I am sure that everyone has a trick or two for the printer that they use all the time, so please comment and let me (and others) know what they are (you can comment about any printer not just the Kodak 8500). I will be updating this as I run into more tips and tricks. Over the past few days I have been printing excessive amounts of photos because, well, it's fun! A lot of the photos are of a wedding. The pictures are outside with a light blue sky. The bride is in white and groom in black....
