" With so many inkjet printers on the market already heard Eastman Kodak company suddenly gain of one -- Kodak sells its inkjet printer cartridges -- substantially less than rival companies like Hewlett-Packard. Hewlett-Packard fight back by saying that you don't really save that much money with Kodak cartridges. And that -- printers have a longer tradition of reliability quality we put it to the test by trying now to the latest all in one printers from HP and Kodak. The Kodak ESP seven and BHP -- all in one printers have a lot of features in common. Each of them has Wi-Fi wireless networking built in you don't have to connect your computer with a wire you can print out wirelessly from anywhere in the house. Each of them also has a built in scanner and copier. War making copies of your existing photographic prints more documents you've got lying around -- house like taxes. Of course the real test -- printers print quality. Text printing was pretty much of the draw between two. But when he came to printing photographs there's no question about it BHP does a better job. Pictures were richer with livelier colors the signified with the built in scanner. A photograph scandal of the HP system stuff look better. With more accurate color and deeper richer counts. In the same photograph scare them collect. We came down to basic document printing. It was pretty close to withdraw. The Kodak Berger was not quite as fast as BHP but the difference was minor except on -- occasionally printed out a long document. For some reason the Kodak slow through April when asked for another hundred pages. But not that many people do such long documents for average every day printed book burners will serve you well but what do the two was more economical. Each of them cost around 200 dollars. Replacing -- can get a little bit more complicated. That's because in the Kodak printer all the colored inks are stored in a single cartridge of even one column runs out you have to replace the whole thing. With the HP printer peach colored ink is in a separate cartridge so you can replace them one at a time. That means in under certain circumstances it might actually be cheaper to use BHP depending on what kind of color printing you do. So does the Kodak printer really cost less to operate for me he. Frankly it depends on what kind of training you do it how much of it. But after trying to help both machines its safe to say that you really can't go wrong side who want. From the -- plant -- I want to break."

Snow and cold air coming into the northern plains right now and that is going to dig down into the central plains and eventually affect our weather by the time we get to late Thanksgiving. And Friday as -- also in the meantime. We get rid of the storm system tomorrow and that means we'll still likely have a lot of clouds maybe on the cape in the Allen's the breaks of sunshine to. And we'll have a dry dates miles that is the good news we've got some scattered rain and snow showers up towards the Great Lakes. Both of these storm system's starting to dig down into the Ohio valley. . This -- kind of lose some steam as the one behind it takes over. And that means for Thanksgiving Day we're dry here in the northeast just got lots of clouds around. But eventually this low and deep moisture off to the south -- going to combine an apple bring rain.
