[12:53]  * 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.
[14:10] <penguin42> at least it's not a Tuesday
[14:11]  * 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
[14:12] <penguin42> I cleaned that off with iso, but there's still a visible stripe which is like a difference in brightness
[14:20] <zxmpi> people still use scanners?
[14:33] <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
[19:38] <daftykins> they don't fit down one side of the mark? :)
[21:13] <penguin42> daftykins: Alas no
[21:14] <daftykins> doh!
[21:23] <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
[21:47] <penguin42> well hmm, actually a 4x6 will fit, turned thataway
[21:52] <daftykins> \o/
[22:15] <penguin42> it does an impressively high res - albeit at USB1.1 speed
[22:18] <daftykins> ooh ouch - perhaps there's a good happy medium of DPI
[22:56] <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
