InfoPrint v HP v Oce v Stream in full color continuous feed. InfoPrint in the lead around the first turn!

I'm pretty sure Oce has them beat on black and white books. As for newspapers my take is Oce then HP then Screen in the States. Don't yet know enough about about the rest of the world.

At any rate, 50 InfoPrint installations around the globe could turn into a pretty resilient printernet. Add some QR codes and Tinyurls to the transpromo stuff and maybe IBM + Ricoh will help make high school kids smarter.

Assuming of course IBM could get focused. Until then, I'm betting on Google + everybody else.
