    --  Bubble Jet Printing -- Canon's full line of color desktop and
        photo printers for the small office/home office customer
        features the unique Canon ThinkTank System -- individual ink
        tanks which allow the end-user to replace only the color that
        has run out, a great cost savings for Canon customers.

        The Canon ThinkTank System also features an Optical Low Ink
        Sensor to alert customers before they run out of an individual
        ink color. PC World, which recently tested the Canon S450
        Bubble Jet printer with the Canon ThinkTank System stated,
       "Canon has finally shipped an ink jet printer that outperforms
        most of the competition" and the magazine rated the Canon
        ThinkTank System as a key feature in stating the S450 printer
        is one of the least expensive printers they tested for cost of
        ownership per year (PC World, November, 2000).

        The full line of Canon Bubble Jet printers with the Canon
        ThinkTank System (estimated street prices of $99(a) to
        $299(a)) will be on display at the Canon booth.

        street price $299(a)).

        The Canon LR-1 PrintStation, which originally debuted earlier
        this year and was the industry's first printer specially
        designed for cruising the Net in the living room environment,
