Kodak Camera Dock 6000
 I need help selling a camera on eBay? Okay, the camera works, it takes pictures, it comes with everything including the Kodack Easyshare camera dock 6000, the USB wire, the 64 MB memory card, and the main wire that runs into the wall. The camera is a KODAK EASYSHARE CX6330 ZOOM DIGITAL CAMERA and has a retail of $160 when I bought it. The only problem with the camera is that it tends to not charge the battery, which might be a problem with the battery, and also, the little piece that holds the battery in doesn't hold it in very well, which can all be fixed. So, the question is, does anyone have any suggestions on a fair starting bid price for this camera? Number one, be honest about the condition of the camera, do not hold anything back. Explain in detail, like you just did. I would start the bidding at a reasonable price of about 1/4 the cost, or $40. I f you want a reserve price, you can say so and not sell unless that reserve price is met. Many people might want the camera for other reasons. Maybe the body is cracked or they need the lens or the mainboard inside. Batteries are also replaceable. Just because it doesn't hold a charge doesn't make it worthless. To someone else who can't find parts to fix their camera, your camera is worth as much as the world will pay for it! But, the real way everyone on Ebay rips all of us off is in "shipping and handling". If you charge another $30 or $40 to mail a $4.00 package (post office already offers minimum insurance, extra is not much more). I refuse to buy ANYTHING from Ebay simply because I changed my email address and they wanted a credit card number for ID. Excuse me? No where in the terms of my credit card agreement does it say I am not responsible for fraudulent charges when using my credit card as "ID". I am only protected WHEN I MAKE A PURCHASE!!! So, apparenty, I could give Ebay my credit card number as ID, that info could be stolen, and I could be held accountable for thousands of dollars in fraudulent charges, simply because I gave this number to Ebay? I don't think so!!! Ebay will never get my credit card number nor my business again. And if everyone was smart, they would stop doing business with Ebay until they stop asking for credit card info that could be stolen. Ebay doesn't process payments...most of them are done by second parties, such as "pay pal" Never give out credit card info to ANYONE who is not charging your card for a purchase. Why not just give it to a bum in the street? Don't forget expiration date and the CVV of the back!!! Better yet, just give them your card forever! |

Information Concerning Dye-Sublimation Printers
Dedicated photo printers differ from all-purpose printers as they are designed to print photos only, as opposed to text or graphics documents in addition to photos. They are generally compact in size and lightweight, and some models even feature batteries that allow you to print without the need for an outlet. Most photo printers, including dye-sublimation (or dye-sub) printers, are built around a thermal dye engine, though there are a few that feature inkjet technology.
For many years, dye-sublimation printers were specialist devices used in demanding graphic arts and photographic applications. The advent of digital photography led to the entry of this technology into the mainstream, forming the basis of many of the standalone, portable photo printers that surfaced in the second half of the 1990s.
The term "dye" in the name refers to the solid dyes that were used in the process instead of inks or toner. "Sublimation" is the scientific term for a process where solids (in this case, dyes) are converted into their gaseous form without going through an intervening liquid phase.
The printing process employed by true dye-sublimation printers differs from that of inkjets. Instead of spraying tiny jets of ink onto a page as inkjet printers do, dye-sublimation printers apply a dye from a plastic film.
A three-pass system (featuring solid dyes in tape form on either a ribbon or a roll) layers cyan, magenta, yellow, and black dyes on top of one another. The print head on a dye-sub printer uses tiny heaters to vapourise the dye, which permeates the glossy surface of the paper. A clear coat is added to protect the print against ultraviolet light. Although this method is capable of producing excellent results, it is far from economical. Even if a particular image does not need any one of the pigments, that ribbon segment is still consumed. This is the reason it is common for dye-sub printer compatible paper packs to contain a transfer film capable of producing the same number of prints. In addition, dye sublimation inks need a paper that allows the ink to remain on the surface of the paper.
Nowadays, a number of inkjet printers on the market are capable of deploying dye-sublimation techniques. The cartridges in such printers spray the ink, covering the page one strip at a time. The print head heats the inks to form a gas, controlled by a heating element that reaches temperatures of up to 500° C (higher than the average dye sublimation printer). A big difference in the results with dye-sublimation technique is that because the dyes are applied to the paper in gas form, they do not form distinct dots with a hard edge like inkjet printers. Instead, the edges are softer and blend into each other easily. Additionally, the infusion of the gaseous dye into the paper yields a more colour-fast picture.
Comparing Dye-Sublimation Printers and Inkjet Printers
Although it is difficult to point out every possible advantage and disadvantage when comparing inkjet and dye-sub printers, the following list mentions the major points that apply to most people printing photos at home.
Advantages of Inkjet Printers over Dye-Sub Printers:
· Prints are very precise with sharp edges
· Latest models offer incredible detail that exceeds most dye-sub printers
· Variety of papers/surfaces available-including matte, luster, glossy.
· Not locked in to one manufacturer's paper
· Some archival inkjets can produce prints that long-lasting
· Most inkjets can print on many different surfaces that are designed to accept ink, including CDs, CD inserts, envelopes, etc.
· Inkjets have a considerably larger colour gamut and usually produce more vivid photos than dye-subs
· Easier to obtain large format inkjets that can print 11x14, 13x20 sizes, or larger
· Inkjet printing is often cheaper than dye-sub printing
Inkjet Printer Disadvantages:
· Often much slower than dye-sub printers
· Most non-archival inkjets produce prints that fade a little (sometimes a lot) faster than dye-sub prints
· Print heads sometimes clog and require cleaning, or even replacement
Advantages of Dye-Sub Printers over Inkjet Printers:
· Very fast
· Relatively maintenance-free
· Smooth with no dot patterns visible, even under magnification
· Produce excellent shadow detail in dark areas where some inkjets may be "blotchy"
· Prints are usually more durable and more waterproof than inkjet prints
· For many viewers, dye-sub printers produce photos that look and feel more like real photographs due to the smoothness of the prints and the absence of visible dot patterns
Dye-Sub Printer Disadvantages:
· Consumer level models often smear high contrast edges (like a black square on a white background) to some degree, making charts, graphs, and line art look a little less "precise"
· Dye-sub prints typically only last as long or slightly longer than a good non-archival inkjet printer and are generally not considered "archival"
· Paper type selection is very limited and while dye-sub printers produce excellent glossy photos, most fall behind or do not even offer the option of matte prints
· Dye-sub printers use an entire page and an entire page worth of ribbon even to print one small wallet size photo
· Pages cannot be normally fed through the printer twice to fill more of the page as they can in inkjets
· Dust can sometimes get inside and cause vertical scratches on prints
· Dye sub printing and the cost of paper and toner (ribbon) is often higher than inkjet printing
