Thursday April 24, 2008

Happy Thursday everyone. If you are in the Hartford, CT area, you aren’t going to want to miss the latest Kelby Training Event. Scott Kelby is hosting the Photoshop CS3 Power Tour on May 13, 2008. The seminar is being held at the Connecticut Convention Center, and it’s only $99 for the full-day seminar, (if you’re a NAPP member, it’s just $79). I love getting a chance to watch Scott teach – it’s an engaging and informative time. I’m sure you will all have a blast.

My Canon iPF6100 Review
I’ve had some time to sit down and play with this printer.. and I have to tell you – I really have a love/hate relationship with it. I love the printer… and I hate that I ran out of paper already. Now it just sits there, lifeless, until I get a couple of photos rolling in. Poor thing.

It really is a good printer, and while I take a GREAT amount of issue with the Canon website (I think that there are designers out there that make it their sole point to make finding a driver, paper site, and ICC profile for the Canon printers an absolute impossibility), the printer does make up for that. Make sure you check out my review at the following Link.
