Digital BW, The Print

I have not looked at Canon or HP lineups in years, although I do have an 
HP multifunction machine and 2 Canon 6-ink printers, all of which are 
older than my Epsons.  My impression of Epson is based on my very narrow 
experience with the C84, which I first bought in the summer of '04.  In 
the intervening 18 months, the C84 was replaced by the C86 which I 
gather has been replaced by the C88.  That struck me as a lot of 
changing in not a lot of time.  But maybe others change even faster.

Cheers,
Kip
