Not only attributing to the geographical relationship, I feel that both these printers have earned the right to be where they are today.

Here in UK, Canon is one of the top manufacturers followed by HP and then Epson for home market. The difference between the two markets as I see it is the legend of HP that has garnered consumers for so many years, and people still buy it despite the dwindling quality.

One brand that I expected to make inroads globally is Kodak. Surprisingly, it is not in the picture, both in UK and Japan.
