Re: Canon imagePROGRAF PRO-1000
I agree 100% with George on this. The P800 is very reliable and equiv. for most
people’s needs related to color gamut, etc, and so far has not dropped nozzles
like the 4900 (I have three that I test.)
Who’d have thought that creating a pressurized 17” printer would make it more
reliable than a non-pressurized one! /s (but seriously, even the epson 5000 is
not pressurized. It’s the same as the 4900 with a dust gasket added.)
Best,
Walker
