I like the build quality and autocalibration of this beast, it looks
wonderful for repro shops etc.who are HP's traditional clients.
Whether it'll break Epson's lock on the fine art and photo market is a
different question.

I fully second Roger's impressions. I just had the opportunity to see and
briefly operate one of these printers at MacWorld 2007 (with thanks to my
friends at Spectraflow), and I was won over.
A very remarkable piece of equipment, built with great care and impressive
attention to detail (as Mr. Michael Reichmann rightly states in his
informative review at <http://tinyurl.com/ynjylj>).
The results are excellent, both in color and in what may well be unsurpassed
black & white using non-custom inks (very neutral under just about all
common light conditions that I could test, and very smooth output even when
viewed very closely with my 60x pocket microscope).
Incidentally, the black & white output on this printer uses only the 3
non-chromatic inks -- unless a toning effect is requested--, whereas Epson's
Advanced Black & White option uses the black inks plus C, M & Y.
I've been an Epson fan for a long time, but, in my view, the introduction of
the HP Z-3100 represents a new stage in the game of inkjet output, and it
will now be up to Epson to match or surpass this HP printer.
And I do hope that they will take the challenge and amaze us.
