New Canon Printer Ts3100

I have printed just about 4 or 5 photographs of friends children. One of them is very colourful as there 15 children and they are dressed up for Santa last Christmas.

Have looked at the colour printer and not too much left, but like I won't be printing much more coloured photos.

What I am asking here - I need to give a copy to a person but would like to keep one for myself and so I wondered if I were to SCAN the photo - does that use up as much ink.

Ink seems to be more expensive than champagne nowadays!! I just down load the pictures I want onto a memory card and then take the card to Boots or somewhere that has a printer machine and print them off there. The assistant in Boots is really helpful and showed me how to do it the first time. There is also a printer in my local market that prints them - all not too expensive (cheaper than ink cartridges).

scanning doesn't use ink

that's good to know Ael - thanks baker- you know I am stupid because my cousin could print the Santa one in work but anyway besides I want to be independent as in printing. I cannot be bothered looking at these lovely photos on these mobile phones or when I do get them via email.

Scanning uses ink if you are printing rather than loading them to a pc file.

scanned the photo and it didn't use the ink. Really and truly the ink cartridges are more expensive than the bloody printer.

love it tho - printer and the scanner - just wish the cartridges were a little cheaper.

And I;m enjoying the big TV (with the little mark) in the bedroom. It is great to see close up.
