I'm looking for an update on the Canon BJC600 Wolf Faust wrote that he
was writing a driver for it, but I don't know where to get it. He
also said there was no banding problem because of "shinglind" but I
don't know what that means. MicroCenter tells me there are noticable
bands, at least on black. It still looks attractive to me at half the
price of the DJ1200 Any comments?
Well, the Amiga CanonBJC600 driver is available on the CanonDisk in the
AmigaUser library.
Regarding the banding: yes, text printed with the BJC600 is not as good as
the same text printing in graphic mode. Using graphic mode you can define
a special paper type and remove banding/saturation problems. Anyway, I
found the banding much less than the DJ.
Regarding quality: the BJC600 is far superior to the DJ550C. The DJ1200 is
only a bit better than the BJC600, though, the DJ1200 has other qualities
than quality (speed, reliability…) as the DJ1200 is aimed at office
works.
