As I said, this isn't the first time I've found outright errors or other variances in MSDS's. No, no print protector that I've ever actually seen, investigated, or used uses isoproyl alcohol or acetone. None, ever. Old fashioned hair spray is lacquer, I think. Can't prove it and not worth my...

@Smile: Yes, it would hurt to buy PT-101 and then spray it! Nevertheless, if mounting naked, it's the smart thing to do. Or, smarter thing to do, put behind glass. Spray lacquer comes in both glossy and semi-gloss from the hardware store at about half the price of Print Shield even w/o...

I have used it. Or, more accurately, tried to. Overkill for many needs. One of the most accomplished professional photographers I know uses ACDSee. No PS except for rare occasions. And even if you want most of what it can do, there are a lot of less expensive options from Corel, for...

Photoshop is a drug. Everyone bows deferentially and presumes one absolutely must be able to use all of its (mostly useless) functions. As I've mentioned on other threads, I totally lack the Adobe gene. Nothing, in any of their programs, is even slightly intuitive for me. And that's not even...

Vinnie is a Canon consultant.............

I still use, I'm guessing, 15 year old inks. No problemo. I recently dumped a bunch of very old inks but mostly to reduce inventory, as it were. I think ink expiration dating is a bogus fear factor. I'm also willing to admit that my experience may not match others. YMMV.

Try a new Canon cartridge. That will tell you for under $20 if it is the cartridge or something else. My PRO-100 is barely sullied. My intention is to run official Canon inks except for the black and grays. I have those ready from PC. My philosophy is that if you are running a "pro" printer...

The latest in my series of tests in the Florida sun. As before, Canon PRO-100 CLI-42 ink images taped to windows on the SW side of the house. Not as before, the windows are now open, so the angularity in relationship to the sun is more direct. Probably a nuance and not critical to the...

I got a "new" pro camcorder, ca. 2000. I downloaded the manual from Sony, set it up to print two pages to each side of a sheet of paper, print from the back, voila! Took it to Staples for a $3 binding, I'm happy. Thank you Canon!

I looked up "nuff nuffs" and I found, "Passive, led around by their nose rings consumers without a sense of moral or social obligations or having a whit of creativity, hell bent for living a life of the lowest common denominator. See: http://www.peopleofwalmart.com/" Was my source close?

I think home photo printing is on the Big Wain. Why print photos when quantity on your "device" is more important that selection and quality? In my small city of 50,000 plus surrounding county, Walgreens has shut all the minilabs except one. The closed ones are now drop-off sites. They...

Can't see any reason to disagree, barfl2. I hope to keep my CLI-8 iP4500 and CLI-42 PRO-100 going for many, many years. And I have a backup iP4300.

So, how do you think that complicated, highly engineered, amazing thing you call your inkjet printer is priced so low? You may feel ripped off on the cartridges, but did you write Canon a letter thanking them for selling their printers so inexpensively? Mr. Gillette of razor fame figured out...

Google's Picasa does 80-90% of what I need to do, quickly and intuitively. Easy to email an image from. Biggest complaint is the lack of some traditional right click functions, but they are doable from the menus on top. Limited printing templates. Irfanview for the quick look and a hundred...

I'm adverse to Adobe for a number of reasons, the most prominent being I utterly lack Adobe DNA. By that I mean, for me, the total opposite of intuitive. Nothing makes sense to me. This goes back almost 20 years. I just recently revisited Elements 8 that came with my Canon 9000. I can't...

@Roy, I've suspected just what you say, but without actual proof or reading about it. I come across old bond and note paper because I live in The Verizzo Family Ancestral Estate, as I jokingly call this house of 55 years. And not one piece even very cheap paper is yellowed or falling apart.

Your rant stands on firm typographic ground, and I enjoyed it. Especially can appreciate your refusal to pay MS again. I don't see MS Comic Sans anywhere...........except in my informal letters. Hmmm...... Although I stick to one font per piece, no borders. For my text on photo prints, I...

YOU may want different border adjustments, I don't. Why you think a person needs the aforementioned programs is beyond me. As is your sense of modesty. This is 2015, not 1915.

I'm sure you are right, except...........as explained, some kind of bug about margins in WordPerfect. Yes, I know it is and I'm a dinosaur, but I've yet to find anything better for me. I won't pay the extortion fee to MS to legally use Word (overlooking the new Word online progams), and I find...

OK, but why would I want to spend big money and learn a whole new software to do what I do just fine in LibreOffice?
