It’s Time
Michael Bubl?’s assured debut and the tireless year of globe-trotting touring he spent promoting it elevated the 20-something Vancouver native into the first rank of pop crooner revivalists. His sophomore studio follow-up largely turns on the same formula that helped make his considerable vocal prowess so attractive to mainstream audiences, mixing the nigh flawless, if expected Sinatra-channeling (”I’ve Got You Under My Skin”) with more playful and inviting renditions of pop standards like the Gershwin’s “A Foggy Day in London Town,” “Feeling Good,” “Try A Little Tenderness” and Cole Porter’s “I’ve Got You Under My Skin.” But it’s the eclectic mix of more contemporary material the singer seasons them with — apt tribute to Bubl? hero Bobby Darin — that keeps him walking the narrow tightrope between artistic intrigue (a blues-tinged vamp of Holland-Dozier-Holland’s “How Sweet It Is,” Leon Russell’s lovely “Song For You,” with a guest turn by Chris Botti) and the kitsch-laden abyss (”Quando, Quando, Quando”’s Euro-centric duet with Nelly Furtado, a ring-a-ding-fling with the Beatles’ “Can’t Buy Me Love” that echoes fellow Canadian crooner/rival Matt Dusk’s more successful flirtation with Lennon-McCartney). Arranger/producer Tommy LiPuma offers Bubl? a welcome swinging jazz showcase on “The More I See of You,” a bracing respite from the rest of producer David Foster’s slick, if typically bloodless MOR production. – Jerry McCulley [Note: A special edition including two bonus tracks--"Dream a Little Dream" and "Mack the Knife"--is also available.]

Epson Dura-Brite STYLUS C84/C86/CX6400/CX6600 High-Capacity Black Ink Cartridge (T043120)
Extend your time between cartridge changes with this high-capacity black ink cartridge. Designed specifically for use with Epson Stylus C84 and CX6400 printers, Epson’s DURABrite ink produces bold, black text. It’s excellent for double-sided printing, since the ink won’t bleed through standard white printing paper. The acid-free ink won’t damage paper over time and offers superior resistance to water, fading, and smudging.

Customer Review: I’ve Tried Everything.
I am pleased with the Epson factory branded original Dura-Bright ink cartridges. I’m not pleased with the price Epson charges for their cartridges, but… let me say that I have two printers, the C86 and a CX6600. On previous printers {not these two} I tried shortcuts to save money on ink costs. I tried refilling my own cartridges, which ended up costing a lot of time and money to accomplish, and was only marginally successful. I also tried buying recycled and non-branded cartridges. They never seemed to work in my printers very long without some sort of printing problems. Over the years, I probably tossed out ten reams of printing failures due to inkjet cartridge failures because of these feeble attempts to save money. Finally, I decided to just close my eyes, use the factory inks and pay the price. I have not had a single printing failure since. Not even one failure in two years. I’m convinced that in my case, the factory inks are the best answer to trouble free printing. Also, the Dura-Bright inks seem to work the best on my glossy paper.
