[Digital BW] Re: Canon 60" 12 color printer

2006-04-08 by Tyler Boley

guys, I know there is some use for it somewhere. It just kind of cracks me up how much 
attention this is getting amongst a community I 've been part of for long enough to guess 
there'll be liitle to no aquisition of this beast.
I have two 9xxx Epsons, but I mainly print for photographers. I have yet to put a roll on either 
one. No one has requested a print larger than Iris size. Don't get me wrong, I know it'll 
happen and this is coincidence, but still...
Even the production advantage, everyone wants different paper, and I can't select different 
Piezo ink blends across the width even if several jobs were on the same stock.
Could be useful for color, or large quanities of smaller Piezo if the inkset stayed the same 
like an edition.
But time is money too, and trimming out a bunch of small prints from rolls is a huge waste of 
time. If art paper, probably damage several of them.
But you watch, someone will walk in tomorrow with a billboard order, my greatest asperation.
Anyway, I'm more interested in it's image quality, yet to be seen.
Tyler
