Hi all,
Our Faculty print shop is upgrading from our old HP Designjet 5500s and we've decided to go with the Canon 8300. We're about ready to pull the trigger on the purchase, however I've started re-investigating the 8300S. The problem is that our customers (students and staff) want exceptional quality and they want it as quickly as possible (Architecture students with deadlines, Professors with gallery exhibitions, etc). Is the 8300S significantly faster than the 8300 and how comparable is the quality? I haven't been able to find a comparison online and I haven't found a retailer in the city that has an 8300S to look at. Hopefully someone out there has had a chance to demo both units, or has come across a comparison that my google searching's missed.
Thanks for your help!
