What kind of quality is the paper and how long does it last? HP offers a guarantee against fading, smudging, etc. on their work.

Raymond, you might want to check out snapfish.com. They're running a special right now of $0.19 4x6 prints. I've used them several times and have been pleased with the results. My local Costco also does them, and I think they do them in a hour all for the same price too. I have to admit though that I'm usually to lazy to drive to the Costco and I just send them to snapfish :) Marlon Haggerty, Mike wrote: > Raymond - I am on my second cartridge after making 130 > prints (2 60-count packs of photo paper + the 10 sheets that came > with the camera).
