Vincent Oliver over at Photo-i has started an interactive review of the new Canon PIXMA iP8500 printer. Vincent is well-known for his excellent printer reviews, so his verdict on the new Canon range will be well worth reading.

“The eyeball close ups are my next test. This is to see the size of the print dot and if there is any gaps in the printing. As previously stated, the high resolution of today’s printers makes this test superfluous, as you can’t see the dot without the aid of a magnifying glass. The ip8500 uses 6144 nozzles to deliver 147 million 2 picolitre drops per second - WOW! This ensures ” grain-free prints of unsurpassed clarity” - I thought grain was normally associated with film. Strange how digital equipment manufacturers still look over their shoulders for film comparisons. “
