    Canon ImagePress C6000 Review

    For the past 20 months I've been using a Canon ImagePress C6000. I'm a fairly light user only putting 50,000 clicks or so a month on the machine, but almost all of them are Carolina C2S 12pt card stock, so it's a bit heavier than normal usage. I use a Creo rip to drive it. The Good: - The...
