A big old shout out to the kind folks at Hewlett-Packard, who through their Employee Product Gift Matching Program have helped Grist secure a new color laser printer and two new computer monitors. Grist-lovin’ HP employees made donations to our cause, covering 25 percent of the cost, and HP backed them up on the rest. (Picture under the fold!)

Partying around the printer
Grist staff parties ’round our new printer. Thanks HP!

Reader support makes our work possible. Donate today to keep our site free. All donations DOUBLED!

Thanks to their support, when we meet with people face-to-face, we’ll be able to dazzle them with beautiful, full-color versions of our work (printed on 100 percent recycled paper, of course). And soon, our staff will be laying out the stories you love on crisp, high-res screens.

This was a much-needed tech boost, and we are ever-grateful to everyone at HP who pitched in to help us. Go team!
