Like 90 percent. A real phenomenon. Like Photoshop for software almost which is probably 99.9. 70% pirated. Like Epson's for inkjet printing they get little serious competition and working with other brands makes ones work really lack credibility and legitimacy. Not that all of that is justified. Me I don't know what to say to people using a Minolta scanner to print on a Canon printer having problems. It's like the guy who brings in his Ford to get serviced and he asks what's wrong with it and the mechanic says "it's a Ford!" Mark Rabiner Photography Portland Oregon http://rabinergroup.com/
