I read the marketing blurb twice but still have no idea what this is for. It draws on the floor for construction projects? Why? Either there's no building or there's a building. If there's no building, then where does it draw on? If the building is already there, then what's the drawing for?

I’m trying to put myself in your shoes here, but I don’t understand how you wouldn’t know that (no building) to (building) isn’t a single step.

I just couldn't imagine any phase during construction where there's a floor that can be drawn on but no walls.

Another commenter explained that this is actually about drywalls that are installed after the fact, which makes much more sense now.

It's for the phase where there is part of a building. Specifically, when your building looks like [0] - so basically just an empty concrete shell. With a lot of commercial buildings it is up to the tenant to install the interior walls, as everyone will have slightly different requirements. The Twin Towers were a great example of this: all of the structural support was done in the exterior walls and the center core, s…

Thank you!

About 20 years ago I was working in IT, and I was responsible for the physical build out (from a shell) of 599 North Mathilda, Sunnyvale - The foundations and outer walls/roof were up - but nothing inside. I had responsibility (working with consultants who did this for a living) to work with the project manager, and architect/GC. All of the datacenters (back when companies put data-centers in their buildings), IDFs,…

This seems like the just-world response. But how can one force this? If they just say "No" you end up taking them to court and delaying the construction of your house. You endanger the contracts for downstream work. I had a landscaper screw up just about everything they could building a retaining wall, and they couldn't even get me an extra bag of grass seed after the fact.

Depends on the country. In France, and I think in Europe, you have 4 (IIRC) legally mandated visits during the construction. At each one of those visits, you have the right to suspend the next payment (you pay a legally mandated percentage of the house after each one of those visits). I also had measurements issues and a contractor that tried to force it to me. I just said I will not pay until it's fixed. The next we…

That makes a lot of sense as a system. No courts, just I'm not paying you until it meets specifications

Was there ever a 'why' given? Did someone not take into account the width of the framing or something weird?

HP gets a lot of crap for home printer quality and ink DRM, but does still have some neat products like this. The industrial printers for example, especially the PageWide Web Press line are impressive. The T1100 is a huge beast. Then there are the life science products that can do precision dispensing of fluids for life sciences and drug discovery. Some of them also do individual single live cell dispensing.

TBH my LaserJet 451dn died recently and I bought brother colour 3270cdw. The quality of colours is awful, almost unbearable. I remember I could print a photo with HP but the Brother fails that task spectacularly for some reason - quickly colours go to overdrive and bleed

Hey guys and gals, before giving me a downvote do you have any resolutions for me? I've been searching for it quite a long time, and would accept any drivers or color profiles that could help. However it seems that color profiles are not a remedy. I was even thinking of switching back to HP but I'm scared of toner prices and remote bricking

Maybe the problem is your original comment didn't seem like you were asking for any kind of help to resolve this.
