i got a large shipment of photo paper from bhphoto.com, my favorite online store ...

in my spare time, i started making prints of pictures from last summer ... judy got me a really nice photo album and i'm going to fill it with pictures from last summer. i actually also busted out my box of slides that i didn't deem worthy to see if there was something in there that would work.

i'm also making some extra prints ... if you want a print from any of my pictures last year, let me know. i have plenty of paper (i ordered 100 4x6 paper and 30 8x11, all of the canon pro photo brand) so i can make some prints =). i would just make them for people, but it seems so ... narcissist to be like "oh i made you a print from a picture i took last summer."

yeah, that definitely doesn't sound very humble. ;)

Dude...scroll down. Walmart is 27 cents and Sam's is 20 cents. Just take your compact flash, sdcard, CD rom, whatever to them.

very high quality. i have a canoscan fs4000 ... i rarely scan at the 4000dpi since my computer can barely handle it (and usb isn't so nice when you're trying to send that much data). usually i scan around 1000-2000 dpi then print. the prints are flawless at 4x6 ... but i usually have to rescan at 4000dpi if i want to get a nice 8x11 print.

Man, I like injet printers, but I've totally abandoned them. The good printers are hella spensive, the paper is hella spensive, and the ink is definitely hella spensive. I just bring my compact flash or CD to Walmart/Sams and have them print it there. It's only 20-25 cents for a 4x6 and a little less than $1 for an 8x10. And the photo is burned on rather than inkjet on matte Fuji Crystal archive so not worries about smudging.

I mean, I like my printer, but I just hate paying exhorbitant amounts of $$ for ink because I'm not just printing photos. But I feel better if the image is burned into the paper rather than sitting on top of it. I don't know, it's just me.
