Issue #0626/1 - Canon’s current range of A4 inkjet devices, single function printer and multifunction AiO, includes just one 6-ink machine – a printer – all the others, including all AiOs are 4-ink or 5-ink.
Issue #0626/2 -According to a recent survey, IT directors may be getting a raw deal in their organisations because their departments suffer from a wrong perception amongst executive management.
