Digital BW, The Print

Has anyone had any experiences with the Canon printers?

As you know, I'm a big fan of competition.  So, if there is an alternate
printer for third party inks -- B&W quads in particular -- it would seem to
be a real boon to those of us on this list.

MIS has told me they are getting strong demand for quadtone inks for
the Canon S800, S900, S9000 printers.  They are just finishing a
Continuous Flow set up for them.   I

MIS thinks Canon has done a good job in trying  to come up to the Epson
standard.  If Epson is a 10 on the zero to 10 scale, then the new Canon
printers are a 9 + in MIS's opinion.

Some attractive characteristics of the Canon machines include that refilling
is easy, with no foam problems like the Epson's, and there are
no chips to deal with.  Moreover, each color has it's own cartridge and
they are see through.

Any opinions or interest in these machines?  I'm thinking a "no curves,"
modified FS-Neutral inkset might be a way to get the ball rolling in giving
Epson a little competition in our area of interest.

Any opinions or interest in these machines or quad inksets for them?
