The HP models we are considering include the </span><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>T520, T730, T930, </span><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>T1530, and the T1300. There is a wide range in price and specs. We are no longer the “production shop” we used to be in terms of cranking out large-format hardcopy, as the world continues to evolve toward a less analog style of information delivery, so we probably don’t need something as high end as the 4500 was in its day. It looks like HP is moving away from 3-inch-core media to 2-inch-core, and moving away from multiple-printhead systems to more single-printhead systems. Any anecdotal experience, insight, suggestions, or recommendations appreciated.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Thanks.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Franklin Gothic Medium","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Bill Clingman |Senior GIS Analyst | Lane Council of Governments <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Franklin Gothic Medium","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>859 Willamette Street, Suite 500, Eugene, OR 97401<br>Office: 541.682.4548 | Fax 541.682.4099</span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Franklin Gothic Medium","sans-serif";color:gray'> |</span><u><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Franklin Gothic Medium","sans-serif";color:blue'><a href="mailto:bclingman@lcog.org">bclingman@lcog.org</a></span></u><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Franklin Gothic Medium","sans-serif";color:gray'> | </span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Franklin Gothic Medium","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><a href="http://www.lcog.org/"><span style='color:black'>www.lcog.org</span></a></span><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
