Re: [Digital BW] Canon printers

2002-04-20 by Barry Kelsall

Don, how is their durability? As I said, my experiences are dated. Will the
bubblejet design work with pigment inks? I haven't kept up with Canon
printers. The BJC600 was only 300 dpi, if I remember. There are a couple
prints hanging around that still look like they haven't faded. But the
printer itself lasted just past the warranty. I foolishly had it overhauled
& it lasted 6 mos. more. Several smaller color & b-w units used on occasion
in an office environment fared about the same, though I never overhauled any
of them!

My experiences with  Epsons have been that they retire due to obsolescence,
not mechanical failure.

> The Canon's I'm talking about are the BJC-8200 (8.5 x 11), BJC-8500 (13 x
19) these are the older units and the S900 (8.5 x 11) and S9000 (13 x 19)
the newest units.

straight forward and easy. At least for me.
