[Digital BW] Re: Piezo vs. Imageprint 4

2002-05-09 by tomoc

Robert-

I have the same issue...only worse...all my printers are desktop and 
when I talked with them, they really had no solution for the desktop 
world. In fact they really are only focusing on the wide format 
printers. This is astounding to me since it seems to me they would be 
selling thousands of copies of a desktop version that worked with all 
the printers that Piezo works with??

Or am I missing something?
