Re: Printer Head Cleaning

Hi Bert & Stu B Thanks for that. Your right the A3 printers are really several hundred pounds, I do need a printer though for the home prints my wife wants of her grand children maximum size 10 x 8 as well as any letters I need to type so I guess I may as well buy a new R800. I've got a printer ...

Re: Printer Head Cleaning

Hi :-d Thanks for the information and a special thanks to Stuart who has tried the cleaning method I'd seen when I searched the internet. I'm between the devil and the deep blue sea now, may still take it to the service centre though I can at least have a go myself if it happens again.

Printer Head Cleaning

Hi :D Has anyone tried the solutions that can be bought to clean printer heads, and were they a success ! I have tried the cleaning programme in the printer utility without success, after 4 attempts I think it needs a major clean as it looks as though 3 inks are only partially getting through. I hav...

Re: message to my sternist darkroom critics

Hi Mark

I'm pleased you have it sorted, it will save me bringing some of my night school prints from 1996. They have black/white and even greys. :lol:

Re: End of it's life?

Hi :-d I still use film though I do often think I'll go digital. For me though I think it would have to be a M9. Maybe one day I'll go that way, at least I'll have a few lens to fit. I just cannot bring myself to sell my M6 though, people are still paying lots of money for them on ebay, but if I do ...

Re: Advice re Film Scanners

Hi :-d Just thought I'd confirm that I took your advice ( not John's) and bought a scanner, went for a Epson, came yesterday as well as a new computer to handle all the work, so in a few weeks I'll start my scanning to get them all on disc. May also take the opportunity of putting the prints in albu...

Re: Gordon Jenkins - Colour

Yes it was a very useful. The best part was of course the comment about film being the best :lol: recording medium for long term storage. Which brings me to the projection screen :) I trust that altering the angle of the screen to vertical for the NEW fangled digital projector will not be detrimenta...
