I DON'T FUCKING BELIEVE IT
The old photos I've been scanning were on top of the printer scanner and just fell in and got printed on. The Bungee jump one got printed all across the front.

I was just going to say, good thing you scanned them!... you should probably look into treating them. I would think the alcohol has stripped away the gloss coat along with the ink?

The silver lining of this incident? We now know how to clean accidentally printed old photos.

beest says Jim may be right ther's a slight "water mark" but i think that was probably me using a damp cloth to try and get the ink off while it was still wet....
ah well....

I picture your printer with claws and jaws, snatching up things to satisfy its insatiable need to print on things.
 Please to describe how your pictures "fell in" because, honestly, it sounds like the kind of "it could never happen that way again" kind of thing that would happen to me! |

I have no idea! It had already printed a few pages just fine and then it started making funny noises and spat out my pictures. I wasn't watching it print before that. perhaps the vibration from the printing slowly jiggled them to the front of the printer until they fell off into the paper tray which sticks out horizantally?

Think two chess moves ahead, here:
Once you have them scanned, the digital copy is the one you'll want to protect. The original prints are too much trouble, as we see. Unless someone in those photos becomes historically notable (you can't rule that out), the only thing someone in the future will want to do with those originals is to SCAN them! But any future scan will inevitably start from a print that is degraded from your current scan. |

It's not funny because your pictures could have been ruined, but it is funny because I picture this happening and you being all like WTF when they came out. Again, it wouldn't have been funny if it hadn't turned out so well.
