The printing on these cards gave me a professional look.

Very crisp and clean for color or black/white inkjet printing.

The Epson Photo 750 is one of the best color printers I have seen in its price range, and the heart of that quality is this cartridge. Colors are solid and rich, even at normal 360 resolution. The ink droplets are extremely small, producing smooth gradations and very sharp text. Unfortunately, the cartridge seems to be in limited supply, and not available at all in my area. Notwithstanding, it is a quality product.

I'll never stop loving this printer...and the ink is what makes it so good.

I also have used this paper for making family calendars this Christmas and found the quality excellent. It is not easy to find in stores.

I wanted to create calendars for our family. I found this a good deal for the printer (I have Lexmark Z54) and for the requirement. I had taken 5 calendars out of this and it works good for the double-side calendar. I could get an excellent finish. Color rendering is perfect and I did not find any smudging or bloating. The thickness is fine enough for a double-sided output.

I also found Matte finish better than Glossy in case of inkjet printers, especially this one, the best.

I would definitely recommend this product.

I purchased this paper because it was the cheapest brand out there- and printing your own photos is an expensive hobby. I had intended to use Epson papers for trial runs or copies for friends. However, the quality of my photos was incredible using epson paper. The colors are much more vivid and they don't fade over time as some photo papers do. I now use Epson paper for all my 4x6 photos and I save money!

Not only is this photo paper the most inexpensive paper I have used, but it is simply the best. The printed photos have a glossy finish that makes them indistinguishable from the regular film prints. I have used Kodak and HP premium papers and they don't hold a candle to the Epson brand. I have also used the older Epson paper and a no-name brand and neither were as bright and brilliant as this paper. I am using an Epson Stylus Photo RX500 and the prints are fabulous.

I was sucked into the hype from Rhinotek and decided to try them instead of Epson in my Stylus 900, since the Rhinoteks were more than 50% less expensive -- now, my printouts have gotten incredibly worse and I will never recommend knock-off carts to anyone.

I just HOPE that my print heads are not destroyed from the Rhinotek cartridges.

I have a friend who had an Epson printer and went with the cheap substitution ink. After that, his printouts were sub-par at best. So I just use the "genuine" Epson ink cartridges and haven't had a problem. There may be some knock-off brands that are fine but at present, I'm not confident in them.

i love the igesture pad, but i would advise buying it directly from fingerworks (http://www.fingerworks.com). maybe it was just my order, but amazon messed it up so bad. it advertises "1-2 business days" for shipping. 6 days later, it finally entered shipping. i check the next day, and it's back to "not shipped". it's been on "not shipped" every day until today, 13 days later, i check, and it's just gone completely. needless to say, it's worth the extra $30 to order it from fingerworks if they're "shipping" every pad like this

I have owned my iGesture pad for about a year now, and would like to share my observations with the Amazon community. Especially since the product page doesn't tell you anything about it!

This product is a mouse alternative. It's basically a flat, smooth surface; there are no moving parts. An embedded processor responds to the contact and motion of your finger(s) (which are referred to as "gestures") and translates that to common mouse commands or keyboard macros. It connects via USB; I've used mine on Windows (2KPro and XP).

I bought this for two reasons, one practical, one not.

Ergonomics: The traditional mouse was starting to cause me trouble in the hands -- I'd get pain after increasignly-shorter use periods. And, that pencil-eraser-like nubbin on my laptop keyboard is awful for my hand. The iGesture is a vast improvement -- no fatigue or pain after long periods of use. The required touch is extremely light, so there's no pressure on the muscles.

Cool factor: Ever see that movie "Minority Report" where they move stuff around this glass panel using their hands? It's kinda like that, and it really works! Granted, the pad is smaller, and your monitor doesn't change :) but the idea of the gestures works.

In its basic mode, there are certain groups of gestures that map to things like mouse movements, left- and right-click, double-click, and scroll. There are also keyboard substitutes, like cursor movements (the arrow keys), cut, paste, copy, undo/redo. There are also gestures for other common "super-mouse" functions like browser fwd/back, and zoom. You can even switch among apps (a la Windows ALT-TAB).

(There are also other modes, such as EMACs, Photoshop, and GAME modes, but I've never tried them.)

It took me a couple of days for these to become second nature, but the learning curve wasn't steep at all; it comes with a handy cheat-sheet to help you through those first few days. The gestures are pretty intuitive (for example, for the "cut" command, you make a motion like you're picking something up with your finger and thumb), which helps.

After a few days, I was using it to read my mail and maintain my inbox (MS Outlook) without touching the keyboard or using a pull-down menu. With one exception: there was no gesture for the "delete" key. But, from their website, you can download a utility which allows you to edit the built-in gesture-to-action mapping, so I just found an empty gesture (I could have overridden an existing gesture), and programmed it for the delete keystroke. Worked great.

As an added bonus, it's really slim (less than a half-inch think) so it slips into my laptop bag really easy, unlike a standard mouse.

All accompanying software (such as the gesture editor mentioned above, firmware updates, etc.) have all been stable.

If you have more questions, be sure to check their website (fingerworks.com) for details.

Hello. I'm writing this to share my opinion with you. This product is great if you already own a Franklin Bookman. This allows you to translate from Spanish to English, English to Spanish,and has fun games and learnables to use. This summer my Spanish class is going to Mexico and I'm bringing this with me. When I bought this at another store it was quite expensive, but here at amazon.com the price is perfect. If I were you I'd take advanage of this great deal!

What's so great about it. Well if you already have a Franklin Bookman electronic devise you can use this and other cards in the Bookman . This means you don't have to buy to different products. It saves you money and is much more convenient. This is also great for me since I have trouble in Spanish class and now my teacher wants us to translate really hard sentences. Another plus is it's elecronic so you don't have to spend 10 minutes looking up a word you don't even know in a foreign language. I"m real glad they made this product. I think it's great and it comes with some great features.

I have never used Fuji film in my Canon aps camera before, so I decided to give it a try. Big mistake for thinking that film with the same speed is the same as the rest. I took pictures at an outdoor wedding with Fuji 200 aps film and Kodak 200 aps film and the Fuji prints were terrible. The fuji prints were grainy and the colors looked washed out. The pictures taken with the Kodak film were much sharper and colors were vibrant. Fuji film is a waste of money. Pay little more and go with Kodak. You will not be sorry. Cheap film means cheap looking pictures. I will never use Fuji film again.

Buying the 3 pack saves a bit of money on this pricier film! The Fuji quality is excellent so save some money and use the films when you want - at least you won't run out!

It's a great idiot-proof camera to take pictures when you're rushed or in crowded venues on vacation. Dealer told me it was the best value for the dollar and I believe he is correct.

My husband picked this up so we could take good shots of our new baby. Grandparents, parents and everyone else is amazed at the studio-quality shots. Hey, the baby is gorgeous, but it takes a good camera to bring out the best! We found it especially good in flourescent lighting, where many cameras leave a lot to be desired. Also, our baby has blue eyes and the red-eye reduction feature really eliminates red eyes. A definite buy!

This machine will change your life. No more rushing home to watch a show, picking up five remotes trying to figure out which ones which, shssing your spouse until the important part of the show passes, switching CDs in your player, hooking the video camera up to the VCR to watch it, having a stack of stereo components, pulling out photo albums, etc. I could go on and on. This new design is extraordinary. My wife is nuts for this for it's simplicity. Stop reading this and buy one immediately.

The sleek look and ease of use of the Gateway FMC-901 make it a great choice if you want the features of a Media Center Edition PC but don't want a clunky PC in the family room.
I couldn't see paying the extra price tag on the 901X just to get the Radeon 9800 Pro graphics card and the DVD burner. So if playing games and recording to DVD media isn't important, the lower cost unit may be suitable for most needs.
