Cathy Skoglund, of Arizona State University, said her shop is strongly considering buying the HP Designjet L25500 wide-format latex printer she saw at the show, as well as an Imprintor pad/mug/pen printer. Skoglund was one of three managers I talked to with firm plans to buy a digital press after Graph Expo. She intends to get a seven-color HP Indigo 5500. Amtrak's Michael Smedberg was there seeking a replacement for his shop's Xerox iGen3, and was examining iGen4, Kodak NexPress and MGI Meteor presses. Steve Weigel, of Iowa State University, was sizing up the latest NexPress, intending to upgrade in the next year or so.
