Dave - I was not in the slightest bit offended. Humour is essential which is why the 'Life of Brian' was so necessary!

The estimable Rabbi Blue says that religion should be a home not a prison and psychology is my home. I try to exercise psychology in a reasonable way but it is difficult particularly since the collapse of the family.

Back to inks - I did discover 7 Day Photoshop all by myself and it could be cheaper. My i9950 does produce super prints when I get it right but I worry about fading even with Canon inks. How Canon justify their prices beats me.

My thanks for all the replies and helpful advice.
