Digital BW, The Print

Paul
One other very good feature about the Canon's -- the print head is a very easy snap out -- snap in change. The cost per head is around $90.00. I have never had need to change one but it would not take more an a minute or two to do. I think I have made over 400 - 8.5 x 11 color prints so far.

  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?
