BIOS Magazine has taken a look at the Pixma iP8500 printer from Canon, here's a short snip from their test report: "All of the new PIXMA photo printers feature Canon’s exclusive FINE high-performance printheads. FINE technology (Full-photolithography Inkjet Nozzle Engineering) delivers sub-micron level precision during the manufacturing process. FINE print heads are also the only consumer-oriented print heads to achieve an actual 1200dpi nozzle pitch. The iP8500’s FINE printhead has 6144 micro nozzles, capable of ejecting a staggering 147 million 2-picolitre droplets per second. This gets more ink on the page in less time and with greater accuracy for grain-free prints of superb clarity, contrast, colour range and smoothness of tone.."
