Replaced the ink cartridges on my Canon i9100 printer and realigned the print heads. The rest of the day was spent processing images.

A mainly dry Thursday
A trip into Cardiff for a dental check up, I need one filling replaced so I made a follow up appointment. After the dentist I drove down to PC World on Newport Road and purchased a complete set of ink cartridges for my Canon i9100 printer. It’s a strange fact that with many A4 printers it’s around the same price to buy a new printer as it is to buy a set of new cartridges. The Canon doesn’t have that problem, it’s an A3+ printer and a set of ink cartridges are around a quarter of the price of the printer! This strange pricing is also true of A4 mono and colour laser printers where often a complete set of toner cartridges is around the cost of the printer. I suppose the moral is that after a while you’re better off considering a new printer rather than re-stocking the ink / toner on an existing model. One real bargain at PC World was the Targus Defcon 3 remote controlled laptop / bag alarm for around £4, I find them really useful for protecting my camera gear when I’m working on assignments in public areas.
I spent some time this afternoon preparing a set of high resolution print files for a customer, we offer the add on option of high resolution files on DVD to our wedding couples and quite a number have purchased the print ready files to make their own prints for themselves and their families.
Third day of my blog!
Decided to change hosts for my web site, waited in the phone queue for ages to get through to customer services at my current hosting company. At last a person in place of the music! All my queries answered within a couple of minutes. Now to sign up with a new hosting company and start the tedious process of uploading all my files and configuring the new site.
Drove to Newport to the BMW dealer to collect some parts I’d ordered last week, a much more pleasant experience than the previous week when there had been a nasty accident just past junction 28 on the M4 and it took over an hour to get from junction 32 at Cardiff to junction 28 at Tredegar Park.
Had a telephone call to say that the bride who was coming to see me this evening would have to rearrange as her car was in the garage.
I’ve now managed to copy all my files to the new web host, we just need to amend the name server entries and then we’ll be live on our new site – the web site should be continuously available while all this is going on as it will be a major inconvenience to me and my customers if it isn’t!
Had an email from Andrew and Elaine to confirm that they’re happy with their album design and I can go ahead and order the album.
Here’s a small overview of the album design
