The Day Started Out Well,

we had a telephone call to say that our printer had arrived,

 so off to TukCom to pick up our brand new Epson T13,

and very nice it looked too, so insert that disk that came with it to download all of the drivers and a few other things, all no problem at all, next switch on to start printing, disaster!

this message appeared, despite going through all of the change the ink cartridge options always one or three cartridges would not be recognised, so back to the shop, why is it that when ever I buy some thing electrical this sort of thing happens? anyway after the same thing happened in the shop a new print head was fitted and it seems that all the problems were fixed,

so on to a bit of fun, well at least I thought it was, a Rubik cube, but it is not quite what it seems, it is a anamorphic print of one, it looks 3D,

 but if you turn the paper it is printed on it's true shape is seen,

 it is in fact almost as long as the paper,

 but by moving the paper and camera the perspective is altered,

 you can get a better effect if you cut the paper it is printed on,

 but move the camera angle just slightly and the true picture is revealed,

 the same with Diana's tape, all looks fine,

 until the paper is turned,

 then the distortion of the picture is seen,

again for a better effect I cut the paper the image was printed on to give a better 3D effect, I know too much time on my hands!

 of course if you are really clever you can make the same effect with writing like this sign,

but move the camera angle and all is seen as it is, the only excuse I have is that it was a quiet day, in the evening we watched a couple of films on satellite television and a few more from Swamp People that we had not seen before, then for us we were off to bed.
