I heard that May 11 was the release date on the Edgeline 8050/8060. We're still waiting for our unit to show up at our warehouse.

I have heard that these units may be readily avaialble in August or September or maybe longer!
Our first two edgelines showed up in the wooden crate today. We will install them on Monday.
Great! Please let us know how the install and ttraining went. 
The actual set up went pretty smooth. I think we have a bad black print head though. We're still talking to a real engineer person at HP not somebody from Bangalore. I think we'll have it resolved tomorrow.
Warranty heads now on order. One of our salesreps is looking at our demo unit. He's a bit disappointed about the finisher not doing booklets. It also takes a long time to print ledger full color stuff. Lots of time around the drum drying off. We explained to the rep that the copy quality is better than a Riso but not as good as xerographic. The product does have a niche market.....especially with a limited finisher.
We clocked the 11x17 color at ~5 PPM.
A neat trick to do with the machine is to print out a document and then use a highlighter to mark an area. If you rub the highlighter back and forth (don't have to press hard) the area you highlight will smear.
Then leave it on your desk for 24 hours and try it again, it still smears (bad enough that text becomes a black unreadable blob).
