The MX-80 is probable $100-150 under the same conditions. This machine is based on the Canon PC-20 machine (the Jack Klugman (Quincy) advertisments) and likely comes without much interface (supplied by OEM). The copier goes for $1295 and the cartridges for $65 from Canon distributors in a high volume business. The prints I have seen from the machine are excellent though done in a simple Helvetica 8 or 10 point at 300 spi. Pete Crean
