My printer is called Blurb. After years of wasting money on printers, paper 
and inks, both standard and exotic ones, I gave away my Epson printer and 
all the supplies. Blurb books is what I prefer, and if I want something 
bigger to put on the wall, there are plenty of services, both local and 
online, that can do it for me.

Cheers,
Nathan
