    New Plotter ?

    We just got our Canon ipf600. It's an amazing printer, about two thousand times better than our old HP488CA, however, I can't get all the print options to show up on our new Intel macs. I just called Canon and they are shipping out new firmware and drivers that should be Intel ready. The printer is truly great however, the only thing I'd grouse about I guess is that the ink cartridges are about $65-70 a piece (they do hold about 3 times the ink as our old plotter but seem to go through it a bit faster), and that the printer head costs about $600 when it comes time to replace it. The printer is not postscript nor does it comes with software ps rip. Although the folks at Vectorworks recommended we get a PS plotter when we asked them at Macworld, we decided to risk it since printing to our non-PS Canon i9900 seemed to be fine almost 100% of the time. (We don't really handle eps files.) We decided that if we do need PS, that we would print to .ps, rip it in OS X to a pdf and print that way. Hope this info helps anyone trying to make a decision.
