Or print envelopes that have a chance of being readable after
getting wet.

He was not talking about the ip8500 nor the ip9900 which "some" would
call "wide". He was refering to the "wide" as in things bigger than a
A3+(Super B). I know lots of people call the ip9900 wide, so I don't
blame you for being confused. I prefer the use of "wide" as refering
to things larger than standard paper, and even the ip9900 is just a tad
wider than legal is long, vs things that are plotter sized.

http://www.wide-format-printers.org/Canon_BJ-W9000wideformatprinter/CanonBJ-W9000_inkjetprinter.htm

Needless to say he was refering to the imagePROGRAF(tm) ink find on W
series printers, the really Wide ones.

I know, I don't blame you for being confused... where if you call epson
asking about wide printers, they tell you the current line is the
stylus pro 4800/7800/9800. They don't consider 13 inch to be wide
format at all. Either their consumer division is smart enough that we
yanks call a A3+ printer wide, or they don't know any better.

But the W in the wide format printers near as I'm aware stands for
Wide, rather than the ip9900 which still a desktop printer rather than
true wides which are well, either desks or need their own desk.

My rule of thumb is if it takes standard paper sizes length wise or
width wise, it's standard format... letter or legal. If it's bigger
than paper, it's wide format. One may also refer the wider desktop
printers as a3, a3+, super B, 13" wide to 15" wide (I can't remember
the inch equilivent to A3+ off the top of my head). Just like you'd
call a desktop printer a letter sized one, it resoves all confusing on
this *wide* issue thanks to Canon... the leaders in confusion. You can
take it, or leave it and call it what Canon calls it even though they
are dead wrong.

You wouldn't say that if you had to deal with any form of bulk mailing.
Every extra step adds time and every extra little piece adds money.
Besides, anything more than light rain would get the paper wet, and
cause the ink under the tape to bleed. This is no fun. It's the main
reason I got a laser in the first place... I live in washington and
every other day my inkjet printed addresses would bleed. I e-mail more
than I did then, so it's not a big issue, and the HP wasn't "so" bad.

You should say just use windowed envelopes and no big deal, but those
cost ever so much more.

The confusion is very natural. I see people from all walks of life use
the wrong term not just bottom tier minium wage flunkies.

My ruling on this issue that the it's Canon's fault and not measekite's
for putting on all their sales literature wide format ip printer. This
causes people esp their high paided sales reps to look like idiots.

If you *really* want to know what I think... I'd think it was winter in
Washington and they didn't want the ink to run, and they were out of
those clear postage labels.

I don't think a professional business would even consider using an
inkjet with a paper feed that can only fit 20 or so envelopes. But as
far as a small time operations go, esp cottage industries, and my only
choice was inkjet, i'd go with transparent shipping labels rather than
scotch tape over the addresses if it was an issue. I still have some
in my drawer somewhere but haven't thought about them in a while, not
since december. To me this would look better than white labels which
is actually the choice among many charitable organizations if not a
combo of white with a clear one on top.

But to each their own, but you're asking the wrong person...

"The W8200 is a crowning achievement in wide format printing. Capable of
printing 44 inches by 18 metres it is available in either a dye or
pigment ink version. This means for the first time you have unrivalled
colour reproduction that will last."

Quoted from a Canon press release:
http://www.canon.co.nz/business/products/business/story_835.html
(Don't expect to be able to buy one for home use unless you are prepared
to spend a lot)

Now the question is if as Canon say that they now have unrivalled colour
reproduction that will last, then what about their claims for their
consumer dye based inkjets?

The closest I have seen to a real life test for Canon Dye ink (for their
current BCI-6 ink set longevity was published by "PC Pro" and the result
of exposed and behind glass comparisons over only a few months was:
"Canon's photos simply don't last very long. The level of fade is
substantially higher than seen elsewhere and being sealed in a photo
frame did little to help. This was even the case for ink/paper
combinations using its best PR-101 paper and is enough alone to steer
people right away from Canon's top-end photo printers. Uniquely, using
Ilford and even HP's top papers seemed to improve fade resistance (as
well as reduce cost)."
and:
"Epson's R800 is a clear winner due to its overall performance with a
variety of papers, not just the manufacturer's recommended options. It's
impressive enough that ink didn't fade at all (naked or behind glass) on
Epson's Premium Glossy Photo Paper, but it didn't fade on anyone else's
paper either."
("PC Pro", Issue 124)

OK - a few months doesn't mean that they will last 3 years - but they
last a hell of lot longer than Canon prints.

Heh - and a Canon rep told me that their iP9950 on PR 101 paper had 100
year archival properties...

You are totally incorrect. The ip8500 and the i9900 do NOT use
pigmented inks. Pigmented black used on plain paper are included with
the IP4000/5000 Pixma Canon printers.

You are TOTALLY INCORRECT. Look at my words - "PIGMENTED PRINTER"

I have a Canon IP4000 dye based printer. It does have an extra black
pigmented cartridge that is used when plain paper is selected. This is
what you can use to print envelopes with.

The Epson R800/1800 is considered to be a pigmented printer. It does
not use dye inks at all.

Agreed, but if the laser is on the fritz, and you got bills to send
out, and you ran out of those nice clear address labels... well scotch
time will do you. Though.... offices I know personaly borrow the clear
packing tape from the shipping department in this event, cussing under
their breath "stupid laser printer *rip* slap". That typical scotch
tape, the thin stuff just doesn't go very far... about 90 envelopes
assuming your letter head is on the return address....otherwise about
70. That 2 inch inch wide stuff more will cover 3000 or 4000.

Unless you want to print envelopes with color ink, in which case John
Henderson is absolutely correct and :"you are TOTALLY INCORRECT" (direct
Measekite quote.)

A more temperate suggestion from you would be - I have a Canon IP4000 dye
based printer. It does have an extra black pigmented cartridge that is
used when plain paper is selected. This is what you can use to print
envelopes with IF YOU WISH TO PRINT THEM IN BLACK INK. You change my
messages in an effort to make me look stupid. Since you regard me as the
Holy One, perhaps I should change your messages to correct your errors and
mean-spirited statements so you won't look so supid and opinionated.

You could have left out the TOTALLY INCORRECT reference on two counts: 1)
no need to criticize or chastise someone who is trying to help the OP and 2)
you were partially in error yourself. Many people buy Epson printers
because they have read evaluations of dye vs. pigmented inks and just want
their prints to last as long as possible. These printers are not only
people who wish to sell their prints.

The Epson R800/1800 is not "considered to be a pigmented printer," it IS a
pigmented printer.

Total stopgap measure, otherwise it's tacky as sin. 2 inch wide stuff
cut squarely isn't *as* bad. Though I have seen masking tape used in
one case. That's tacky too but gets inovation points as they were
nicely trimmed, and actually it was from a painter.

But needless to say my order of preference would be similar to yours

1 laser network copier
2 pigment inkjet
3 envelopes with window (very popular if a tad spendy)
4 inkjet with clear label on top / white label clear on top (this looks
smooth to me)
5. inkjet / inkjet white labels inkjet directly
6. typewriter (usually next to the copier gathering dust, time
consuming)
7. Plotter
8. pen
9. sharpy
10. clear tape
11. masking tape label (saw a blue one from a painter, but I think that
was intended)
12. crayon


> Choice #5 email, #6 telephone. 🙂

Some to think about it, I don't see clear tape ontop of labels as often
as I once did, because my isp bills via e-mail.

It wasn't so much standing up for measekite but rather putting the
blame where it belongs, with canon marketing who screwed up and decided
"Large Format" was a better term for their W (wide format) series
making a whole generation of sales managers look stupid.... which well
may not be a bad thing, except for photographers who are excited and
call asking about landscape cameras.

It was the reference to "wide format" and "pigment inks" in fredricks
post I was referring to. Nothing to do with canon reps until mesershit
brought them into the discussion because no one had, beforehand made
reference to them.

Zake - your are extremely kind in saying you don't blame Measekite for being
confused. When you pointed out that you were describing printers that were
not in their consumer division and that the units using pigmented inks are
really "wide" format commercial units he should have been adult enough to
thank you for pointing out that Canon, contrary to his statement, does make
printers that use pigment based inks (beyond the bci-3 carts in his
printer). The fact is that his experience, like most of us on this NG, is
limited to consumer units. Instead of being so adamant, defensive, and
combative, it would be to his benefit to have an open mind and learn from
someone like you who's experience is broader than his. It would benefit
everyone in the NG if he would accept that someone with experience in an
area in which he has no personal knowledge can know something that he does
not. Zake - this is beyond confusion. It is childish arrogance and boorish
behavior.

You are suggesting it as a stop-gap measure to cover your butt when plan A
