I use the 265 version and have it rigged with a continuous ink supply. I think I paid about £85 for the whole set up. I like it a lot. Cs

Oh bother or words to that effect.:bonk: D40 / 40d too confusing for my old brain. :D (bet my lens is sharper than yours then :lol:. :lol: :lol:. Time to hide. Bye

You will also want to learn about brush size, hardness and transparency. There are many tutorials on the web you can find through Google and I think they are better than videos. Photoshop has a steep learning curve but stick at it and you will get there. Finally and vitally important DO NOT...

I assume that you have some experts setting this up :D. They must have had experiance of people photographing these events. I would ask them and then go along with what ever they say. If you turn up with some home made rig they may very well not be happy :thumbsdown:
