I'll second that. I'm very happy with my S800. I did, however, invest in a
ColorVision Monitor Spyder for calibrating the monitor to the printer, which
I'd also recommend.

Mike,

What has been your experience with color fading? I'm considering a Canon as a replacement for the HP my wife uses (due to all the raves on Canon's quality and speed) but the first negative I've seen on these printers would be a significant one (just for me <g>, not my wife).

See http://drycreekphoto.com/PrintTest/results.htm if you missed my original query on the subject.

Thanks,

Dan Scott
