Guy,
I'm looking over the Epson 3800 too. Important features for me are ink economy and excellent monochrome. I have a 2200 and friends have the 2400 which they love - except for the high ink costs. The difference in cost for the 3800 with 80ml carts over the 2400 can be made up in ink cost. We're having trouble finding a store in Michigan that has a 3800 to look at they sell so fast. BTW another inexpensive option I'm looking at for a 13 in. printer is the new Epson 1400. I can't find info on the ink capacity

Guy,(Preface: I know it's not the same printer but the drivers are the same.)I upgraded from the 2200 to the 2400 and it was worth every cent. I can print color on 'auto' and get fabulous results without a hitch. And this using the 'in the box' profiles. I am on a calibrated system so I do know that makes a big difference.The tonal gradations in this new batch of printers is amazing compared to the 2200. And the ability to tone black and white in all sorts of various shades is amazing.I say go for it. I don't believe you'll be a bit disappointed.Lea

Hi everybody!My photo store just received the new Epson Stylus 3800 Pro printer. It looks like a terrific machine for a relatively modest price, capable of handling 17x22 cut sheet paper up to extremely thick weight.Does anyone have any comments (good or bad) to make about this printer?I'm rather tempted to acquire one, since it would pay for itself fairly quickly.Thanks in advance,Guy
