RE: [Digital BW] Printers-Epson or Canon

2005-03-18 by Seth

IMO, the 4800 vs. 5760 is a moot point.  I don't anybody --or why-- print
at that resolution.  It is imperceptible from 2880 w/ high speed off at all
reasonable and/or normal viewing distances.

As for the PX-G5000, I've never heard of it, so cannot comment.  If it has
pigment vs. dye in the Canon, that's an issue.  The pigment wins.
