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. -BK ----- Original Message ----- From: "Don Rooney" <donr@...> To: <DigitalBlackandWhiteThePrint@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Saturday, April 20, 2002 10:41 AM Subject: Re: [Digital BW] Canon printers > Barry > 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. > All of these take individual carts and are 6 color machines.
