Rating:  - * It really made a difference! ... I love to scrapbook and I like to print the pictures from my computer. I have an HP PSC 2355 and had been using the traditional inks. I was skeptical that it would make a difference, but I as much as I spend on other scrapbooking items I thought it was worth a shot. I was really pleased with the results. One thing I had to learn the hard way, USE HIGH QUALITY PAPER!!! Now I use HP Premium Plus photo paper. Printing pictures from your home computer is one of the areas where the additional money is worth it. Rating:  - * Good product ... HP cartridges are the way to go. The only downfall is that if you decide to purchase a cartridge when you DON'T need it, chances are that by the time you use this product, the cartridge itself may not work in your printer (say three months from the day of purchase). HP is awesome about cartridge replacement. So if it takes a dump, call HP! Rating: - * Excellent transaction ... Very fast delivery and exactly as ordered. Can't be better than that. Rating: - * A helpful option for photo printing ... Just bought one of these to try out for photo printing with an HP 5740 that came bundled with my computer a few years ago. Printing from RAW (NEF actually) files with a 96 and 97 combination gave me skin tones that were too heavily red saturated. This is less of an issue with JPEG files. I generally had to go into the levels tool in Photoshop and pull back the reds some for most portraits. Not so with the 99 cartridge in place. We'll see how many prints I can squeeze out of one of these. Frankly I see this as a stop gap solution for photo printing. Printers that use multicolor ink cartridges waste a lot of ink when used as dedicated photo printers. As soon as I can put together the dough I plan to add an Epson 2400 and use it strictly for photography. Ink will never be cheap but at least when I run out of red I won't be throwing away what's left of two other colors. Still this does expand the usefulness of compatible HP printers. Rating:  - * Tough Call ... I printed the same photo with the photo on an HP 6840 using 99 phot ink cartridge, then the standard black 96 and then 96 w/o HP enhancements. At first I thought the 96 was better than 99 because I got beter red saturation, until I realized that the red hue was stronger throughout the photo at the sacrifice of some green and whites that were not as brite. With out the HP enhancements, the 2 photos looked similar to my naked eye, but under magnification I could clearly see more eveness and saturation of color With the enhancements. |
Where the NBA Dynasty series (the other initial entry is the slightly meatier Los Angeles Lakers: The Complete History) outdoes Ultimate Jordan is in the six playoff games--one for each year--as they were originally broadcast, minus halftime and commercials. Having the nearly complete game (usually running 90-100 minutes, from the TV introductions to post-game interviews) means you can skip straight to John Paxson's clutch basket or what was expected to be the final shot of Jordan's career. Or you can savor each game in its entirety, all the better to appreciate the artistry of Jordan in his three-pointer barrage against Portland or his "flu game" against Utah. You can see other great players too, of course, including Jordan's teammates--Scottie Pippen, Horace Grant, Dennis Rodman--and those opponents unfortunate enough to face the Bulls--Clyde Drexler, Charles Barkley, John Stockton, Karl Malone, and others. Because these are all NBA Finals games, you won't see Jordan's shot over Craig Ehlo or his 63-point coming-out party against Boston, but the 1990s Chicago Bulls were a team for the ages, and merely having their games--some of them all-time classics--available for home viewing is a major milestone in archived sports. --David Horiuchi
While last-minute heroics tend to be the standard by which we define excellence, there are many other moments that have left an indelible impression, many of them highlighted here. The video clips fall into 10 categories: Dunks, Alley-oops, Assists, Steals, Blocks, Teamwork, the Clutch Shot, Moves, Hustle, and Buzzer-Beaters. At the beginning of each section is a brief introduction. Before showing the top 10 dunks of all time, for example, we learn about the evolution of the dunk--from the first slam to the man who could fly, Michael Jordan--and we hear background commentary from NBA legends such as Magic Johnson, Charles Barkley, Dr. J, and Bill Russell. This video recalls familiar moments of NBA lore that you will want to own for countless repeat viewings. --Jeremy Storey
