Re: Canon Printers

Thanks for the info. I am looking at a Pixma 8500 for my colour work 
as I have found the Canon inks to be very economical in Canada and 
the print quality quite remarkable for ink-jet. As for B&W - I think 
I'll try a C86 as they are inexpensive, and I gather from the 
excellent forum info that if dedicated to B&W from the start, 
operating costs are reasonable with the MIS cartridges. 
Thanks & Regards
