<p>Ooops, try again. Brain not working properly due to lack of sleep.</p><div></div>

<p>As usual, stunning pictures everyone. The bar seems to get higher every week.<br>

<p>I love Nikon WedNEsDAy, there are just so many fantastic pictures. I haven't contributed for a while, as I sold my D70 and bought a Fuji S5 Pro. Now I know it counts, I get to join in every week.</p><div></div>

<p>Hi.<br /> <br /> I need some help with deciding which A3 printer to buy please.<br /> <br /> I print mostly black and white, and I currently use an HP7660, which has a dedicated 3 grey cartridge, which when used without a colour cartridge produces A4 prints I am very happy with. I particularly like the fact that I can just swap cartridges when I want to print colour, which although not very often, I do still do.<br /> <br /> If I were printing just black and white I would use a CIS, but that is not an option.<br /> <br /> I have been looking at the Epson 1400 and maybe a set of MIS UT14 black inks, but unless anyone knows of a UK importer of the MIS inks, that looks to be out as well, due to the shipping, customs, and VAT I would wind up paying.<br /> <br /> I know RIP software might be one option. Has anyone any out there had any sucess making quality B&W prints from the Epson 1400? I know it's not recommended for B&W, but my budget is around £300 and for reasons I won't go into, used is not an option for me, so neither the R3800 or the R2400 are an option :-(<br /> <br /> Any advice, recommendations, helpful hints or comments, all welcome.<br /> Thanks very much.<br /> Ian.</p>

Hi.

 

My wife hasn't been able to take a photo for over 10 years, due to an accident that left her with a disability,

including a very limited amount of use of her hands. For Christmas this year I would like to give her a camera

she is able to use, but this is proving extremely difficult.

 

She has no use of her fingers at all, but can push buttons with her knuckles, so I am trying to find a compact

digital camera that can use a wired remote control. At the very least it needs to fire the shutter, but would

also ideally operate any zoom.

 

It needs to be a wired remote, as it is hard enough for her to hold a camera, without having to point an IR

remote back at the camera, and it needs to be a compact, as she can't hold the weight of a DSLR.

 

I am not concerned with megapixels, focal lengths, manual modes, RAW capability, or anything other than the

remote. I just want her to be able to take pictures again.

 

I have around £200 to spend, and would be really grateful for any suggestions.

 

TIA.

Ian.

It's falling down, but I'm not getting rid of it till I've finished photographing it.<div></div>

I have the same problem with an HP7660, but only when printing in Black and White! And only on some prints. Odd.

You don't say where abouts in Berkshire. I'm in Buckinghamshire myself, Aylesbury to be precise, and I have done a lot of wet printing in the past, but now scan and inkjet print.

Let me know if location isn't a problem.
