Will HP make a next-gen Z Series Printer?
Mark Lindquist:
I recently had someone ask me if HP will be continuing to support the Z3200 series printers and if so, for how long.
You know, I haven't got a clue. If anyone out there knows, or knows someone who knows, please share that information.
Most people who have these printers would rather fight than switch, and it is the same for me.
No need in extolling the virtues of the Z series printers here. If you have one, you know, if you don't you likely don't care.
Let us know if you have any insight:
Will HP do another iteration of the Z Series Printers? or are we all done?
Thanks - very much appreciate any and all input.
Mark

I'd love to know too, and like you I'd never give up my 3200

I had understood HP was out of the fineart printer market. I had the impression, quite wrongly maybe, that this had been a consensus view for a while.
I owned a 24" Z3200, and still marvel at how it always worked. Having since moved to Epson, I now particularly marvel at how the HP worked...

The 24 and 44" Z3200-PS versions are still in the HP catalog. It is not unusual for HP to keep a product available for a long time after its introduction.

44" model pricing in the market is about 1200 Euro lower than mentioned there. I guess in the US it will be lower even.
Inks are partly shared by more recent models in the Designjet range so I expect that the ink production will continue too.
For the jobs I have to do the printer does not need to be enhanced. I know that printer and its habits and not any new one.
Met vriendelijke groet, Ernst
