LaCie’s 320 LCD Monitor; Three New Professional Display Models From LaCie
David B. Brooks  |  Mar 01, 2007

Initially, the smallest of these Canon printers available in Japan, the 17" wide, was not slated for the US market. Not long after, Canon announced the PIXMA Pro9500 printer, a new 13" pigment ink printer. I responded immediately to this announcement, requesting a unit...

Microtek’s ScanMaker i800 Pro Design; A Fully Loaded Legal-Size Flat-Bed Film & Print Scanner
David B. Brooks  |  Feb 01, 2007

When the new Microtek ScanMaker i800 model was released I held back until the i800 Pro Design model was ready for review. The reason for waiting for the Pro Design model was that after reviewing numerous scanners over the years I have come to the realization that the software driver is as important, if not more so, than the hardware. Like an automobile, scanner specs resemble an...
