I finally did it - took the plunge an bought a new printer. I wasn't sure it was going to work properly as my computer doesn't meet the minimum recommended specification for running it but it seems to be OK so far. (You know your computer is old when it doesn't meet the spec of a printer!) I spent most of yesterday playing and have used all but one of 4x6's you get in the test pack that comes with the printer in the box. I've been putting a different sort of picture on each one to see how different things come out on the print. There's a couple of black and white portraits, a couple of high colours and some other stuff. I decided on the Epson R800 as the reviews I've read have been good and the printer hasn't disappointed. I've never had a printer before and I've not been one to get my stuff sent off for printing online so this is the first time that I've actually seen my stuff in a physical form and been able to hold and play with it. It's more exciting than I expected. I keep wanting to print everything but am having to hold myself back so I don't end up wasting all my paper on bad quality photos. I opened the lid to watch it while it printed and it was really cool to see the picture emerge in stages in a fine spray pattern. If I wasn't already psyched about using my camera more at the moment I would be now. My pictures can now become something other than a collection of pixels on a website that nobody but me visits but also a bunch of prints nobody but me looks at! ;-)
