printer, scanner, fax, copier, dog washer

frustrated with the limitations of our previous printer, we finally took the plunge and invested in a new one to aid us in our infamous save the date project.

after much on-line
research (and much scoffing at so-called unbiased reviewers on websites) we finally decided on an hp officejet 7310. it's one of those new-fangled all in one printers that also includes a fax, scanner, and copier. for the price, we hoped it could wash the dog, too.

set up was pretty painless, and so far we are pleased. unlike our older printer, the new one prints on custom sized paper (hallelujah). we also wanted to see what it would look like if we laid objects directly on the scanner bed. you can see the result with this picture of cell phone charms that dabney whipped up a couple of months ago.
on the full-size version, the scan is so clear, you can see the individual stitches in the fabric.

the jury's still out on the fax function, but we'll let you know.
