Has anyone seen any more info on the new Canon LF printer range? (due October)
I've only got the translated Japanese press info
http://www.northlight-images.co.uk/printer...n6300-8300.html (http://www.northlight-images.co.uk/printers/canon6300-8300.html)
Are there any announcements coming up in the rest of the world? I've seen Epson stagger releases through different offices, but not Canon.

Interesting info, but nothing from the official European sources in the Netherlands. Probably as we approach Photokina 2010 late September we will be getting more official news, not much earlier, although it's strange that Japan already has produced the press release. Maybe they are planning something for the IPEX 2010 (http://www.ipex.org/page.cfm/action=Exhib/ExhibID=29) in Birmingham in May, given the specific mention of Pantone coverage?
Cheers,
Bart

Read the translated-japanese canon website yesterday. A few observations: the whole press release seems to be talking towards offset/print industry less to photography. Lack of a 17" model. Further "only" evolutionary changes to the x100 series: newer inks/bigger gamut, better printhead carriage mechanics, improved firmware. But no things as an integrated profiling system like the HP's have.
Bottom line: for me no reason to rush out and get a new one to replace my current 5100 but when ever I decide that I need a new printer a canon ipf will be again very high on my shortlist, especially as pricing is as with the x100 series: competative, not to say aggressive.

No Drupa but still a hectic 2010: Sign China Expo in March and 3 more in Asia, Fespa, IPEX, Viscom, Photokina in Europe, whatever in the US. An early announcement like this one, availability in October, looks like a tactical manouvre to outflank news from other manufacturers. This can not be good for their own sales of 24"-44"wide formats. The 24" and 44" have the fiercest competition I guess so an improved version for them is sensible. The iPF5100 and iPF9100 can survive much longer without real competitors.
