Misleading statements from Canon rep on published print life figures
Earlier this week I attended "Focus on Imaging" - a trade/enthusiast
show in the UK, and challenged a Canon rep on the question of print life for the Canon range (specifically the new i9950 - aka i9900). He said it was stated on the brochure, and was sooooo surprised when I pointed out that it wasn't! Then he said (several times) that it was on the web site, and gave me www.canon.co.uk as a reference. I cannot find this anywhere on the web site. Can anyone help? He also mentioned Wilhelm Imaging Research Inc, but their web site seems to have very few test results. Are these mostly just for manufacturers to see? I can't see me buying a Canon printer without some statement on print life, especially in the face of the new Epson R800. TIA -- Alan F Cross |

The gist is that it uses fluorescent light, which lacks some of the frequencies prints will experience in 'real life'. There's also some excellent information on coatings which can considerably increase print life. Jon. |
