2014 has been a year of change. So many things had happened, big, small, good and bad, all I can say is that I am thankful. Or to be exact, I choose to be thankful because some things are out of our control.
I thank God for the great things that happened in my life, things such as getting a job that allows me to travel and experience different cultures, having the opportunity to do what I love which is writing and blogging, and to meet new people as well as reunited with friends that I've not seen for a really long time. I also thank God for the unpleasant moments and experiences because they are priceless, a lesson learnt for me to prepare for my future self. Not only making me stronger and more mature, but it also taught me about humility and the gift of silence.
Being in an age where technology abounds, memories are all in a form of soft copies. Not photographs, not photo albums. Who can blame us really, we love our smartphones, we love our social media, and we love our hard disk. We are all so digitalised that it's almost hilarious when I find myself being super excited when I see a photobooth that instantaneously prints my pictures. Interestingly, is not just because I like getting my pictures taken, I mean come on, I can selfie anytime with my iPhone, but it's the thrill of getting your pictures printed.
So I'm glad to be able to collaborate with Canon Malaysia to reignite the photo printing culture in Malaysia. It's not just for the young people, it's for people of any age. And this time, you no longer have to run out to the shop to get it done, you can print them at the comfort of your home.
The advancement of printing technology has made today's photo printing easier. Leveraging on this, if you have a mobile device with Near Field Communication (NFC) technology, you can now print your photos by just tapping your devices to the printer. Otherwise, you can still connect your devices through Wi-Fi and print your pictures without an external/additional wireless router.
I had the opportunity to experiment with the new Canon's PIXMA MG7570 All-in-One printer that offer features such as NFC and Wi-Fi. Obviously, I'm no android user, so I went all out with the AirPrint function like there was no tomorrow! Can you imagine how gleeful I was when I finally found the use of my print button after using iPhone 5 for about two years. It was exhilarating!
How to use AirPrint function for iPhone?
- Go to settings and connect your Wi-Fi to the printer.
- Get into your photo album and select one picture (or more) that you would like to print.
- Then tap on the icon (box with and arrow pointing upwards) at the bottom left of the screen. It will appear as such on my picture (1) in the collage above.
- Swipe the bottom to the left till you see a print icon, tap it.
- Select your printer as shown in picture (2) and (3), and select the number of copies you would like to print before actually tapping on the print button.
- Wa-lah. Sending for printing.
If you've just switch the printer on, it will need a while to warm up, but once you got the first one out, it just keeps printing till the job is done. It is so quick and sooooooo easy! Literally, I was overwhelmed in delight for such straightforward gadget. It was fun!
Storing soft copy pictures is certainly more convenient but nothing beats the physical touch of a photograph. It's not only for you to show off to others on some of your proudest moments, it also serve as a reminder to you of your most precious memories and people in that season of your life.
