Its Great to Give Photo Credits!

I came across an image the other day in Google Images that had been picked off one of the Flickr accounts I contribute to. Its great to see someone (RoundPegg.com) actually using Flickr and crediting the original creator. This is also a great, creative use of the an image not originally created for the purpose of an article.

4. Do u accept credit card.

IF YOU PRINT ANYTHING APART FROM THIS LET ME KNOW

The Comic Sans was preserved from the original email for the true scam feeling. This scammer didn't even bother to send it to the right email (we were on the BCC list, along with I'm sure a whole lot of other printing companies). There was no attachment to the email. We have also never heard from this person before.

This e-mail does not even deserve a reply.

Stay Safe,

Michael

Great New Paper - HP Everyday Photo Paper

HP's newest economical paper -- HP Everyday Pigment Ink Gloss & HP Everyday Pigment Ink Satin -- is great for photos, posters, proofing, and much more. Priced at 20 cents a square foot (24"x100' roll is $40, 36"x100' is $60), it greatly reduces the cost of using genuine HP paper. Combined with great image quality and HP's notorious manufacturing standards, this paper is hard to beat. It was designed for use on pigment Designjet printers, but we have used it in Canon and Epson pigment inkjet printers with great results as well.

HP Everyday Roll Paper Overview:

• Great total ink absorption, producing vivid colors
• Very quick dry time
• Only designed for pigment inks
• Great price and even greater value
• Suitable for photographic use or everyday wide format printing
• 235 g/m²

HP Everyday Satin	24" x 100'	Q8920A	$39.99
HP Everyday Satin	36" x 100'	Q8921A	$59.99
HP Everyday Glossy	24" x 100'	Q8916A	$39.99
HP Everyday Glossy	36" x 100'	Q8917A	$59.99
