So this is kinda beside the point but related. I just got a missive
from Adorama about the Canon Pixma Pro-100 13x19 inch printer.
I've been using a Pixma iX6520 that I thought I got a fantastic deal on
a couple of years ago, it's only 4 color, (CMYK), but except for a
occasionally disappointing B&W renditions, it produces nice detailed
prints, that pretty accurately reflect what I see on my monitor.
The Pixma Pro-100 has a litany of features that I will never use...
However it does have one that I really want, it's an 8 color printer
that has three dedicated B&W cartridges.
The kicker, it's selling for $49.00 with free shipping, and the package
includes 50 sheets of 13x19 Canon semi gloss paper. I checked the specs
it's not even cheep paper!
The entire bundle is less that half the price of a full set of inks for
my present printer!
I have to keep repeating, I'm happy with my current printer.
I'm happy with my current printer.
I'm happy with my current printer.
I'm happy with my current printer.

I was getting ready to start printing 4" X 6" prints off of one of my
Epson printers for 2016 calendars I am in the process of producing,
but I had to buy some ink & paper.
I've had really good results from Bay Photo & have been pleasantly
surprised at their very reasonable prices on large prints so I checked
out their cost for 4" X 6" prints & found that I couldn't print myself
for the cost of their prints, including postage. With postage, Bay
charged me $.30/print. Using Epson 4" X 6" photo paper would have cost
me $.33/print, not even including the cost of ink! I ordered them last
Thursday & they arrived this afternoon.
While I like the control I have over my in house printing, I've given
nothing up by having Bay do the work for me. I sent them the highest
res jpegs I could, after I had perfected the images thru Photoshop. I
requested no changes from Bay and the results are every bit as good as
I have gotten in house in the past with out my time to sit by the
printer and feed paper to the machine.
Just thought others might be interested in my findings.
