I doubt I’d have justified the cash, if fate hadn’t played a major role; the pay out for a burglary at my home near Cape Town in September last year has been sitting in my bank for a while, giving me time to decide what to do. The thieves took inter alia every single item […]

The Canon G650 proves quality isn’t tightly linked to printer size. As regular victims of my self-pitying rants on digital-printing complexity know, I’ve been looking at ways of doing my own test proofs at home, rather than send 50 euro bills to my favourite lab in Paris for this.

So you don’t have to 😉 – Maybe you should, though! In a recent roundup of news, I linked to a Peter McKinnon video detailing 10 reasons to try out the social platform Vero.
