gorgeous cards Anne, the colours are great
yeah your right a printer always seems just that, but you dont half notice the difference when you change things around a bit,
to get the full effect try printing the same image on different setting as well as different cardstock.

printers are pretty cheap in the supermarkets, got my Epson SX435W for under £40, they're not that normally, i got a Ciss for it too and for less than £100 for both i'm printing away like it's gonna dry up any day now the inks are only half way down too and i got it last year, so pleased i made the decision to get a new printer rather than stick with the poor print quality i was getting.
