So I can only advise, this downright criminal rip-off advance by Canon put a stop: By buying omission.
It's like with cheap parts in modern television sets - the customer has to go as long as the junk out of the way, will be reworked to extreme, or market participant goes bankrupt. The customer is not only king in 2012, he is much more, especially in our relatively weak domestic economy. Does not yet seem to have arrived at the printer manufacturers.
So I will avoid as a non-photo-printing in the final consequence on the winner in color laser printers, and the hot OKI, Brother, Lexmark or Konika. Canon has died for me, something we notice customers us - how bad food in the restaurant. Pathetic.
