Mainly Macintosh

Epson CX7800 printer

I bought a new printer today for my Macintosh. It is an Epson CX7800.

It is one of those amazing all-in-one printers:

• computer printer
• photo printer
• high resolution scanner for papers/books
• scanner for film negatives
• photo media card reader

It is about all the printer I will ever need.

I checked, and the ink cartridges for it sell for pretty reasonable prices too.

This one is on sale today - in fact, today is the last day of the sale - at Best Buy.

I had been thinking about getting one of these all-in one printer/scanner things for a while. What pushed me over the edge on this one was several things:

1. price: under $150, with today's $30 discount
2. color display screen: so I scan scan/load photos and print - without using my computer.
3. ability to read xD, SD, and SM media cards - I have all 3
4. works with Mac - which of course, most printers do
5. ability to scan in negatives: I have so many from when I was a kid, dating back to grade school

I have limited table space where I keep my computer.

So this new printer/scanner will let me do everything in one spot, without moving my computer around. Pretty cool.

They are crazy to be selling it so cheap.
