HP Adds To Its Portfolio

The HP Showroom

After the opening press conference, HP ushered journalists into a showroom where it had assembled its full range of printers, both new and existing models. IPG took special notice of several new models (most of which are launching at Drupa).

First among these was the 50-ppm HP Color 9850mfp (which Joshi insisted was not a "me too" product for this range, but rather a necessary step to give HP customers the full range of products). Based on a Konica engine, the printer uses polymerized toner to produce 600x600-dpi resolution images while printing 50 ppm in either color or black and white.
