Digital BW, The Print

FWIW, I went to one of my local Office Depots this afternoon to get a Canon 
inkjet (i560) with their $20 and $50 off deals.  Their web site says 
they're out of stock and you can't add one to the cart on line, but the 
store had a half dozen of them on hand and gave me $20 off at the register 
with the coupon code number posted early on in this thread.  The store also 
had several of the Epson C84 printers on hand, but since I wasn't sure that 
the $50 rebate was available on that one (the store clerk checked their on 
line rebate database from his terminal and said the C84 was NOT included, 
as I had been told by customer service yesterday on their 1-800 number - I 
do understand others have received the opposite advice from Office Depot) I 
went with the Canon.  Net cost to me will be about $34, about $6 of which 
is sales tax.  It will go to college with my daughter in the fall.  I will 
be able to fill C, M and Y cartridges with Goodies ink and save her a bit 
on the color inks, but the black is a special pigmented ink in a fat cart 
that we will probably have to replace retail.  Oh well . . .

If I could have been sure that the C84 would qualify for the $90 of total 
discounts and rebates I would have bought one just to play with the MIS EZ 
inks, but since I already have Lyson Quads in a Canon 9000 and MIS UT Eboni 
in an Epson 860 to play with black only, I didn't feel like spending over 
$60 for another printer.  Maybe somebody else will run a super special on 
it sometime again.

Cheers,
Kip
