Digital BW, The Print

Reality disagrees. At IJM we support all new North American SC-Ps from the P400 (13”), P600 (13”) all the way to the P9000 with the exception of the P5000 and P10000 and P20000s due to lack of market for chip R&D. If the demand was high we could support the XP-15000 as well. We have brought on several hundred new BW customers in less than half a year on the SC-P series printers. While the conversion can be more costly up front (1-time chips or decoder boards on some printers vs resettable chips), the newer printers are an improvement in many ways as far as head uniformity and dependability, nozzle size, etc. The P400 and P600 work the same, chip-wise, as the older generation. We have several thousand(s) of customers running dedicated BW on both legacy and new model printers successfully year after year. It’s not a dead community at all. People are printing and doing their thing and most have just gone elsewhere to find camaraderie and get their burning questions answered. The demand is there and I should know because I’m always in the clean room making 20L jugs of Pro.
