'Button Boy', and a new printer . . .

As part of my 'getting to grips with the new D80. Took this shot of a lad up the mast of his Dads yacht, Dad below on the winch, "thats high enough thanks Dad" says the boy.

Printed it out this morning, another visit to the marina, walk the dog, fiddle with boat, coffee, and give the boy a copy of his adventure.

 

The pointy of the post is, if like me you dont do much 'printing out', I was amazed at the quality of the 10x15cm that my new printer produced. It could have been a normal 35mm print, 250gsm gloss paper. ???? . . . . This will encourage me to print out and frame some of my favourites on A4 (10x8?) + border, should make a nice wall in my home that can change with time, the seasons and my mood?

 

Always been an Epson man, however I do find problems with lining if the printer is not used every couple of days. So I decided that a new 'all in one' was a need anyway; photocopy, scanning, memory cards, plus all sorts of gizmos. I purchased an 'HP Photosmart C5180'. It knocks the Epson off its perch 'big time', user friendly, super easy ink change, small foot print on desk, and the biggest factor; print quality and no need to cycle the printer every other day! forget to do this on the Epson and it can be half a dozen, ink wasting 'clean head' cycles.

 

Any one have any thoughts on hanging your own prints, preferences on printers????
