    i865 Settings

    Let me add a few thoughts to this. Standardize on the mfg of cd/dvd you want to print on. Do the same for labels and plain paper. I would suggest that as far as plain paper is concerned, a 24lb 98+ bright white will work best.....(this is usually a "premium" plain paper). The canon software...

    Scanners

    Review: Costco "Kirkland" brand "professional glossy inkjet" paper

    I have run cold water completely over the surface of this paper, (48 hours after it was printed using media street inks) and there was no bleeding, running or redustion in detail, but there was a noticable dulling of the gloss finish. I did not blot, just leaned it up at an angle to dry.
