My New Red Rider Cowboy BB Gun
Christmas is oh so grand for us " Kids at Heart". Instead of that bb gun that I wanted for Christmas years ago, as the saying goes the older we get, the bigger and more expensive our toys get. I'm going from a R 1800 to a 4880 and my wife nearly p*#ped her pants when this behemoth arrived. It's like 3 feet by 3 feet and 14" high. Can't wait to start printing on it more. Test prints have been fantastic thus far! Sorry for the rant, I'm just too excited and wanted to share with fellow photographers! :wavey:

So when are you going to start printing pictures for everyone?

Actually in all seriousness if anyone is interested, I could and am willing to try printing for people. Email me off line to inquire. The width dimesional limits on the 4880 are 17" . And preferably print on Moab Entrada matte as I am not looking forward to switching the blacks due to the waist of $$ when doing so. :wavey: :toast:

Congrats Mitch, the 4880 is a great machine. I'm sure you'll really enjoy it. BTW, I also print on Moab Entrada (natural 300gsm) and really like the paper for the price. Have fun!
