The 1800 looks good, but more expensive. I will have to think about it some more.

I'm glad you recovered. You seem to have a busy travelling live. For the last 5 years I have been travelling between NL and UK on an almost biweekly basis.

I'll be happy to improvise...office supply store perhaps. Plenty of time.   John Kelly  505 899-4550   Mon, 16 Nov 2009 17:14:40 GMT colingruk http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/UK_BW_PrintExchange/message/1631 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/UK_BW_PrintExchange/message/1631 John, I found nothing like the packaging that you can buy in US post offices on the UK website. I try to avoid large post offices but will see when I next got Mon, 16 Nov 2009 16:17:15 GMT djon http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/UK_BW_PrintExchange/message/1630 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/UK_BW_PrintExchange/message/1630 Colin, they're sturdy envelopes, yes, but I don't think they're sturdy enough for round-trip use. As well they typically get destroyed in the opening Mon, 16 Nov 2009 15:40:42 GMT colingruk http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/UK_BW_PrintExchange/message/1629 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/UK_BW_PrintExchange/message/1629 John, If I recall correctly the USPS Priority envelopes are quite sturdy and I reckon that it will take return postage. If not I may have other envelopes I Mon, 16 Nov 2009 14:39:20 GMT horstenj http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/UK_BW_PrintExchange/message/1628 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/UK_BW_PrintExchange/message/1628 You're right about the number of slots. If I'm correct, the 1800 has 8 slots so could that be an alternative? As said, I use an R285 (also a dye printer) with Mon, 16 Nov 2009 14:26:49 GMT djon http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/UK_BW_PrintExchange/message/1627 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/UK_BW_PrintExchange/message/1627 Colin...The US Priority envelope safely holds a dozen prints, plus the reinforcement I use (plastic file folder).   John Kelly  505 899-4550   Mon, 16 Nov 2009 14:26:21 GMT m_r_tomlinson http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/UK_BW_PrintExchange/message/1626 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/UK_BW_PrintExchange/message/1626 Thanks, Joost. I think the 1400 only has 6 slots so UT7 would not work (unless you drop the sepia toner). That's why I was going to put eboni-6 in the 1400.
