Thanks for that, I must say though that you trully are dedicated to the craft to get those photographs. I've seen a bit of snow maybe 3 times in my life. Cannot imagine how it must be to breathe let alone lie in snow at -20.
Is the printer trashed or just one cartridge. I normally take the cartridge in soak the head for about 30 sec's in a saucer of boiling water (don't get the little brass squares wet) or until the ink starts running again. Works like a charm and uses less ink than that infernal epson head cleaning thing they put in. The most common reason that the jets block is that you havn't switched on the printer for some time. Your printer should go on at least once every 24 hrs, the machine heast the ink to a certain tempreture which prevent blockages. Maybe its just to cold brrrrrrrrrrr Feroze ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dr E D F Williams" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, October 28, 2002 2:30 PM Subject: Re: Just say "No" to burn-out Re: Photographic Training > I choose one of the built in profiles that come with the Olympus ES10-S. > Usually one of them gives reasonable results with the film I'm using.
