I have seen the picoliter (fineness of print) and the milliliter (content of ink tanks) being used by all companies who sell bubblejet or inkjet printers here in The Netherlands and I think it is all the same in the EU. Thank goodness, it is not picogallons and/or our old friend the US fl.oz, as in that case the slavish and never-asking-questions computer magazines would tell us "the fineness of print is measured in picogallons (pg) and the contents of ink tanks is measured by the US fl.oz". Just as my magazine states that computer ventilators are rated in CFM, more ifp trash from the computer industry for our consumption. I wonder whether I will get an answer to my message I sent a copy from to the list in USMA 17782.

Nice going, Canon! Hopefully this trend will catch up!...) <snip>
