New Machines and New Ideas

Well it's definitely been a while since I updated this. Time to update it wht some new and better things, particularly news.

First thing's first, I have upgraded my scanner to an all in one printer. That's right, I now own a four function printer. I'm happy about it too, the machine was $250 normal retail and I ended up getting it slightly more than half the price around $137 or so. It's amazing for a few reasons. One is it's design: it's a printer and it's only 4" in maximum height. Extremely compact. Like I mentioned earlier it's a 4 in one (five if you count e-printing) so I can print from literally anywhere as long as a web connection is present. I can be on vacation and print what I need to, hahaaa. It's stylish in appearance, I feel like a pro when I use it. Sophisticated due to it's sharp design but at the same time, inexpensive (ie: not giving up my arm for ink). I also feel special now that I'm the only person in the house with a working fax, dad will crap bricks.

Only downfall about it is it weighs approximately 15-20 pounds if I had to guess. A dense printer you could say. I love it though, it's what I'm going to be using in place of my espon flat bed which I might sell locally.

On another note, in relation to reference requesting. I might try to work on a 8 x 11 sheet of stock paper to see what I can try and work, I will say that due to being so much smaller some quality will obviously be lost but just to test it out I'm willing to give it a shot, otherwise I am still open for donations and commissions to raise money for my goal of $250 - $300 for this printer.

It's as big as it seems, believe me. Ledger printers aren't a common thing at all. This being said, I 'will' start working ont he reference requests I have on queue to see what I can work out, but otherwise I will not be taking in many after what I have already in.
