I’m in Atlanta today, and I just finished
attending the live production of a world-wide webinar presentation HP’s PageWide
wide-format team gave today.
HP’s
webinar-presentation team was led by Ramon Pastor, Vice President & General
Manager of Large Format and 3D Printing.
I have to admit that is was very exciting to
have been invited by HP to attend the HP PageWide launch event that took place in early June in San Diego, and I feel
compelled to say that it was doubly-exciting
to have been invited to the live production of today’s webinar presentation….
for, at today’s presentation, HP released very
important additional news about
HP PageWide wide-format, as you’ll read below and as you’ll read in the April 9th
Press Release, which can be found by using the first link at the bottom of this
post.
Today, HP introduced the HP
PageWide XL portfolio.
Previously
on my blog, I speculated that HP was going to introduce more than just one
model. And, in fact, HP, today, announced that there will initially be four
models. You read that correctly. Four
different models!
-The HP
PageWide XL 8000 – offering up to 30 D/A1 size prints per minute.
-The HP
PageWide XL 5000 – offering up to 14 D/A1 size prints per minute.
-The HP
PageWide XL 4500 – offering up to 12 D/A1 size prints per minute.
-The HP
PageWide XL 4000 – offering up to 8 D/A1 size prints per minute.
HP also announced delivery
dates for its PageWide XL portfolio:
--XL 8000 –
Deliveries to begin in September 2015
--XL 5000 –
Deliveries to begin in November 2015
--XL 4500 –
Deliveries to begin in January 2016 (and possibly earlier)
--XL 4000 –
Deliveries to begin in January 2016 (and possibly earlier)
Towards the end of today’s webinar
presentation, questions were invited from the audience, and I asked two
questions:
Q1 – When will HP begin releasing pricing
(and cost) information?
Response: Distributor/Dealers have
received this information from HP, and they will shortly be in a position to
begin working with prospective customers on pricing and costs.
Q2 – When will HP begin taking orders for
PageWide XL systems?
Response: Distributor/Dealers will
begin to take orders within the next couple of months.
Just a suggestion: If you are interested in acquiring HP
PageWide XL systems, I’d highly suggest that you get in the front of the order
queue. I suspect that there will be very
significant demand for this revolutionary, game-changing technology. In other words, act quickly!
