does/has anyone used these canons for proofing on newsprint?
i work for an ad agency and we're investigating the possibility of
bringing our proofing in house. i've had great experiences in epsons
(at my old agency) and hps. in fact, we get hp proofs from newspapers
when we request proofs for colour critical work.
unfortunately, we can only begin to look into epson and/or hp if canon
does not offer anything that can closely match to these printers. and
yes if you had to guess, canon is one of our clients.
any input would be greatly appreciated.
