How do they do it?
£16.50 (including delivery). There are no cartridges supplied, no USB cable, but even so - how do they do it for the price? I have 2 of these printers already, they have proved reliable in light operation (10 to 15 pages a day) and if you buy the XL cartridges the ink costs are not too bad. Does everything you need in the way of text and graphics (not so great for full-colour pictures).

Good product
I have no means of scientifically testing whether this oil is protecting my engine against wear, but the classification of 5W-40 is perfect for my older Vectra (a cold rating of 5W is more than adequate for British weather, the hot grading of 40 (slightly thicker than normal at operating temperature) is good for an older engine and should cut oil consumption). "Magnatec" oils are meant to stick to engine parts longer after the engine is switched off - I am sure Castrol would not lie! Certainly with this oil I get less noise on start-up from the hydraulic tappets, from which other oils tend to drain away - the tappets then need to pump up again for a minute or so. An all-synthetic oil gives some assurance that it will continue to work for 12 months between annual changes.

#1 in a field of 1
At this stage of the game Ilford has the field virtually to itself with regard to medium-speed black-and-white film based on "conventional" technology, at least in the premium sector of the market, now that Plus-X and Agfapan 100 are no more. (There may be something from Fomapan, I don't use this brand). No matter – FP4 Plus is an excellent film and delivers everything that could be expected from a product of this kind. Value for money? It's certainly not cheap but is affordable, above all of course one should applaud Ilford for staying the market at all!
