Thanks Mike, Looks like a capable monitor.
Good find on the web site, I have not found that one on my searches.

When things go right, it definitely is enjoyable to get the rewards from them.

"H-IPS is a newer variation of S-IPS with a different pixel structure that improves contrast ratios and lowers pixel pitch to provide better picture quality."

I have just purchased 2 off Dell U2711 monitors.  These are 2560 x 1440 resolution and are H-IPS.
Calibrated them with my new SPyder 3 which I had to purchase (had a SPyder 2) to get windows 7 support.

If these monitors are available to you, I would definitely add these to your look at list.
The resolution alone is a great and the colours are bright and appear to have better variation than the old viewsonics I had before.

Thanks Terry,
Looks like a very practical item for a nice finish.
I will check out our local stores here to see if they have something similar and if not I will bring some in to try.

Gedday Terry,
Do you have a link for these filing strips.  Interested to see what they look like and see if I can get some here in NZ.

Personally, I moved my 9800 about 1000 km, with the cartridges out and made sure the waste tank was completely dry.
Locked the print head in place with the standard lock and used the mechanical bolted lock that comes when new.
Removed the stand and laid it on some foam protector to absorb the bounce.
Also make sure that it is well protected around the printer and nothing hard is vibrating against it, like mine did.

Ended up wearing the paint of one particular area with all the vibration.

I know of someone who moved a 4800 with the waste tank full, and they ended up having to strip the machine to get ll the ink out of everywhere.

Good luck

Paul

Thanks Mike for providing an outlet and meeting point for all of us out here in Internet land.
Will be great to see where this forum will lead and go on to teach all of us old and new tricks.
