An old standby....Canon's ANALOG desktop copier

Mon, 29 Dec 2003 01:54:52 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author mattgordon - While still being newly manufactured, the NP-7130 is a commercially oriented unit of high quality, BUT with this caveat: it is of ANALOG technology.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mattgordon - The imageRunner 60, is a 60 page-per-minute printer-only version of the popular, and VERY highly rated imageRunner 600 digital copier/printer made by Canon. They share the same, rugged and reliable printer "engine" or platform and it works.
