Everybody who buys a 17" Epson professional printer is essentially buying a print head. The print head is pre-installed and needs a technician to replace it; if you need to replace it, by the time you net out the value of ink with a new printer you may as well buy a new printer. So this is nothing new.

The Canon Pro-1000 print head is user-replaceable - in fact you install it as you install the inks when you set the printer up. As for the price, where did you get that price from? It would be way too soon for people to be replacing printheads, as the printer just hit the market. For other professional Canon printer models the print heads were in the range of USD 400~500, so USD 1300 seems rather out of line.

In reading the manual, I didn't see anywhere where it had the user install the head, nor any replacement instructions.

It is probably in the installation instructions rather than the manual (it should be in both but it is a Canon manual).

I checked the site with the $1295 print head: for other printers their prices seem genuine, ie the pro-100 is $147, with RRP of $210.
Obviously it's not a serious price, since it's the same as the printer (or maybe you get a free printer and full inks with every order...).
