HP PAGEWIDE A3 P77xxx and another

Hi everyone, I have had an HP Pagewide Pro 352DW A4 for several years and I am quite satisfied with it. I have always had little faith in this technology because if there are any clogged nozzles, printing is compromised and there is no way around the problem, which with a traditional printer is sufficient to modify the print quality to "cover" the problem of some clogged nozzles with more passes. In addition to not understanding why HP has stopped producing them, perhaps because of this type of problem, given that on the Pagewide A4 - A3 technology the cost of the head is so high that its replacement is not convenient, while on the XL plotters it is part of the consumable material (400-500 Euro each). The real and only advantage remains, the printing speed sometimes better than some professional lasers. Printing 1,000-2,000 A4 even in double-sided becomes child's play, without having to change drums, belts etc. and at a cost of practically nothing (I installed a continuous feed kit). However, returning to the Pagewide A3 format, I wanted to know if there is a comparison table, as I intend to purchase a Pagewide HP77940 refurbished, but I see that there are also HP77440 77540 77640 and other numbers. Also if any of you use this type of printer I was looking for a cheap 80/90gr. paper, which would make the colors stand out more, because inkjet printing has always had this flaw, that is, the colors are dull compared to laser printing. (we are not talking about photo paper but ordinary paper). I have already tried some papers declared Colorlok but I have not seen any appreciable differences. I await your opinions on the matter. Bye from Italy.
