Live from San Diego HP NYSE HPQ Imaging and Printing event

Im at HPs annual Imaging and Printing event for the Press/Analyst community, in San Diego. The weathers beautiful, but its not like wed know it, with the full schedule HPs packed in for us over these few days. And while the "live" usage in this posts title might indicate otherwise, "live blogging" this event is out of the question, at least with my limited observational and typing talents. Its a three-ring circus here, as it should be, with HPs ever-broadening coverage of the printing and imaging field.

So I will direct my readers to a collection of press releases* for now, and will highlight a few of the high points from HP (NYSE HPQ) printer chief Vyomesh Joshi (aka VJ) and his kick-off presentation yesterday.

VJs highlights included these vital financial stats from the last year: IPG revenues of $29.4 Billion, with an overall 15.4% operating profit, and 8% revenue growth attributed to the supplies portion of the total. Not to be satisfied though, he identifies an overall $265 Billion printing opportunity for HP, comprised of the growing digital portion of the imaging and printing business, now pegged at 10% of the total 53 trillion pages to be printed in 2010. Strategically, VJ spotlights the transition in the view of the business from "Printers" to "Printing" to "Pages".

So much to discuss, so little time. Now off to more sessions!
