imagePROGRAF PRO-310 or PRO-1100: Where To Get Sample Prints?

[rmcx]

I currently have a Pro200 and am thinking of upgrading to a 310 (or possibly even an 1100).  But first I'd like to see some of my prints on those devices.  Is there some sort of service available somewhere that would do this?

I'm located in Oakland, California (about 10 miles from Walnut Creek).

Hi rmcx,

You might try The Looking Glass in Berkeley.  Sometimes Canon sends a rep there to demonstrate their printers. A call or visit to the store should be helpful.  Aren't there some professional labs that use the machines you refer to? I don't believe there. are any in Walnut Creed, where I live, but I'm sure I have seen some in the Bay Area, including Marin County.

I'm on Looking Glass' mailing list, but I haven't seen a Canon demo advertised since before they moved.  (Nor has Mike's advertised anything recently either.)

If anyone knows of a professional lab where I can specify the printer/paper/etc., please let me know.

The reason I mention Walnut Creek is that Canon has some sort of facility there:

I'm on vacation for a couple of weeks (Iceland!) and will try to contact them when I get back.
