[Angee]

You won't be too yippy about the printer when you go to buy ink for the thing! Shit costs more than 3 printers...

Oh no it don't chica! The cartridge store sells the whole fucking kit for $40,nyahh,nyahh,nyahh!!! Besides,my problem with printers has always been that they aren't worth buying the ink for them. This printer has all of the printing capabilities that I want (9600 dpi for example) plus it can save me money because it uses ink down to 1 pico liter as opposed to 2 or even 4 like my old Dell did AND because it uses separate tanks for every color,I don't have to buy an entire new color cartridge because I ran the red ink out even though I still have lots of blue or yellow left. Each color retails for about $14 but I've seen them for $10 at regular stores. Both Canon and Kodak have this "ink save" feature. I've printed a couple pics and you'd think they were from the Photo Shack.

$75 for size 8 and there's a listing on fleabay for size 5.5 still looking!

[Amber Lamps]

What's the max print size?

Well the largest paper it takes is 8.5X11 if that's what you mean... Although,I'm going to test my camera phone's "panoramic mode tomorrow and see if it works like it's supposed to. It's supposed to line up the pictures automatically...we'll see.

Yes, that's what I meant. Your camera phone isn't going to do it justice. Poor lens and over sharpened image doesn't make for good prints.

Oh yea? You're probably right. I've been printing from my Sony p&s. I also have an old Fuji DSLR and my new camera phone is 8 meg...but I'm sure you're right that it won't be great but for 4X6s and such it should be ok,right? I keep looking at the Sony DSLR (something)350 14 meg,blah,blah,blah maybe....

Real Canon ink, or remanufactured shit?

[Amber Lamps]

Real Canon ink, or remanufactured shit?


Real Canon,why? There's a "color" kit with the 4 normal inks and the black pigment ink is separate. Even from Best Buy it's only about $60 total. Although,if it came to that,I'd probably get a new printer if I could get it at these prices...shit,I almost decided to buy two just for the ink!

Well,if you ever make it down here I'll give you my Dell 924 printer/scanner/copier. It needs ink or you can have the cartridges refilled,but I don't recommend it. I tried that and it sucks! Shit,I saw a Lexmark AIO at Walmart that's WiFi for $40...it's amazing how cheap shit has gotten.

If you're going to use it to print pictures, then it's "Real Canon BECAUSE." The cheap, third party inks are hard to colour balance and frequently mess shit up in the printer.

Yea,I always heard that 5 meg was equivalent to 35 mm although I understand about lenses and etc,if the picture is in focus and I'm printing an 8X10 on a 9600 dpi printer,I should be ok right? The other thing I don't get is why your "higher end" model is only 4800 dpi but has more nozzles and prints better pics?BTW that's a nice looking printer...my printer was wondering if she has a boyfriend?

Tigs...how is the printing quality on that sucker?

[Dave]

yo tigs shes a 7 1/2

[Homeslice]

Oh FYI. You don't need an OMG stupid megapixel camera for decent quality prints.
For 8.5x11 I would say you need a minimum of 5MP, but after that, lens quality, focus quality, and color balancing become more important IMO.

Also you need to study what kind of compression algorithm is being used.

I've seen quality 30X20 prints out of a 5MPix Olympus E-1. A travel/tourism shooting acquaintance of mine has had 30 FOOT banners up on the walls of Skydome, taken with his Canon 20D. You have to start with a quality shot; good camera, good lenses. from there you can up-scale to ridiculous levels. A little 5mm sensor with a 7.5mm lens just doesn't cut it, especially not when the 'camera' has been tweaked for consumer style output (over-saturated, over-sharpened).

[Homeslice]

An older camera I used to have had a compression routine where pixels close to each other would be forced into the same color. Even if you selected the "Fine" setting.

[Amber Lamps]

Tigs...how is the printing quality on that sucker?


Very,very good so far...although I apparently don't have the correct camera...J/K! As far as I can tell the pics look really good,heck I haven't even used my Picassa,Photoshop,Kodak or Canon programs to fix anything yet....I'm just printing them straight up and they look ok to me. As far as I'm concerned for $35 (after rebate) I don't see how I could have gone wrong!

[vickibocc]

Hate to tell ya but I got a $63 pair of dress pants for $8 thanks to a sale at Macy's plus signing up for the credit card (which i only use at macy's and pay off immediatly) plus the bonus discount for USING the macy's card.

I believe I win.

No.

Just very damn close. if you look at the XIF data it's only 40mm. ;)

Out in the Marshall Islands when i was supporting SMDCK, they'd have fireworks on Independence Day (my fav holiday btw) barge is about 800ft off the beach, fireworks pretty much exploding just over your head, it's something I don't think you could experience much anywhere else.


I did always wanna go phtoograph the celebrations in Sydney harbor or DC on the 4th.

Oh and the new printer is a huge success!!! I printed the same picture taken by my camera phone on my Canon vs my Sony printer and the Canon prints WAYYYYYYYY better! It's not even close. Although I must say that the Sony was a lot faster.

Not bad, not bad at all. I'm going to have to get that to the wifey and see if I can't finally convince her to head up Norht for a visit. For some odd reason she doesn't wanna visit Canada.. I told her it's not *that* bad.... Would probably still sit on the land... boat would be fun and all but open shutters and movement... well, you know.



Ummm, actually I went out for a ride w/ a coworker about two weeks ago up thru Monte Sato and a road I've started calling "Diet Cherry Cola" ;) But beyond that I have not. There's a bike nite every thurs @ Hooters.... but those crowds tend to have a bunch of people who enjoy doing stupid shit like stuntin' in traffic... So I tend to pass on those events. So I'm still looking for soemone solid to ride with. There's a kid down the road who has a bike, but haven't hit him up yet to see if he wants to do any riding.

Just tell her that she won't have to wear a winter coat up here in summer. One of my high school teachers, way back when, used to work as a border guard and told us that he lost count of the number of Americans who came to the border and asked how far they would have to drive in order to see an igloo.

In July.

There's a group that meets at a Sonic somewhere. OK, maybe there are a few :lol: It's the Sonic on Jordan Lane. I know a few folks up in New Market. KY's does a bike night every now and then.

Can't say that I know Riverton. The last time I was down there, was the first time I'd been near New Market. The friend I usually visit down there was getting married and we were sort of in, and out of New Market in minutes. I'll likely get to know it better the next time that I'm down, but she's lived in Huntsville, Gurley, Leeds, and now New Market in the last 7 years. Just when I start to know a place, she moves again :lol:

I could have met up with PC last year when he went for his friend's wedding but he didn't mention it until it was too late for me to ask for those days off.

Sonic's just not one of my favorite fast food places. Past bad service combined with bad experiences in dealing with them makes me shy away from them. They do have the best salads as far as fast food places though! If only they could get those right.... :lol:
