Dear can man. If it works for you and you are pleased with your shots, use Live View all you want. What’s important is the enjoyment of your art.
I love Red River Paper. They have metallic papers I use a lot. They also have large size photo paper and photo rolls. I tried them on a whim-and never go anywhere else. My printer is a Canon Pro 10.
I had a strange thing happen with my B&H order. I received my camera just fine ( because they wanted a signature, I had it delivered to Walgreens) but they sent me the wrong invoice. Got that squared away and got another notice from Fedex that I had a delivery which was scheduled for Monday. Well weather hit and so they say they will deliver today. Problem is-I received everything I ordered last week. So, I wonder what they sent me!?
I only buy Canon so I go through B&H or directly through Canon. Prices and rebates are the same. B&H is terrific. Bought a spendy camera from another place once-it was supposed to be new but had someone else’s photos on it. When I complained, I was told the shop was making sure the camera worked before they shipped it. I sent it back and bought a new camera from B&H.
I had an HP 7180 for years-no upgrade for High Sierra so I bought an Envy 4520. Cheap. Ugh-slow, clunky, shut down between prints. Went to sleep and would not wake up. Two weeks and now I can’t seem to give it away. Bought a Canon TS 8020- works really slick for everyday use. We print and scan a lot. Plus it works with my new iMac. I have the Canon Pro 10 for my photos but the TS produces decent prints for other family members banned from the Pro.
