What's wrong with Canon Pro Lustre? If you take advantage of their somewhat frequent half-off sales, you can get it for less than the equivalent Red River paper and with free shipping. Better yet, get on your local Craigslist and search for "photo paper". If your area is anything like mine...

That's South Laramie. FAR South Laramie...

I don't care about the money being wasted...I care about that stupid waste ink sponge at the bottom of my Canon printer getting soaked and effectively shortening the life of my printer! If it takes printing at certain intervals to keep it from doing a sponge-filling cleaning cycle, I'll do it!

Apparently Canon USA has a lot of matte paper they're trying to get rid of!

Yeah, I know, but it doesn't do me any good since I don't have a Pro-100. <sigh>

I check the Canon website every morning...and take advantage of the deals when they happen (if they're truly good deals, of course.) It's just that they haven't been happening at the same rate or to the same degree as in the past.

It's been a long while since Canon USA has offered one of their insanely cheap paper deals. I recall with fondness the "Buy 1 Get 9 (or 7 or 5) Free" with free shipping that seemed to happen every other month. If this deal drought continues, at some point I might — horror of horrors — be forced...

My main concern is the level of OBAs in the emulsion. I'm not a fanatic about the subject, as I don't expect my photos to be truly archival, but I do want to minimize any short-term changes in appearance which may occur as those things age while on display. Canon's Platinum papers, for instance...

Searched and didn't find any discussion on this... I've got a stock of Canon gloss paper (the PP-301, which I prefer to the Platinum line because it doesn't have quite the level of OBAs). I acquired many packages during the famous "buy one, get 5/7/9 FREE" deals in the last couple of years...

The cabinet has slide-out shelves, on nice heavy-duty ball-bearings, which bring the printer into the clear for operation.

I've found the MP610: 17.7 (W) x 15.3 (D) x 7.4 (H) No document feeder like the MP500 has, but has a much better scanner.

I've owned many. Inkjets are more suited to the amount of printing I do these days. (Once had a gigantic Lexmark color laser. Talk about noisy!)

Thanks for doing that. Unfortunately, it won't fit my printer cabinet — the space is a shade over 17" deep, and has a door that needs to close. Now I need to decide whether a) to dedicate some precious desk space to one, or b) look for a different model that will fit inside the cabinet.

Can someone with a Canon MX850 measure the dimensions for me *with all paper trays in the closed position*? CanonUSA says the dimensions are 20.0" x 19.0" x 10.2", but doesn't state whether that's with the trays open or closed. I need to find the absolute minimum dimensions to know if one will...

Thanks for clearing that up. Keeping track of who's doing what DRM scheme on which printer is almost a full time job!

Just got my Pro-10 this week (took advantage of the deal!) At the same time I found and bought a bunch of empty PGI-72 cartridges from eBay, so that I could have a spare set to refill with the new PC Signature inks. I just noticed, however, that they're all marked "EU Only". I live in the U.S...

You know, I forgot to convert it to sRGB before upload. Fixed now.

Okay, I'll take a stab. I've been digitizing some of my old film lately, and came across this image of a B-24 propeller. Shot on Fujichrome 100 circa 1984, no doubt with a polarizer (this was my Eric-Meola-saturated-colors phase.) Hope it passes muster.

The online order summary doesn't; I'll find out if they include a separate receipt in the package.

Does that mean "soon"?
