Granted that raw salmon, tuna, and other fish used raw in sushi preparation are popular, cooked, flavored, scrambled egg, cooked shrimp, cooked octopus or squid, pickled mushrooms and pickled radishes, cucumber, and many other vegitable items are also used in traditional sushi. In addition, there are some recent additions - possibly a fusion of Japanese and western palates - like California roll with crab and avacado. |

It's that "other stuff" (raw fish) that turns me off. I like rice, I
honestly had a large bowl California rolls are well, mainly a western thing, and are very tasty. No fish or meat just avacado and cucumber rice and a seaweed roll. Some people put mayo on them... but that I find doesn't agree with me. Most of the store bought sushi actually uses cooked fish, with the exception of seattle rolls which tend to be made with uncooked lox and cream cheese. This is one of my favorites. Spider, rainbow, caterpillar, and crunch roll I believe are also western in orgin. But heck, make your own rolls if you like. I've always been meaning to try some mixtured of sauted prawns and mushrooms. The worst thing that can happen is you'll have rice and something else you like wrapped in seaweed, and it's very hard to find things that don't go with rice and seaweed. |

I am printing outdoor pictures on Canon i950 using Canon Glossy Photo Paper. On screen, pictures were sharp and great. When printed, pictures were reddish overall. Black stuff came out purple on prints. (All pictures were taken with Sony 5 MP digicam.). I don't see any problem with camera and screen color. Using Photoshop, I tried to change the color balance: I changed color level from red to cyan ( to the level of cyan -60). Printed pictures were still reddish, though less reddish this time. I am wondering what is the problem? Should I change magenta ink cartridge or print head? Need your help. Satoshi The i950 is a great printer. First is your monitor calibrated? Turn off all auto settings, Photo optimization, image opt. Go to manual settings and play with color settings. If a nozzle check shows OK then you should be able to correct this. Don't let anyone tell you to buy an Epson printer. |

I already got rid of i950. I tell you that it has nothing to do color
on monitor. If I print plain paper with standard resolution, color is exactly the way I see on the monitor and the real thing. The problem starts on glossy papers (all papers other than plain paper). It appears that i950 has inherent problem on reddish tint. With ip4000, pictures are gorgeous on glossy and non-glossy papers. So it has nothing to do with monitor. Epson printers were great but the problem is its persistent clogging problem. I am very happy with ip4000. Hope this helps. Satoshi "Rod Williams" wrote in message news:iWsCe.2165$Kz3.204@trndny04...
