Heck, I don’t even buy retail ink cartridges for my printer. I refill them myself. It’s great for printing pictures, because my costs are close to 2cents for an 8×10 with bulk ink and a one time cost of a ink cartridge to CIS conversion kit.[/quote]
I used to do that, combined with cheep-o paper sold @ Fry’s every few weeks. The color wears off quickly, five years old pictures are totally washed out. What’s your experience?January 26, 2009 at 11:55 AM #336735Participant[quote=flu]

[/quote]The paper is more important in terms of initial print quality. BUT, i don’t expect inkjet printed pictures to last longer than photos. But the nice thing is when they get all messed up, I just reprint them. Currently, my pictures hold up for about 5-6 years, with the ones that get exposed to some sunlight during the days.

ParticipantKIBU — thanks. Spoke with Cox today and they informed me I am on some promotional rate. Takes internet only access down from 40s to 30s per month until March. Told me (very nicely) to go pound sand on a deal after that even after I indicated that I would definitely go to ATT. Their argument was that ATT DSL will have taxes that Cox does not add on?
