Digital BW, The Print

All I can say is that now it looks like Canon caught Epson with their 
pants down. If they have functional machines at the shows, then they 
can probably hit the expected market by June, only problem might be 
that heir expected market might be larger than they think. Might see 
a bunch of used Epson x800 printers on ebay for dirt cheap real soon 
(depending on the actual price of these new Canon machines). When you 
consider the price of the 6 ink Canon wide format is still higher 
than the price of the 8 ink Epson machines, they may or may not sell 
that many. Guess we'll find out in another 2 months or so. Mostly I 
think it's great to have some (hopefully) lower priced competition to 
Epson machines. The Da'Vinci is all great, but the cost is a killer. 
It'll also be interesting to see how the third party ink market keeps 
up with these new thermal printers.
