to Birddog, Scott, Gary and everybody associated with the Egg Challenge!

My new Epson R800 printer arrived safe and sound today and is just hatching out of it's box. It's going straight to the Pool Room!

I'm a very happy boy :lol: How good is this place?!

A happy chappy indeed Simon! Congrats one more time.

How good is this place? Rhetorical question right? :wink:

Simon,

For a home printer, the 1800 is truly an awesome piece of work.

The real problem for me is simply making images that are worthy of being printed.

I'm sure you're being modest Gary.

Toby is now looking curiously at the print of himself!

Thanks Glen.

Simon,

That would be a larger than lifesize print of Toby, no doubt? :)

Don't, btw, overlook the fact that this little beastie can do A3+ sized prints, and rolls.

Grab some roll paper, and a panp, and then watch the jaws drop.

I wish, Gary.
Mine's actually the R800, not the 1800 but I'm more than happy with A4 + roll and, yes, I've got a few panos to run through it. :wink:
