[PrintOwners] Canon Tech Support

[Harry Brelsford]

Joe,

We had one of the original Canon w8200 pigment machines that we have 
worn out. The eight color iPF8000S  is its replacement and slotted 
right in and started working. It cost a lot less than the old one 
too. You get a twelve color version also but could not justify the 
extra cost as we don't go after the photo market. The old quality was 
OK but this is better and quicker.
