Many thanks Mike & Yves. It is reassuring to know that my problems are 'Operator' and not 'Kit'. It would grieve me to have something on my desk with Ca**n written on it.
I have always used HP Vivera inks, initially to maintain warranty.
I shall follow your advice, and keep you posted with progress.

It's sad but these guys will do it cheaper and better (probably).

I use a Canon A4 printer Pixma 4500 I think with Canon inks and Canon paper and I'm very pleased with the results but it probably costs me more than using PROAM.

Thanks for the ProAm link, certainly looks cheaper for a run of twelve plus Prints. I would still like to be able to produce a good print on my desk top but maybe financially out of reach, at this stage. Perfecting the science and the art may never happen. but that is the joy of the hobbyIt's sad but these guys will do it cheaper and better (probably).

I know nothing about the MZ series and look forward to finding out. Did it accept the MEII Winder/Grip? :

Mike W or any other Canon printer users - which Canon paper would you recommend for good but not exceptional quality prints?
We have a Pixma and use Canon inks but results are not as sharp as I'd hope. I think it's probably the paper - we are just using the Tesco own brand paper we used with our old HP £50 printer as we have loads of it left but...
It also seems to use the inks up a lot faster than out HP did and I wonder if that could be paper related as well.
So, which Canon paper a step up from what you get with Tesco's best quality stuff, without breaking the Bank.
Another minefield So many variables.Staples now do a range of papers in various weights and finishes. I do wonder if Asda, Tesco, Staples and others source their photo papers from the same mill.Mike W or any other Canon printer users - which Canon paper would you recommend for good but not exceptional quality prints?

Staples Photo Supreme at 270 gms seems good and a cheaper version Staples Photo Plus at 240 gms. I tend to use HP, probabley out of Brand Loyalty as I have an HP Printer. Asda special at 260 grams is a reasonable compromise. Have not tried Tesco Brand. Bit like buying a packet of crisps in a pub, just too many choices
For me the final result is to hold or frame a 'Print'. So much seems to depend on the printer producing what you see on the monitor. Colour Space, quality of inks, dpi etc etc.
I use an HP Photosmart C7180, uses black and five colur cartridges, its sort of OK but feel it could be better.
I cannot afford a proffesional set up and cost of ink renewal is a consideration. A4 is adequate for me at this stage.
Any recommendations for Tweeks to existing printer or a reasonably priced alternative?
Wish there was a Pentax dedicated printer, plug and play!

I would agree with that. Give it five years and our all singing and dancing digital cameras will be bordering on obsolete. Todays developments are tomorrows history. We ignore history and experience at our peril.Jack, a magazine is for a wide variety of readers all of whom have different interests and expectations.
