Anyone in China can tell me whether this printer is selling in China already? How much is it and how much is each inkcat?

Thanks. :)

Since no one can provide me any answer, I have actually bought this printer and made a numbers of test print. The following are my findings.

1. Ink usage very low, am printing A2 size for around 20 prints, average ink usage is around 3ml per print. With 12 colors of 130ml each, 3ml per print can roughly print around 520pcs of A2 per set of 12 color ink.

2. No need to change matt black and non-matt black ink unlike Espon printers, so you saved A LOT of ink everytime. Why? It is because whenever you change ink, you has to throw away those ink in the tube between the ink and the printhead. According to reliable source on the internet, it's a saving of US$75 everytime you swap the matt or non-matt black ink.

3. R,G and B color ink included, so you get real RED, real Blue and real green instead of mixing them. And since you don't have to mix the ink, you actually save ink as well.

4. The only A2 printer with 12 colours ink in the market.

5. Faster print speed then the rest.

6. 16bit plug-in of photoshop to print 16bit images.

7. Because it's using different kind of black at the same time, the shadow becomes more dynamic, in deep, very 3D kind of print.

Conclusion, if China roll out this printer in the future, buy it. I strongly recommended.

中国大陆市场也有的卖，不过只是说了一下专为印刷市场设计，办公性能出众，获得欧洲06年度的最佳大幅面打印机奖，没有找到专门的数码打样色彩测试介绍，就佳能一向的表现来看，不敢有太大的信心！
兄弟你介绍的一些特点都是大众化、办公性能方面的，看能不能搞点数码打样方面的测试，那就有价值了！
另外，你是老外吗？！！！
