I've used Red River "Zepillin" dbl sided gloss to make calendars in the past and found that there's no showthrough. However, it is a 45lb paper but feels thinner to me.
Wow, what a deal. I don't know if I'll ever have to buy again. For those wanting this deal know that it ends at 11:59 PM today Nov 3, 2013. So if you want it better get it while the getting is good.
The solution that I came up with for W8 (or in my case W8.1) was to install "StartisBack" and I also purchased a Logitech T650 wireless Rechargeable Touchpad.
It uses a USB dongle that also works with my Logitech M570 wireless trackball. I can use them both switching from one to the other as I...
Inkfu,
When you use up your AquaAce discs be forewarned not to get any of the Taiyo Yuden discs. I was a long time user of the Taiyo Yuden when I was using my Canon ip5000 printers (I had 2 modified to accept CD's). They are an excellent disc for retaining data and gave excellent burns. But...
For those of you that print often and think that you don't need a waste ink tank be advised. YOU DO!!! After installing one on my Artisan 837 and running a head cleaning I was absolutely amazed at the amount of ink pumped into the waste ink tank. If I were to guess I'd say that it was between...
This morning I received an email from Epson offering to sell their XP 800 for $39.99 with free shipping! I followed the link and yes, they were indeed selling the XP 800 for $39.99 using an instant rebate. As of this morning they were showing that they were in stock. Now, (9:30am), they show...
If this has been mentioned before please ignore. Yesterday I received my new Artisan 837 from FedEx. Spent last night familiarizing myself with it since I've been a Canon man for many years. So today I press start > programs > Epson Artisan 837 series > Driver Update. I had set the printer...
I went ahead and ordered a Artisan 837 from Amazon. Kind of ticks me off that I had to pay more now than when this printer was in production but I'm confident that I'll be happy with it.
P.S. Mikling, thanks for all your help and I'll be ordering a "Ready2go" kit soon.
After doing a little more research I'm debating whether to get an XP600, or purchase a new Artisan 730 off of Ebay. As I see it the XP600 still has a few drawbacks, i.e difficulty finding aftermarket carts, CIS and ARC's. The Artisan is a proven performer that is universally loved by millions...
I've been using Canon Dye ink printers for many years and have refilled them all with great success. But, unfortunately, the Canons are getting harder to refill (if not impossible) and I "may" consider a CISS in the future. That's why I'm contemplating the switch to Epson. It looks like the...
I received an email promotion from Epson yesterday showing their expression and artisan printers. I've decided that the sale price for the Artisan 730, being $89.99 was too good to pass up. Problem is they don't have any in stock. I called and they could not say when or if they would have...
My MP640 finally bit the dust after many years of faithful service. Not to worry though, when the MP640 went out of production I was able to purchase a reconditioned one directly from Canon for only $60 + free shipping. That is the printer I'm am now using and I expect it to last several years...
Just got a great deal on some glossy pre-scored blank Christmas card paper. I make my own Christmas cards in PS every year.
This year I bought an odd (for me) size, 7inWx10inH. When printing from PS I can't for the life of me find where the setting is
for custom paper size in the Canon...
I thought about doing that but was concerned that debris from cutting would be hard to remove from body of printer. I've already ordered new plugs so I'm not too concerned. When the new plugs arrive I'll just push the old ones into the cart, fill, and then install the new ones.
Apparently the plugs that came with the carts I bought came with the "low clearance" plugs that aren't low enough:(. I took an exacto razor knife and cut the tabs off of the plugs to make them into the "zero clearance " type of plug and my problem is now solved :D I've also just ordered 10 new...
My current problem with my MP640 is that when attempting to print a DVD or CD the printhead hits/drags against the DVD or CD. It does print but makes a terrible noise and streaks the DVD (obviously). Up until this occurrence it has performed flawlessly printing picture, text and DVD's. The...
