Hi

I was wondering if they would do a 24" width version?. The dealer I spoke to
was very keen on pointing out the speed, but since I usually only do a few a
few prints a day, that¹s not the greatest selling point :-))

If the promised 4000 turns up, I'll see about getting some B/W prints from a
Canon as well.

bye for now

Canons are great for speed, but not for fine quality.  and of course dye in=
ks suck 
unless they are for your own use where you don't mind if they fade, or you =

them so they will fade more slowly.

There is a reason that all knowledgeable photographers uses Epsons with pig=
ment 
inks, partly not wanting to stick customers with fading prints.
