Printing For Notebooks

So a while back I installed an HP Envy printer. I finally sourced affordable 4×6 inch matte photo card for it. I have a collage app on my phone that I’ve used to make four-image A4 pages to send to the printer. I convinced the app to go to 4×6, and eventually managed to convince the phone to print to the photo tray rather than the A4. Ran a quick test and it does indeed spit out a print that can be scissored down the middle without trimming and pasted straight into the Passport notebook.

(I admit, I am still kind of hankering after a Roterfaden)

For me, this is a bigger deal than you might think. I’ll be able to combine notes and finds and send them to the printer when I’m thinking about it without having to go for a thermal printer for that task, which does not produce archival print.

I’d been thinking about getting a wireless thermal printer just because I want the transmission from phone to print to be relatively frictionless. I also still kind of miss the Little Printer. But thermal prints fade fast.

All my thinking and probably half my referencing is in analogue. Being able to paste a greater range of material into my notebooks is all to the good.
