[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I have a garage full of framed prints! You are not alone!! I bought the 3880 for the apartment. Printing is the performance... I just joined a camera club that does print competitions every other month, which is a great incentive to actually print. Fortunately you can just mount them on a matte with no over matte, or just reuse the same over matte event if the print size differs. They have been very fair about not judging the matting but just the print. I like the prod to make me print...
