Canon w8400
« on: January 18, 2010, 03:40:06 pm »

The new guys in town have a W8400. I currently don't have a lab printing my stuff but am looking around. I can't seem to find any reviews of this printer through google... Anyone have an opinion (on the printer, not my search woes)?

Thanks in advance!

That's an older printer that's better suited for signage work than fine art work. It's not a bad printer at all (and quite fast) but the newer inksets, printheads and dithering patterns have really pushed "the state of the art" forward.

6 color printer, introduced in 2005. More for graphics/Cad market, for fine-art printing somewhat dated compared to latest crop of printers.
