Re: Brightcube semi-matte similars

2003-04-01 by André Vallejo

I\ufffdm using the FS-BW from MIS,guess it\ufffds old stuff,but as I want neutral
prints,not warm or cool,looks like it\ufffds the best choice.Could I change the
100% black ink for the photo black only? Guess so.I just found out the Red
River(or was it Red Rock...anyway...) so I'll be buying from
them...InkjetGoodies.com also have lots of it too,as I was told. As it's
hard to me to get paper here(I have to import everything from
US,paper,ink...and importing from US isn\ufffdt very popular around here this
troubled days) I tend to stay with the brands I got used to BC SM and EAM.
The other point is that I'm considering to buy the upcoming Canon i9100 for
the possibilities that the swapping heads brings. But again,my idea was to
make a trip to US after it's released,maybe June so I could buy some stuff
including the printer (strange,but the air ticket is cheaper then mailing it
all). The idea is on hold for the fear of flying to US this days...
Strange world...
Regards,
Andr\ufffd
