Re: Seeking advice on printer

Giedrius-

I'm sure the Canon is a fine printer, but the problem is that most of 
the work done so far is with Epson printers...curves, piezo plugins 
etc. My advice would be to stay with Epson for now. The companies 
both provide great support, but the Epson user group, especially for 
BW, is much more evolved.
