[Digital BW] Re: problem w/MIS spongeless UT-FSN... help possible?

2005-09-03 by Mark Hahn

I'm about ready to pull that R2400 switch myself.  The 7660 seemed 
like a godsend, but I do need bigger prints and the HP Premium Plus 
does cockle quite nastily... bad enough in a framed 8x12", but I 
imagine really terribly in an 11x17" (anyone have 
thoughts/experiences here?).

I guess you have to applaud MIS' attempt to market an inexpensive 
innovative product... but... I've gotta make prints and not screw 
around with semi-defective products...

thanks all,

mark
