What I meant to say GHWells is that, for the very reasons you supply, to which I would add the cost of the "new" inks, the Canon line is going to run into a brick wall, and the "old" non-chipped i9900's may hold up in resale, and the new ones will be discounted very heavily. There is no panic remaindering of the i9900's that I can see. If you hear of any let me know. You are correct about the office stationery store market. Buyers there have been thoroughly trained that an 8x10 is a large picture. Most "normal" customers want to put their printer on a shelf, so the weenie ones do 99% of the market. Then there is the problem of finding any assortment of large paper outside of mailorder and/or the big cities, and the expense of it. One reason the public wants only 8x10 is that the picture frames with mats for sale in Wal-Mart come in that size. They do have bigger ones but I find that everyone does 8x10. Also, you can proof an 8x10 on typing paper and that makes some think that they are saving money.
