Canon PIXMA PRO-100 heading my way!

Long story short: my PIXMA MG5320 has suffered a printhead failure. Crying or Very sad
First not accepting inks, then the "Incorrect Printhead Installed" error.
It's a great printer, but a new printhead is costly, US~$100.

Current Canon rebate of US$200 against PIXMA PRO-100,
found an authorized dealer selling for $319, to bring my ultimate cost
to US$119!

Another forum mentions recurring sales/deals direct from Canon to obtain paper,
such as buy 1 and get 9 free, spend $30 on ink and get free paper, etc.
I'll only have to periodically check for their current offers, and I can obtain
a whole bunch of papers for free or almost nothing!


This is exciting!
I'll have a printer capable of printing some of the stuff I'd like to display at home
and give to family and friends.

It is just $59.99 after the rebate

Awwww, CRAP! Crying or Very sad
That offer wasn't available when I bought. DAMMIT!
Just like in January.

Well, it's still a damned excellent printer.
It arrived today and is generating exceptional quality prints.

I missed the good sale too, had to pay all of $119 too. But a fantastic printer, heavy too - replaced my aged Epson R1800 which is much lighter in weight. The network connection was easy so I can keep the printer where it's safe and out of the way. I just have to remember to turn it on and get it set up upstairs when I want to print.

Which reminds me, I want to try out the B&W printing - and fake platinum printing - on art paper. Guess this weekend is the time.
