I have been observing this forum for several months. It is quite apparent to me that most of you are vastly worthy taking the extra steps to go beyond `mere machines and promises'. We are `of kind' and not of those who complain of technological faults, rather those who capitalize on faults, features or whatever.
The real concept point from DAY ONE in any rookie birth is to assume that "[any] process, [any] chemistry and [any] tools" don't work and that it is the individuals that will MAKE them work. It is our techniques and ideas that move stagnant technology forward. If you need to rely on the success of Steve Jobs stay with the Mac's and the Epson's. I'm more used to PC'ers who KNOW the technology ISN'T working and devise ways to MAKE it work and sell it. Give EVERYBODY and ANYBODY an HP printer and ONLY a FEW will take it further. THIS is a paradigm that HP should want to encourage a select group of individuals that want to push technology like placing the single cell of `capability' into a Petri dish and watching to see what grows, when, where and why. Not entirely unlike like the arguments of Open Source programming. Having been in the graphics industry for 3 decades I know the dynamic that separates time-clock punchers from those smell invention and it is a wide berth. I began in a technology that did NOT work BUT we had to MAKE it WORK to the satisfaction of our bosses AND our clients folks without a shred of grace in those years. To this day, three decades later, we are still producing that product and every day it is still the same `wild stallion' that you have to tame with talent, technique and patience. >From what I have read, I think the majority of you will do well. The fact that you are in the forums reveals that you search. The `act' of searching reveals your humility in understanding that you lack knowledge. The first step to wisdom, is the knowledge that you lack it. So far, the best technique advice I've seen is regarding "rear feed" you have to be BOLD. The key to advancing beyond HP constraints is having coatings you can apply that will accept the new Vivera ink sets. If HP was wise they would release coatings to their customer base rather than dabble in short supplying pre-coated substrates. HP needs a free customer base and I will tell you this, once you have a coating to accept and cure HP inks on ANY substrate, the market is yours. While I have access to such coatings they are not of the quality HP could provide. If HP wants success they should bow to their clients.
