Default HP an interesting article

An interesting article in today's business section of the paper focused on HP's
printer/supplies business operations. Found some interesting details I thought
I would pass along.

* Create 700 different inks/mo & perform 7000 tests on each.
* $12B sales in 03 representing 16% of revenue.
* Has more than 100 different types of ink and toner cartridges on the market.
* R&D $900M annually.
* Avg price for ink cart. = $28.
* Ave profit for ink cart. = $16.80
* Current ink cart dispenses 36k droplets/sec from 512 nozzles.
* Original ink cart design dispensed 1200 droplets/sec from 12 nozzles.
* Holds more than 9000 patents on printer related inventions.
* a paraphrase from an HP exec., "it's a razor and blade model, loose money on
the printer and make money on the supplies."

Are you sure it's not online? Just copy a phrase and plug it into
Google -- often features are syndicated and turn up in many papers.

Don't know if it is on-line or not. Read the article in the paper so
have no reason for looking on the net. It was an article from a news
service.

By any chance are you asking so you can read the whole thing? If so
your post did not state that.
