Hi

I was wondering if they would do a 24" width version?. The dealer I spoke to
was very keen on pointing out the speed, but since I usually only do a few a
few prints a day, that¹s not the greatest selling point :-))

If the promised 4000 turns up, I'll see about getting some B/W prints from a
Canon as well.
