What's with the Canon Pro 9500 and Pro 9000 printers? Canon announced them in February but as of today they are not avaialble and Canon has them listed on their website as "coming soon".
They sound good as they use 10 and 8 inks respectively. The pigment version Pro 9500 has archival ink lasting up to 100 years. The dye ink version Pro 9000 uses ink that lasts a lot longer than today's dyes.
Wish they would get them out so we could use them and see if they are as good as claimed.
Ed, it seems that their larger brother is coming around. There is an announcement on luminous landscape for future review:

On the other hand, as A3 printers are in question, there is an interesting review starting on photo-i about new HP printer:

Things are getting hotter for Epson (I hope).
