley, was the
one who introduced me to Jack. That was in 1981.
