    Any interest in a simple Photo thread?

    As a testament to time and place I agree that the original image is extremetly important. As an artistic expression that includes post processing there is a matter of individual taste. To me the trees to the right of the rock are a very minor distraction, and their removal enhances full...

    Any interest in a simple Photo thread?

    Since the more "painterly" presentation of this image involves considerable post-processing (which I find a fine artistic addition to an already excellent shot) I'd have considered taking out the small items (shrubs?) on the right that break an otherwise perfect horizon. Does this expose my...

    Actually, old technology works just fine. Have three or four belts of a good single malt whiskey before sampling the wine. like magic, you've improved the taste of the wine!

    Where to Lubricate Canon PIXMA MX860?

    @The Hat speaks truth. @vienna01, being four years your senior, I'll share some wisdom you undoubtedly already know that is supposed to have come with our gray hair- "don't kick sleeping dogs". Don't pursue the perfect and risk what is working." If it "ain't broke ....." - and on and on.

    A Printer for Large Amounts of Cardstock (163 - 199 g/m2)

    If any of the consumer grade laser printers would work for you I'd suggest that you take a quantity of the card stock on which you will print and go to the largest vendor in your area. You can test paper handling, suitable paper path, and the stability of the image, a reflection of the fuser...

    When all other cleaning methods have failed...the last cleaning method to try.

    I'm acquainted with infection control in the dental office, having practiced Orthodontics for almost 40 years. Clorox solution was recommended for disinfecting work surfaces. First, all "substrate" (blood, saliva, or other foreign materials) had to be cleaned off the surface. Second, a 10 to...

    A Printer for Large Amounts of Cardstock (163 - 199 g/m2)

    Most of our participants use consumer-grade printers, and for color printing I believe that the majority use inkjets. For text based B/W printing my choice has been mono laser printers. None of the mono laser printers I've used are nearly as good for printing photos or graphics as my inkjet...

    Hello everyone!

    My father was a pharmacist and had a small "drug store" in a lower income area in Sacramento, CA. It was a typical small town corner "drug store" with the classic marble soda fountain with stools, magazine and comic book rack, and liquor sales area. As a young teenager I worked in the store...

    My exploding ink bottles

    I would surmise that it was actually an "explosion" of bacterial growth. This is comparable to the warning not to purchase or use canned food that has a "puffed-up" top. Beautiful flower gardens in full bloom are described as an "explosion of color". This explosion of color in your desk...

    who sells 4x6 glossy photo paper in quantity

    If you are looking for consistently low cost per 4x6 glossy paper check out costco. It is sold in packages of 300 sheets. I don't know a vendor who sells this item in large quantities. At one time and for an unknown reason they sold their glossy photo paper at half price as well. I'd guess...

    very impressive kit, agent Smudger! I hesitate to thing what lurks under the case's secret panel. Absent from the picture is the handcuff and chain securing it to your wrist.
