and topped up the inks on our new printer,
unfortunately our old printer after 6 years of expensive service, (in ink cartridges) finally had a terminal hissy fit, so as I intend to do a lot of printing in the future as I am now in Beckenham Photograph Society, it made sense to buy a printer that used ink tanks rather than cartridges, and this is the one we bought a Epson Ecotank ET-8550,
it prints up to A3 and A3+ sized paper,
and here is the best bit, the cost for 7ml of ink for our old printer was £26.94 for a black cartridge and £32.33 for the colour cartridge, both the high yield type and original inks, so £59.27 every few months or so, for our new printer the ink bottles contain 70ml in each and a complete genuine Epson set is £71.90 for all 6 bottles, admittedly the printer was expensive to buy, but I look at it this way, to buy the old cartridges for 70 ml of ink I would need to buy 10 sets of our old ink at £59.27 so £597.27 just for ink for the old printer! also I have been playing with mounts for my photograph, like these:
both A4 and A3 these in white, also I had some mounts made for smaller prints,
and some mounts in black,
for A4,
and A3 sized paper, all of the mounts are of the same size, 55 cm x 40 cm all of the mounts were supplied by Cotswold Mounts Ltd. A great company and exceptional service, in the evening Diana was staying at Kai's home so it was feet up after my evening meal for a Tipping Point, The Chase, a Outback Opal Hunters before my film for the evening The Mummy,
although I have watched it before it was nice to see it again, after which I was off to bed.
