Marilyn, I had looked at that printer. The only down side I saw was that it did not print photos well. I scan and print lots of photos ...some old photos for inclusion in family books and many of the grandchildren . Do you print photos from yours and how is the quality for that? ----- Original Message ----- From: "marilyn E B" <marilyneb@gmail.com> To: <gen-newbie@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, January 09, 2012 10:12 AM Subject: Re: [GN] need help choosing printer > Check out this link on Amazon and read the reviews.

Wanda, I will try to answer both of your questions as best I can. If I had had a sheet of any card stock or heavy weight paper I would have tried that but I do not have any. I think you could use it at least through the top feed. I think which feed you could use would depend on the weight of the paper. I have printed black and white photos a few times and they usually very good. I have found that their quality depends on several things; age and condition of photo, your skill with scanning the original photo and quality of paper you are using. I had never done a color photo but I just now did my first one. I used a school picture of my grand daughter from last year. I just copied it onto a sheet of regular printer paper and I am sure that affects the quality of the scan. Even with that the colors seem to be fairly true. I can see the highlights in her hair, details on her clothing, her smooth skin and the fact she needs to whiten her teeth. Grandma talking : ) Now I will say I might not have had the settings correct. My friend/neighbor thinks it is of framing quality. Now I have a question for you, how do you preserve pictures you have copied using a printer?
