Excellent to hear, Chris! Have you used the front loader for papers like Velvet Fine Art or similar type of papers? Is the front loader fussy, or pretty consistent?
Fun to hear the bw quality is excellent. I was able to get my office at work repainted and a bit of an upgrade in office furniture—actually it’s nicer used furniture that a sister school ditched, but it’s sooooo much nicer than the furniture we had; everyone in my department is just tickled pink with what we were given. Also, we were given a choice of 3 colors for one wall to be painted in our choice color—I chose a playful muted pinkish color, and on that wall I’ve started hanging matted, framed black and white photos—I call it my good’n plenty wall. The opposite wall is used for my color photography. It’s been so much fun planning and printing prints to hang on the wall. Since we have so many bookcases in our house, I don’t have much wall space to hang prints, so this has been a fun project. My desk faces my office door, and that wall I call my elephant wall—prints of elephants—my favorite animal. The wall behind me has a bit more political theme—I have a poster I love with the “Make Art Not War” message. It’s one of my favorite posters. Anyway—getting a bit windy and wordy here!
