Why can't you buy 8 x 12 inch Photo Paper for Epson or HP Printers? 35mm Film Cameras and Digital Cameras use the 2:3 proportions so they would fit 8 x 12 paper yet none is available. Anyone know why?

Anybody have words of wisdom about longevity of inkjet Matte papers? According to Wilhelm's testing they are more durable against fading than glossy "Photo" papers. Friends who use Epson Heavyweight Matte on an Epson 2400 report many years of non-fading display. Whereas Epson Photo Paper with...

In another thread, I mentioned a friend gave me a printer. Here is a picture of the HP LaserJet 2100TN hooked up at my house: http://i42.tinypic.com/kxq9t.gif The friend had it on AppleTalk (Macintosh), but I'm Windows and Linux (XP and Ubuntu). I plugged the printer into the router by the...

So I'm considering ditching the HP8450 I just got (good photos, great speed, inferior graphics). And have seen ultra raves for the Canon iP printers, especially the iP5000 (the ip4000 too, but not quite as much). Would this work for graphic output like making greeting cards, using non-proprietary...

This might be helpful to anyone on the list who is thinking about buying new equipment: Please spread this to other lists, as well, in the hopes that it will help others.

Can someone tell me, which is cheaper: refill inks or compatibles? I've become a fan of compatibles, they're dirt cheap (well compared to the original manufacturer ones). I've always been against using refills because opening them up is a messy process. (Well... at least this is what had in mind,...

OEM inks cause fewer problems than aftermarket ink. OEM inks are sold in all marketing channels. With OEM inks you know who the mfg/formulator is. With AfterMarket Inks Most vendors will not tell you who the mfg/formulator is. Most vendors fail to fully disclose all of the information concerning

I have a 3 year old Canon S820 that has started to print color photos and graphics that are way out of balance. Cleaning, deep cleaning, & cartridge replacement has not helped. Sometimes the thing works as expected with no errors and at other times it does not. Is this a print head problem. ...

I love this printer when it works. But I do not print constantly. The printer can be turned off for maybe a month or more. But when I need it I need it. I had no problems over the years with my old Canon Bubblejet 4300. But they do not make ink anymore so I got rid of it and got the Kodak 5300....

Having read the opinions on the Canon ip4000 (and 5000), they look good to replace my Epson C86. But, what are the downsides of the ip4000. Cost per photo, general ink costs etc. Have not been able to find much about them from a user perspective many thanks Larry

For my father's 70th birthday I prepared an exhibit of photos from his life. This project involved scanning hundreds of old photos from albums, cleaning them up and reprinting them as 8x10 prints. For the b/w photos I scanned them as 8 bit grayscale images, then when I cleaned them up in...

Hi folks, I'm having immense problems with an Epson Stylus Colour Photo 950 7 colour printer which continually holds up all my work and prevents me from meeting deadlines. I go to print a document in a hurry only to find there's no ink on the paper. I then go through multiple cleaning cycles to...

I downloaded QImages last month, and was quite happy with it. What I'm after is something that allows me to print multiple photos in any layout I like. The trial period on QImage has now expired, and I went to register and was rather shocked by how expensive it is. Is there anything else out there...

Hi, I am planning to buy an inkjet printer...the printer won't be used for high-end stuff...normally for printing black and white documents...accidently colourful stuff... the printer won't be used extensively as well...as I already have access to a laser printer at office... since no need for...

I cant even locate a product manual on canons site. useless. Does anyone know how to determine which black cartidged is used, when. I assumed the large tank was used when you select plain paper (default) and the small black used when you choose photo paper. This does not appear to be the...

I bought the Lexmark x1270 for $35 and it was total junk. Are there any decent inkjet printers for around $50?

Hi, Recently i bought a canon ip3000, it works great. I would like to know how to conserv ink on this printer. After printing for ~800 pages (most in black) it reports that its running low on black ink. Is this the best this printer can perform? Any suggestion or links would be helpful. with...

I have a Canon Pixima ip4200 and am considering the ink from Atlantic Inkjet for refilling. Does anyone have experience with their ink? Is it good, bad, indifferent?

Yeh, I think there ought to be a law that all rebates should be instant at the check stand rebates. At the same time they need to regulate the 3rdparty ink industry. At least they should have a full disclosure law. Mapanari wrote: I do rebates all the time, so I don't make mistakes.

I think I have enough with the Epson inkjet printers. The printhead clog regularly. I can unclog them but the ink also get use up rather fast. I didn't print many photos either. I am wondering if I get a Canon printer (maybe i9900), can I still use the Epson "Premium Glossy" and "ColorLife" paper...
