Due to different suppliers and delivery conditions, there may be price differences compared to other suppliers, especially in international comparison. We always try to offer prices in line with the market, but this is not possible for all products.
the minimum price (160.-) was caused by the external supplier Conrad, who probably sold off their excess stock.
Canon may also have produced too much...
IMHO this is the "price" we have to pay for the very positive price development chart - here and there there are outliers that are not rational.
The printer is a worthwhile purchase even at the current price (249.-), I for one am satisfied.
