30D & 12"D" Size speed offerings
estimated MSRP of $75K for 30 "D" system
estimated MSRP of $50K for 12 "D" system
Color Ink and Black are the same cost
Limited Dealer Distribution of 60 nationwide
Have to have back up print head(s) in stock, very expensive print head
If you are a KIP, OCE or Ricoh dealer you have to drop those lines to carry Pagewide
Not talking cost per square foot for ink

Wow! Have to drop your lines. I am sure dealers will flock to HP now. That never seems to go over well with a dealer owner. I know in our office when Ricoh asks us to drop one of our other lines, its not a pleasant conversation for them. We go through that with them at least a couple times a year.
