I would start with your local print shops - they should give you some paper samples that you can print out on so that you can select the paper, and the cost of the greeting cards is usually very reasonable locally. Maris - Original Message - From: Shel Belinkoff [EMAIL PROTECTED] To:

All correct, but my point was that you don't recoup the full $1,000 unless it is a tax credit. If it is only a deduction, you recoup only a percentage of the $1,000. Maris - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, November 23, 2001 12:32 AM

Deductions are not 100% money-in-the-pocket. It depends on your tax bracket. 100% amortized for a person in a 28% tax bracket means only that you have recouped $280 on the $1,000 you have spent, so you are still out of pocket by $720. Work out the math. Maris - Original Message -

I have the Epson C80 - pigment inks for long-lasting prints but you have to the right paper. Most matte papers work well, Ilford's Classic Pearl works well but will need a printer profile, Epson's PGPP works well and their Professional Glossy Paper works even better but has to be cut to size.

I don't know about shipping costs and duty to Canada, but Atlex.com sells the color inks for $8.xx apiece and the black for $24.xx, about $50 for the 4 total. I understand that there is a CIS system being developed for it hopefully due out early 2002 and that should save some money. Maris
