The Internet Marketing Center is probably best known for their IMC Course which was originally developed by Corey Rudl. Sadly, Corey Rudl died in 2005, however the Internet Marketing Center is still in business, and eBook Pro is the company’s eBook compiler software.

Two of the main features which are used to promote the program are its viral marketing capabilities:

1. The eBook Pro software includes an option to capture contact information from every person who reads the eBook (readers have to fill in a form before they start reading), and authors can choose exactly what type of contact information their eBook will collect from First Name, Last Name, E-mail Address, Company, Address, City, ZIP or Postal Code, State or Province, Country and Phone Number. Furthermore, I understand that eBook Pro is compatible with, and integrates with, the Internet Marketing Center’s Mailloop e-mail/contact management software.

2. The eBook Pro software also allows eBooks to include an option (enabled or disabled at the author’s discretion) to email a friend (and thus support viral email marketing). Authors who choose to enable this feature in their eBooks can also customize the viral email message to suit their requirements.

As well as the above features, eBook Pro also incorporates a security feature (based around password codes verified over the Internet) to prevent unauthorized distribution of eBooks. The software also includes capabilities for customizing the eBook’s toolbar (you can add your company’s logo), choosing a desktop icon for the eBook, enabling or disabling printing and so forth. At the time of writing the eBook Pro web site also lists a number of bonuses. It is my understanding that exactly what bonuses are offered may vary from time to time.

The current version of eBook Pro as of 13th May 2008 (when this article was written) is eBook Pro 6.0. The web site states the software is compatible with Windows 98 SE, Windows 2K, Windows ME and Windows XP, but not compatible with the Apple Macintosh. I could not find any information about whether eBook Pro 6.0 is compatible with Microsoft Windows Vista, at least not at the time of writing, so if you want to find out I suggest check their web site for updated information, or failing that contact them.

Don’t get me wrong: I’m as enthusiastic an angler as the next guy. I do wish to confess, on the other hand, that the more elderly I become, the less willing I am to carry around a weighty and cumbersome variety of fishing tackle. Whenever I am bass fishing, I prefer to travel light, yet still will need my tackle to be the appropriate sort for pursuing this difficult fish. Furthermore, I will need a rod that works well near the coast, with plenty of resilience to handle larger fish, when I’m fortunate enough to catch one. Just as I was starting to question whether I ever could get a rod to suit all my requirements, I came across the Penn Powerstix Pro Bass rod. Here’s exactly why I favour it so much.

Key Features of the Penn Powerstix Pro Bass Rod

This three-piece fishing rod is 11ft 6in in length. I really like that it’s made from a lightweight blank and has quite a slim diameter. The Powerstix Pro bass rod features a heart of effective and hard-wearing 24-ton carbon. Why is this important for anglers? Well, 24-ton carbon fibre carries a tensile strength of 24 tons for each square centimetre. Amazing! The fishing rod in addition has a Penn reel seat, EVA fore and also butt grips, eight guides, plus a tip guide. The combination of the guide spacing and guide size with the rod’s parabolic action make the Powerstix Pro suitable for use with fixed-spool or multiplier reels, specially when casting baits or lures.

More Info On the Powerstix Pro Bass Rod

This specific fishing rod is definitely the newest version in Penn’s renowned Powerstix line, and regardless of the term “bass” in its name, it really is quite adaptable. It is a three-piece fishing rod, meaning it can be stowed and transported effortlessly, because the carrying length is just 3ft10in. All portions are the same length. The Cordura carry tube is firm and protective, includes a convenient shoulder strap, and is also super easy for travelling. The Powerstix Pro bass rod is really a pleasure to cast with. In reality, the strength of the carbon fibre inside the fishing rod makes it possible for it to cast weights up to 4 ounces with ease, smoothness, swiftness, and precision, making it great for close quarters shore fishing. Do try it out on species other than bass, such as wrasse and flatfish.

Ending Thoughts concerning the Penn Powerstix Pro Bass Rod

The Pro Bass features quite an exquisite look. The ten Fuji guides’ whippings are exactly the same colour as the blank — a bold, intense red with silver trim. Yet another highlight I value would be that the last 50cm of the rod is actually reflective, hence bites could very well be clearly seen during the night time. The parabolic action I mentioned earlier is both slow and also through, with the pleasurable result that the fishing rod gives maximal sport without having to sacrifice control. Count on paying between £65 and £75 for the Penn Powerstix Pro bass rod.

This is a wonderful item of sea fishing tackle that is definitely affordable, adaptable, and high in quality. I’m pleased to give it a rating of 4.5 out of a potential 5 stars.

The Transition To The Steroid Era — World Champion Superstar Billy Graham

“The big cat,” Ernie Ladd; “Handsome” Harley Race! My two favorite wrestlers of all time. I forgot about how much as a kid I tried to develop an attitude like Ernie Ladd. I would ride around on my skateboard, announcing to everyone, that I was the big cat! Thanks to YouTube, I came to realize how great Harley Race was, even though I did not like him as much as a kid growing up (I see him as being what a man is supposed to be; a man’s man!). I see him as being a real tough guy who wanted to get into wrestling only to prove how tough he was (isn’t that what it is supposed to be about?). Today, I see most of the wrestlers wanting a six-pack, and afraid to say what’s really on their mind. It is so corporate, it’s pathetic! An example, is Harley Race, an old-school wrestler from the territories, confronting the “new steroid style” of wrestler that started becoming mainstream in the 80’s. The wrestler he confronted in the video is Superstar Billy Graham. In the interview, Superstar Graham confronts Harley Race from out of nowhere, while Race is giving an interview. Superstar proceeds to start flashing his huge steroid induced arms. I love it when Race says to him; “I don’t need that pumped up bologna, I’m a real man,” and said it rather calmly. Superstar waived his hand and walked away in discuss without saying a word.

That is exactly what I’m talking about. Wrestlers of the late 60’s and 70’s were easily tougher men than you see coming out of the curtains today; big fireworks, and glitzy, neon-colored clothes. Harley Race had an old school tattoo; no coloring, just black ink — he was tough! Today’s wrestlers are loaded up with colored tattoos and pumped up, steroid induced physiques. It is enough to want to make me puke! Ernie Ladd gave an interview where he called Chief Jay Strongbow a drunk Indian, and he called Manny Fernandez a “wetback.” He said he would beat all the black off “greezy” Bubba Douglas. Ernie happened to be a great black athlete. He was 5-time all-pro with the Chargers and Chiefs. Without a doubt, he was my favorite wrestler growing up. He was a proven great athlete, and you can tell in his younger matches that he moved like a great football player would. He ended up with bad knees when the 80’s rolled around.

Check Out Some Full Episodes Of Old School Wrestling On YouTube

As I said, I don’t seem to be alone in this thinking. If you look specifically at YouTube comments, for shows like CWF (Championship Wrestling From Florida), hosted by Gordon Solie, you will see nothing but mostly admirable comments from all people, young and old alike. But if you look at wrestling, post 2005 or so, you will see a lot of people that say that wrestling today is pathetic. That was another point I wanted to make; announcers like Gordon Solie used actual wrestling moves in their commentary: “high hip-toss”; “belly-to-belly suplex”; “catch as catch can wrestler”; “lockup – collar and elbow.” Those are just some of the phrases that lend credibility to the whole wrestling experience. I can remember vividly when I was a kid, attending the Tuesday night taping at the old Ft. Homer Hesterly Armory in Tampa. Those were times I will never forget.

If you love to sing, but never manage to perform like a pro, you can consider using Singorama. It is a professionally designed learning course that is supposed to make you sing like a professional. Can you really get the desired results? Find out more about the features, benefits and drawbacks of the program so that you can answer this question for yourself.

Singorama is a course based on a downloadable software program. You will learn how to sing using primarily audio and written instructions. The program consists of 28 lessons each one focusing on a different aspect of singing. There are a number of bonuses included in the package. These are special audios that allow you to warm up and to exercise your vocal styling.

It will not be a mistake to say that the program is quite coherent. It takes you from the very first steps of singing, voice understanding, breathing and posture, tone, styling and tune, to more complex tasks such as extending your vocal range. There are also practical lessons which will teach you how to use your singing knowledge (and talent) in different settings and mainly how to sing with a band.

How about the teaching? It is interesting to find out how the learning process goes with the Singorama course. As said earlier, you will receive both audio and written instructions. The Singorama lessons are packed with practical applications of the different techniques that you can listen to and repeat. There are also plenty of exercises especially designed to train your voice and to allow you to use the different singing techniques effectively. You will also use music recordings to practice syncing your vocal performance with the music.

In general, the teaching methods used in Singorama are traditional. You will learn the same things and do the same exercises if you sign up for a traditional singing course with a vocal teacher. The only difference is that you will not get much individual guidance when using the e-course. Even though Singorama is very thorough and has effective teaching methods, you cannot possibly get a feedback and correct any mistakes that you may be making.

The designers of the program have thought about this as well and have provided a solution. The course package includes an ear-training software program. It shows you how to develop “an ear for music”. Basically, Singorama will teach you different techniques that will allow you to assess your vocal styling and tune. This is a good aid to have in general. Still, you may still miss the guidance of a professional vocal teacher.

One of the advantages of the Singorama program is that it takes you one step further than teaching you how to use your voice to sing. There are practical lessons on stage performance, on dealing with stage fright and anxiety and on starting a successful career in music. In this respect, Singorama can help you become a professional, but it should be pointed out that in order to become a music star, you will need a lot of talent, persistence, creativity and even a business drive. These are things that a singing course cannot give you no matter how comprehensive it is.

Will you be able to become a professional singer with Singorama? On one hand, the course is comprehensive and very professional. It uses teaching methods that have been tested and proven to work. Additionally, Singorama gives you some valuable practical lessons on making a break through in the music business. Another advantage is that you can get training at your own pace in the comfort of your home. Despite all these benefits, there is no guarantee that you will become a star. Still, you may as well try.

It seems you almost can’t build a house over 5000 SF any more without including a multi-slide door. What used to be a luxury is now almost a requirement.

This being the case it appears that more and more consumers want to update their existing homes with these products. Their popularity cannot be denied so I feel the best way to discuss these doors are in terms of pro’s and cons. Then, you the homeowner can decide whether the decision is right for you or not.

Cons

1. Poor Energy Efficiency – Usually multi-slide doors are such large openings that they need to be made of aluminum to be able to manufacture such large openings. As you probably know, aluminum isn’t very energy efficient. Also having such large sections of your home being glass will also require more energy to heat and cool as opposed to if there was just wall space there. However, luckily glass is getting more energy efficient all the time, and there are several low-e glasses available that perform surprisingly well.

2. Difficult to Install – This is one of the projects that I would seriously recommend you hire a licensed contractor to install. Most manufacturers only sell the product as an installed unit because of the difficulty of installing them; they require all installers to be factory trained employees. Even manufacturers that don’t install, usually require vendors to be licensed glaziers.

3. Difficult for remodeling situations – Most multi-slide doors are designed with pockets and large spanning opening, they can be sometimes difficult to rearrange your existing framing to accommodate what you may be looking for. The home usually needs to be designed with the multi-slide door in mind to accommodate your exact design wishes. However, usually if you’re flexible with the design and configuration, there is usually a way to make it work.

4. May require a general contractor – Most times when installing a multi-slide door, it may require framing changes. Depending on where you live, if the change is made to a load bearing wall, you have to pull a permit and have an engineer sign off on the change. This will usually require a GC to handle the details for you. A simple French door or window installation can be done by a licensed window or door company.

5. Cost – These doors can be quite expensive. Most time when I give a remodeling customer / homeowner an estimate on these doors, it usually becomes price prohibitive. They see a French door or sliding glass door at a home store for 800 dollars and figure these doors are three times as big, so they should be three times as much right? Wrong, you see standard size doors are made with stock sized tempered glass. Multi-slide doors are custom sized and the price grown exponentially when you go to custom sizes.

Pros

1. Dramatic effect – No other home improvement will such a dramatic effect on the design, look and feel of your home. Removing what used to be a wall and replacing it with what amounts to a moving glass wall can really improve the lighting, look, feel and design of your home.

2. Indoor/Outdoor – These doors are the best way to create a space where the lines between inside and outside aren’t so clear. Some people like to barbecue and invite lots of people over but don’t quite have the space inside their home to entertain the way they would like to. Well, choosing the correct sill tract and continuing your flooring from inside to the outside and the lines between inside and outside disappear. The glass disappears into the wall and voila, you have doubled your living space without actually adding any space.

3. Automation – If you are going to the expense of installing these types of doors, you might as well have them automated as well. You can set them up with a motion sensor so when you walk up; they automatically open for you or your guests when you are entertaining. This feature is easily disabled when the need is no longer required.

4. Resale Value – nothing will catch the eye of a prospective buyer than a large expansive opening across the back wall of your home. Your competing neighbor may have nicer landscaping or a bigger pool, but if you can’t see it from inside the home, there isn’t the same perceived value.

So there you have the pros and cons of multi-slide / pocket doors. The fact remains that these are a luxury item and they are going to be expensive but like most things that are expensive, they are worth it.

When you love having barbecues in your backyard, chances are that you’ve experienced grilling in the rain. Unless it’s really heavy (too heavy for you to stop), there are a number of things you can do so that you can carry on cooking what’s on your grill. Better yet, you can come prepared – especially if you’re anticipating rain but still need to light your grill any way!

Here are some tips on how you can grill like a pro on a rainy day:

Find shelter

The most ideal thing to do is to create a permanently covered grilling station so that you can keep on cooking, no matter what the weather. But if this is not possible, there are temporary solutions you can try. Investing in a BBQ canopy or a retractable awning for your porch or patio is a good way to go.

But if you need a quick solution, a big patio umbrella or a tarp should do the trick. A 5-gallon bucket full or water or sand make good anchors.

Pre-cook your food

If you planned a BBQ session on a day you’re expecting some rain, pre-cooking your food in your kitchen is a good idea. For example, you can use the reverse searing method if you’re planning to grill some burgers or steaks, you just sear them on low in an oven and finish cooking then on the grill. This means less time in the rain for you!

Wrap your veggies

If you’re about to grill different types of vegetables, wrap them all together in tin foil and create a packet. Grill them together instead of separately to reduce time in the rain.

Create a windbreaker

When you’re grilling in the rain, the biggest enemy you’ll have is the wind. Your umbrella, tarp or canopy won’t do any good, so you have to improvise a windbreaker. Set up a sheet of plywood or something similar to create a “wall”.

Make sure it’s steady and won’t fall on anyone or on your grill!

Control your grill’s temperature

The rain will lower your grill’s temperature so you should take control so that it won’t affect the food. If you’re using a charcoal grill, you may need to add more to maintain the heat. If you’re using a gas grill, expect burner blowouts. If this happens, turn off the gas, open your lid to let gas escape for a few minutes before turning it back on.

Any products that are powered by electricity, also emit electromagnetic energy in the form of radio frequency emissions, or RF frequency. These signals generally fall in the AM/FM radio range, and can be measured with any RF signal detector. The problem is these frequencies disturb other equipment in the area, causing interference. In video surveillance situations, it could be loss of picture quality in your cameras or monitors. Other devices nearby can also be effected.

In order for these devices to function in an environment, they will have to be Electromagnetic Compatible (EMC), so they do not disturb or disrupt nearby equipment. In order for EMC to work, you have two items, emissions of the RF signals, and immunity from the RF signals. Immunity is the ability of any electronic product to tolerate the introduction of electrical energy from electronic products near by. You should look at both emissions and immunity when setting up a video surveillance network.

The biggest cause of emissions in a network camera deployment would be using unshielded twisted-pair or UTP cables to connect the cameras near RF emissions, instead of using shielded twisted-pair (STP) cables. The difference between the two is that the STP version is a Class B FCC product designed for home use, which will have higher RF emission requirements. The UTP is a Class A FCC rated product with lower emission requirements, meaning higher emission rates that will cause the interference.

The main issue is when you run the UTP in an environment that has other electrical devices like lighting, motors, or other electronic devices that give off RF signals. For example, running a UTP along side or inside a conduit with 12 or 24 volt electrical line to power a light. In this case, you would want to use the STP cable, which will help to block the emissions from the electrical line.

However, when you are just running one cable to one camera and nothing is near it, there is no reason why you can’t use UTP cable, as there is nothing nearby emitting electromagnetic signals. Let’s look at the Pro’s & Cons of STP cables.

The Pro’s of Shielded Twisted-Pair Cable is that it blocks RF emissions so you have less interference problems, resulting in better video quality.

The Con’s are it is more expensive, and less flexible, so installations might be harder & will cost more.

Since you really don’t have to run STP to every network camera, it should not be a huge problem or expense. Unless you see that you have certain camera cable runs that could be an issue with other electronic devices nearby, for the most part, you don’t need to run STP to every camera. Instead, you can install the UTP cables for the rest of your surveillance system, and save the STP for those other areas.

Making sure you are protecting your video signals in areas that have high RF emissions is critical to achieving a successful network camera deployment, so every camera can be seen, and the results recorded for future use.

In the staged art of wrestling, there are many pro wrestling jobbers who constantly lose. Because wrestling is fixed, obviously some of the wrestlers will need to lose. Those wrestlers who exist for the sole purpose of losing to others in order to make them look good are called jobbers, and are one of the backbones of professional wrestling. This article is dedicated to listing the top 10 best pro wrestling jobbers of all time.

10. Vincent/Virgil

This guy never really wrestled much, but he always seemed to be around. When he was in the WWF, he was named “Virgil,” making fun of the head booker of WCW at the time, Dusty Rhodes (whose real name is Virgil). When he came to the WCW, they decided to return the favor, changing his name to Vincent after the owner of WWF (now WWE), Vince McMahon.

9. Lodi

Lodi didn’t wrestle much either, however he was always present on WCW TV in the heat of the attitude era. He was a member of Raven’s flock, and never seemed to do much of anything other than hold up signs and cheer on Raven. Every rare once in a while he would get involved in a match, take a bump, then that would be it. Perpetual jobber.

8. The Mean Street Posse

Another attitude era relic, the Mean Street Posse were supposedly a group of Shane McMahon’s childhood friends. They never really won any matches, and mostly existed to put others over. They were generally only ever made very entertaining when getting mercilessly beaten, or by the presence of Shane McMahon and his silly, silly dance.

7. Kaientai

This group was comprised of Taka Mikinochu, Funaki and several other members of Japanese descent. They were involved in a number of ridiculous angles, including chopping off a certain part of Val Venis’ anatomy. Funaki is perhaps best known for his later angle as “Smackdown #1 Announcer.”

6. Shark Boy

Shark Boy is a relatively recent phenomenon, becoming known only as the stature of TNA has risen since about 2004. The kids seem to love him, and yet he almost always loses, helping to get heels over with the younger audience. Lately, he has developed a persona where he mocks Stone Cold Steve Austin, adding to his pure jobberificness.

5. Gangrel

Gangrel was a member of The Brood during the Attitude era, along with Edge and Christian. While Edge and Christian have both since went on to become World Champions, Gangrel kept getting fatter and now wrestles on the independent scene as “The Vampire Warrior.” He has a sweet entrance that saw him rise through the stage surrounded by a ring of fire, but ultimately such a cool entrance was wasted on this jobber.

4. Colin Delaney

Colin Delaney is another newcomer to the world of jobbers, but has done so very well. After a successful run as a face jobber on ECW, he was then switched to a heel in order to job to the faces on the roster. He’s been giving great performances along the way. Hopefully after his run on ECW, he’ll move to Smackdown or RAW to job to those respective rosters.

3. Brooklyn Brawler

The Brooklyn Brawler is one of the most well known jobbers, having worked with the WWF/WWE for decades. He seems to show up every rare once in a while to pick up a paycheck, and is always amusing in his losses.

2. The Shockmaster

The Shockmaster was only around for a very short while, but he shall be remembered. He used a voice distortion effect when he talked, and wore what can only be referred to as a stormtrooper helmet painted with purple glitter. He fell through a wall when he made his debut, and was seldom seen afterwards.

1. Al Snow

What does everybody want? Al Snow managed to send the crowds into a frenzy with just those few words. He became well known by starting the J.O.B. Squad, a stable made up entirely of jobbers. He made watching jobbers truly entertaining. He wasn’t that bad of a wrestler, either. All in all, Al Snow is the best jobber of all time unequivocally.

The best way to learn any subject is to experience it firsthand. No amount of cheatsheets, checklists, buddy advice, or new ideas can replace the wisdom that comes with years of experience.

The good news is that it is possible to glean some knowledge from those that have been there before. Our science is built by standing on the shoulders of giants, and our games are the same way.

The following are tips every fantasy football pro learns through their experience.

1. Understand what type of league you are in.

The type of league is a factor in the value of a player. Brandin Cooks is a prime example; Cooks was a great pickup in dynasty leagues last year, but wasn’t more than a sleeper option in redraft leagues until this year. After gaining some experience, he’s projected as a potential stud.

2. Know your league’s roster rules.

Sure, it would have been great to have Marshawn Lynch, DeMarco Murray, and LeSean McCoy as your first three picks, but if the starting lineup can only include two running backs, a lot of points will go to waste while another position suffers. A pro always has a full roster plan in mind.

3. Vary picks based on scoring system.

Having a great quarterback is nice, but most leagues nerf their scoring capability by reducing the number of points earned from passing stats. Aaron Rodgers is worth a high draft pick at six points per TD and one point per 20 passing yards. Four per TD and one point per 30? Not so much.

The most common example is PPR (points per reception). Wide receivers gain value, and the running back rankings get shuffled. Matt Forte is a mid to low end RB1 in traditional scoring, but in a league that uses PPR, he’s a stud. One point per reception adds 100 points to his total in 2014 alone.

4. Draft safer picks early.

Not every “safe” player gets to play the season, but it’s possible to reduce the risk. Every player available early is a great player. Aside from last year, picking Adrian Peterson over Darren “Glass Man” McFadden was a no brainer to any pro. Early picks are the cornerstones of a team, and picking an injury or legal risk in the first round is unnecessary.

5. Draft for upside after starters and subs are set.

Grabbing a halfway decent starter as a second or third backup wide receiver may sound great, but it’s a terrible idea. Players can and will go down during the season. More importantly, players can and will pop in a given year. Arian Foster the year he broke out, Kelvin Benjamin last year, and Alfred Blue and Davante Adams this year are great examples of “sleepers”- players that surprised most owners and put up top end fantasy scores. The league champion will likely have one or two starters that no one expected, and unless a league uses 20 man rosters replacement level players to cover bye weeks and injuries will be readily available.

6. Never draft a kicker or defense early.

Every rule has exceptions, but think about the previous tip. Acquiring a top end kicker or defense requires a pick somewhere in the eight to tenth rounds, a good range to pick top end sleepers. Kickers vary wildly from year to year, and many pro fantasy players use a different defense each week to chase easy matchups. A “streaming defense” can outperform even top end defenses. That doesn’t mean drafting the Seahawks isn’t worth the pick, there’s just more value in waiting on a top defense.

These are just the beginning. It’s possible to write entire novels on fantasy football, and each and every rule can occasionally be broken. The key is to remember this one word: value. The best fantasy football owners find ways to generate extra value and acquire better players for a lower cost.

Take these tips, play like a pro, and win your league if you can. Good luck!

The announcement of the 7900 Stylus Pro was made public by Meridian Cyber Solutions on October 15, 2008 through disclosure agreement with Epson America. With the release of the new Epson 7900 professional printer, many people are wondering if the Epson 7880 printer is being replaced. If not, why did Epson introduce another 24 inch professional printer and how do the Epson 7900 and the Epson 7880 compare?

The Epson Stylus Pro 7900 is not replacing the Epson Stylus Pro 7880. The Epson 7900 will be an addition to the 24 inch line of Epson professional printers. The Epson 7880 will remain a part of the Epson line for the foreseeable future.

The Epson 7880 has proven to be a stalwart production printer for photographers, fine artists, prepress and commercial users. The print quality, color gamut, flexibility, performance and price point of the 7880 will continue to make it a very viable choice in professional inkjet printers. If you buy decide to buy an Epson 7880 your compromises are little to none.

So what makes the Epson Stylus Pro 7900 special? As good as the 7880 is; Epson has made significant improvements with the 7900 in terms of print quality, color gamut, ease of use and performance.

With the release of the 7900 Stylus Pro, Epson introduces the HDR, High Dynamic Range ink set, with green and orange inks. Additionally the HDR ink set includes the long awaited auto-switching matte black and photo-black inks. Finally, users can select from three cartridge sizes including 150 ml, 300 ml, and 700 ml. The 700 ml cartridges offer the lowest pigment ink costs in Epson history. That compares to a maximum ink cartridge size of 220 ml for the Epson 7880.

The following is a short list of comparisons between the Epson 7900 and the Epson 7880. You can go to the information below for a complete comparison chart and information:

Ink: the 7900 10 HDR, High Dynamic Range inks, including both matte black and photo black as well as the new additions, orange and green. That is a total of 11 inks in comparison to the 8 inks of the 7880. (Note- Matte Black and Photo Black, a long awaited feature.)

Print Head: The 7900 uses a TFP, Thin Film Piezo, technology while the 7880 uses the older MicroPiezo AMC technology. Both have an ink repelling coating but the 7900 print head is more than twice as large with 360 nozzles X 10 inks as compared to the 7880 at 180 nozzles at 8 inks. In addition the Stylus Pro 7900 has nozzle verification and cleaning that was not available in the 7880.

Speed: The larger print head speed the 7900 along at nearly twice the speed of the 7880. A print of 20 by 30 inches printed at 1440 by 720 dpi High Speed takes 12 minutes on the 7880 and 6 minutes 39 seconds on the 7900.

Ease of Use Features: The 7900 has several improvements that are not implemented in the 7880 these include: spindle-free roll media loading (no more spindles); Rotary Cutter instead of blade cutter which permits the cutting of even thick media like canvas and water color paper; and ePlaten technology for paper and media loading ease and accuracy.

The 7880 will remain a real contender in the 24 inch professional inkjet printer market but the Epson Stylus Pro 7900 offers significant advancements that many uncompromising professionals will find compelling.
