[PrintOwners] Canon Wide Format Color

[Dick Latson]

Joe,
  That is one of the ones I am researching as well (I think). I am 
waiting on some quotes from my vendor and would be happy to pass 
those along to you. My literature shows the 44" model number as a 
W8200. Am I missing something?

  As an aside, in all my years in this industry (30) this wide format 
has got to be one of the most confusing and difficult pieces of 
machinery I have ever researched. The above post is a perfect 
example, IPF? what the heck is IPF I find that nowhere in the 
information I have been getting from my Canon dealer. Then there are 
the considerations of cost per foot, ink types, substrates, throat 
width, dpi, scanners, software, speed, cost, on and on. It makes my 
head spin. Perhaps I am making it out to be more of an issue than it 
is. Maybe that is why little feed back is received when we post about 
this subject, there are just to many variables to give any concise answers.
