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

We all do what works well for us. I will look into the price
differences of rolls and sheets, and now you have me thinking about
that. But I do it for convenience too. I do such a variety of sizes
that rolls allow me to group things from various formats fairly
flexably. The one thing that I do is always give people fairly
significant white borders which the rolls allow me to have more
control over.

As to the sheet sizes. YES, so much waste with these odd sizes (which
were derived from the printing industry). 

Having to do constant nozzle checks, now that is something I think we
all argee about. There is no excuse for that, and that kind of waste
of time and ink is not acceptable. With the K7 it doesn't seem to be a
factor, and it wasn't with the 10K, so it is possible to keep that ink
out of the waste tank.
