John,
Search printing companies on their Indigo configurations or possibly
through HP toner supply sources. There are more Indigo's used than the
ones that produce for web portals. There is a diversity of Indigo models
too; in age, in print sizes and in toner number. Whether you can get the
same price per printed page is another matter.
An example:

Question .. I have seen work off 4 color Indigo's
.. and it's not bad but the fact is they use toners rather then inks.. so how do
you guys sit with that.. Realistically I can't see how they could hit the PPM
numbers their getting with inks but with the little bit I have been
exposed to Toners can't go where inks go ..well at least not yet I
understand and certainly permanence has to suffer.
I realize that the whole concept is about high end
production for these machines but it's at a price.. They are becoming so popular
and peoples brains are getting numbed by lesser quality but good prices.. Won't
this technology contribute somewhat to accepting a lesser quality
output?
