Canon caused a stir with the BJ-F8500, positioned to be a challenger to Epson's Stylus Pro 5000 digital proofer. Both are six-color, A3 printers with similar pricepoints. Canon's ink-jet proofer is driven by a Best RIP. Also from Canon, a new series of large-format ink-jet printers appearing in 24˝ and 36˝ widths and driven by EFI RIP technology are on the horizon.
