Digital BW, The Print

Great news, indeed! Has anyone seen any guesses as to the price ranges for 
these machines?
My hope would be that they would undercut Epson by a couple of hundred, 
forcing Epson to drop by a little more, and so on, and so on....<G>

This is great news for the "comsumer". Nothing like competition in a
free market.

Canon has the resources to crush Epson if they so choose to.

Hopefully, Canon's pigment inks will rival Epson's in the longevity
testing. That's what everyone will be looking at, IMO.

I never had a fault with Canon printers, other than the fact that the
inks faded relatively fast.

I looking forward to the "data" and "testing". Bring it on!  :>)
