I'm sure I will Gwyn. Have been a Pentaxian too long to go Cold Turkey

I'm only "lurking" until my plus subscription runs out as 99.9% of my Pentax gear has gone, still keeping the WG10 I won on here and the RX18 I bought cheap in ASDA quite some time ago. I think I have enough images to enter the competitions but that will not be happening either because my eyesight is getting worse which would lead to problems if I happen to win and therefore have to judge . I have been on ePhotoxine for quite some time now so will just continue posting there. I think they accept all marcs?

Cameras online have the battery but usually arrive by courier. I wanted to send a couple of batteries back to amazon but it was going to be more hassle than it was worth none of the carriers I contacted would carry them.

Reason for sale is I no longer have the camera. £20 is the asking price but, unfortunately because of postal regulations they will have to be collected, I don't have the cable for the charger but a standard figure 8 fits.



Newbiggin by the Sea

I thought Northumberland a fairly large county although split into Tyne & Wear. I suppose it is sparsely populated though so that could be one reason

[quote:3496ace15f="bforbes"]I'm looking as well Stan, but may end up with just an A4. Have you found the iP8750 at less than £189.99[/quote have a deal on for ink at 1/2

Best I've seen Barrie is £189 at John Lewis and PC World £199. Can be had with a fullset of ink for £245.

Stinky Ink have a deal on for compatible ink at 1/2 price about £7.50 instead of £14 which is for the 6 inks. PC World do 5 Canon inks but the grey alone is £18 so about £79 for a set.
I need A3 for the club competitions, with the frame 50x40mm.

Good luck with getting a bargain.

Thanks for the heads up Phil.

I've used "Stinky Ink" for some time along with the PPD Pearl paper which as you have said takes a bit of trial and error to get just right (well with my old eyes anyway). There is quite a bewildering array of setting for the pixma 6550 so have just set it to one (can't recall off hand) and it is nothing to print three copies, all different, then ask Liz which she thinks is the "Nicest". If I decide on a new printer I'll keep the other until my inks have run out. I've also used A3+ paper but just because it was special offer at the time 2 for 1 or something.

Got a few days of Black Friday to decide so may well be another Christmas present for me

Best Regards
Stan

Just wondering if anyone has or has had this printer and what their thoughts are. I'm thinking of getting a new printer and will be using Canon ink at first (otherwise I think it may void the warranty) and Canon paper. I have the Canon pixma 6550 but since upgrading the software I get an error message about bi directional printing which the printer is incapable of anyway so perhaps time to bite the bullet.

Bought some microscope slide and boxes to put them in as I add various sand samples etc to my very slowly growing collection.
