Anyone got one of those 'lectric boxes for printing photies from a flash card in the comfort of one's home???

Any good??


Also, what are we buying for the boy and girl who have everything this year?

I have spotted a fab book called "1000 places to see before you die"
Fab for the loo, bad for the credit card however as likely to light a little wanderlust fire..... :waycool:

what you mean a printer ? :) they tend to cost a bit more but not by much - flash card printers that is.

Or you can get multiflashcard readery things really cheap from either ebuyer.co.uk or 7dayshop.co.uk and use a normal printer. £30-£40 for a new Epson inkjet best value as the ink/print/cost ratio is pretty good.

You can never have enough flash cards though ;)

Ah your hints are so subtle bluie.

now the WHOLE POINT is that no computer will ever darken the door of a particular homestead (NOR MINE!!! :angry: ) BUT digital camera has been allowed, but finding it difficult to view CD, even with superduper magnifying glass....so using "normal" printer not an option.

[Dreadful Scathe]

aha then indeed you have two choices young chickwalker....get a flash reading printer or take your flash cards to be developed in boots - its not too expensive and theyll give you prints and a CD full of pictures which you can then view on any decent DVD player (£30 if you don't have one already) -. To be honset viewing pictures on TV is much handier, not to mention cheaper, than passing round the prints. Its more fun too, 'oooh look at little jimmy' etc.. is then a more social thing and the whole room can be unanimous about 'what an ugly baby' you've got or whatever :).

my FAVOURITE Smurfie-pie

I looooooove you for being so loooooooovely and h'explaining it all, but I do actually know alllllllllll of this and was really just wondering if the flash reading printers, as cunningly mentioned in the first post, are any smurfin good? :D :hug:

[Dreadful Scathe]

they are just as good, they can cost a bit more cos of the reader functionality.

have a look here for some examples (http://www.digital-cameras.com/shop/shopdisplayproducts.asp?id=8&cat=Printers&refid=Google&catid=PrinterScanner). You do want to watch for ink costs as a cheap printer is often deceptive - sometimes in can cost more than £20 for a cartridge!! Lexmark is bad for that i think, epson is generally good, i think canons are ok but am not 100% on this.

just found this epson printer (http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/products/index.html?action=c2hvd19wcm9kdWN0X292ZXJ2aWV3&product_uid=64814) with 6 in 1 reader - sounds good for £70.

Smurfy, I have a Pentax digital camera and a data card. 128 i think.

could I buy one of the printers above and print photos ??? or would I need some other equipment ??

I have a PC at home with an Epsom c62 printer is taht any good for photos ??

A lost soul!

[Graham]

Yes, the epson printer quoted would be able to read your card and print photos from it.

The printer you have is capable of printing photos. I have no idea how subjectively good at this it is - I suggest you suck it and see :wink:
