- According to a review in issue #7 of Amiga Computing: US Edition, February 1996,
- page 52-53.

- "...Canon have produced an extremely high speed driver for" <sigh> "Windows that
- will output 720dpi prints, but there is *no* equivalent for the Amiga."
-
- More sadly, there are no plans to ship this printer with a driver of any
- sort for the Amiga owner, althoughit can be used with the current BJC610" <I think
- he ment BJC600> "drivers that are available. However, because these were written
- for the BJC600 rather than the BJC610, they only work at up to 360dpi so you will
- only be able to use half the printers capabilities.
-
- Since Wolf Faust has always had such a good relationship with Canon there
- is a possibility taht the Windows software mihgt be reproduced on the Amiga, which
- would definitely be an improvement as everything is automated through it. As it is,
- your only option if you want to get the best results out of this printer (or indeed
- any printer) is to buy 'Studio'. The very latest version (2.10) supports the BJC610
- fully and outputs fantastic results thanks to the unque colour matching system it
- employs."

- God bless you!
