Didn't read the whole press release, but 12 inks?!?! They could give the printer out for free and still make a fortune on ink sales.

That's pretty much what they do. The Printers are usually priced only a little higher than a new set of ink for the printer. :confused:

Listing at $999 they may not be losing too much on this one.

Certainly not selling one to me. ;)

Would it work with my direct print button?


Don't try to confuse me with the facts, my mind is already made up.

Does anybody know about the theoretical cost of these inks?

I work for Canon and sell the 12 color 60" wide format product. A set of inks for that device can cost in excess of $2000

about $35 a piece retail, so that's over $400 a set: http://www.usa.canon.c​om …_1#SuppliesAndA​ccessories (external link)

It says the tanks are 250% the size of normal tanks, and one would presume with more colors it needs less of each color to make a dot on the page.

$2000 sounds like a bunch, but you need BIG tanks to make a worthwhile number of 60" wide prints, so it isn't as bad as it sounds. Consider a 60" print might be $200+ at a lab and paying $2000 for a set of tanks that can make a few dozen of those is a good deal.
