wide-format prices??
Okay, I'm thrilled that good printers have become so cheap, but what's the deal with leaving wide-format prices so high? I mean, they're the same machines, just a bit wider, right? I realize that they don't sell nearly as much of the wide-format models as the 8.5" models, but still you'd think that simple competition between manufacturers would have brought the prices down on wide-format machines.
(Oh, and yes, my joy at having the first post is in incalculable supernova of glee.)
