* zxmpi fires up brother laser printer for first time in 6 months and prints 15 pages. shuts it down and it awaits it's next print job. | 12:53 | |
penguin42 | at least it's not a Tuesday | 14:10 |

* penguin42 just had a flat bed scanner open on the bench; it has a 'stripe' down it - there's some corrosion on one of the mirrors; https://cdn.mastodon.org.uk/media_attachments/files/112/151/931/765/856/229/original/661a239451409d36.jpg | 14:11 | |
penguin42 | I cleaned that off with iso, but there's still a visible stripe which is like a difference in brightness | 14:12 |
zxmpi | people still use scanners? | 14:20 |
penguin42 | well, I did; I've got a pile of 6x4 prints that I need to ingest at some point, I guess the other way would be to mount a camera | 14:33 |
daftykins | they don't fit down one side of the mark? :) | 19:38 |
penguin42 | daftykins: Alas no | 21:13 |
daftykins | doh! | 21:14 |
penguin42 | actually, I should triple check that, but I don't think so - failing that I'm going to see if my prehistoric parallel port scanner works; I should eBay something | 21:23 |
penguin42 | well hmm, actually a 4x6 will fit, turned thataway | 21:47 |
daftykins | \o/ | 21:52 |
penguin42 | it does an impressively high res - albeit at USB1.1 speed | 22:15 |
daftykins | ooh ouch - perhaps there's a good happy medium of DPI | 22:18 |
penguin42 | yeh at 300dpi/8bit depth it runs continously, at 2400dpi/14bit depth it does a few mm and then thinks about it ... and takes about 5mins | 22:56 |
