世論 What Japan Thinks

My Canon is a single-function inkjet, so I’m quite close to the norm according to this survey from goo Research, reported on by japan.internet.com, into inkjet printers.

Demographics

Between the 6th and 12th of January 2011 1,060 members of the goo Research monitor group completed a private internet-based questionnaire. 53.8% of the sample were male, 16.7% in their teens, 18.7% in their twenties, 20.2% in their thirties, 16.3% in their forties, 15.8% in their fifties, and 12.4% aged sixty or older.

I plan to upgrade shortly as the print head is getting a bit worn out, and although the head can be cheaply replaced, I’d like to get a Brother so I can interchange ink cartridges with my multi-function phone/fax/printer/scanner/SD card printer/kitchen sink.
