Well, Dots is a bit on the high priced side and DJ500C's have now been 
superceded by the DJ550 C's which have all 4 colours in there (2 cartridges)
and print way faster. These will be widely available November 1. It would
be, I suspect, a mistake for most people to select a 500 over a 550.

The 500C dropped in priced by almost $300. Given that Dots does not support
the 550C, perhaps the publisher should consider dropping the price!
