Michael & Team, We are considering the CM8050 for our non-profit organization. In evaluation of other vendors product color depth (ie: 4-bit/8-bit) has been a point of mention. Is there a standard bit depth classified to this machine or is there a hypothetical number of possible colors that the machine is capable of producing. It would also be very helpful for us to have a Flash Demo of all the control panel functionality to show ease of use to our users, is this a tool that has been developed or are there resources we can have sent to us for consideration? Finally, what is the scheduled release date for the new version of Web Jetadmin? I understand there is significantly greater accounting and usage reporting through this tool then previous versions.

Thank you for your comment, Dan. Michael Turner is on vacation, but I’m happy to address your questions.

The CM8060/50 accepts 8-bit per each channel (R,G,B) for a total color depth of 24 bits. Theoretically, this translates to about 16.7 million distinct colors.

HP Web Jetadmin version 10.0 will be available June 20th. You can follow our new discussion on Web Jetadmin by going to the main page of this blog and selecting "Web Jetadmin" from the category list.
