mean that I burn images to CD-R and get nearly perfect 4"x6" prints for
$0.29 USD. Wal-Mart uses the Fuji Frontier and Fuji paper. The next time I
go, I'm gonna use the Fuji Crystal profile to re-save the images from
Photoshop. The profile is available free in the download area of Pop
Photo's web site. www.popphoto.com I think.

nicer, wide-carriage ink-jets. I have no experience with those and they're
not in my price range. I guess everyone needs something to print text on at
