Steve, Doing 16 x 20" prints is still something the old 3000 can do quite well and the 13" printers can't. I'm in essentially the same situation as you. I have a 3000, currently filled with UT-FSN (and getting perfect nozzle checks even after sitting unused for months), and Piezo software that I'll be getting rid of. (In my case it's to make room for a 4000.) On Ebay it looks like the printers ought to be worth about $250 - $300+. The old Piezo software might at another couple bucks. I suppose being situated close to the seller is probably a major variable, to avoid shipping costs. At any rate, I'm going to either sell mine of give it to the local high school.

I had been using my 3000 with MIS full spectrum inks and the Piezo driver for B&W, and the 2200 for color. But since I finally got to trying the 2200 for B&W, I was totally blown away with the quality. Plus no banding on heavy paper, faster printing too. Can anyone think of any reason, other than cost of inks, to continue using the 3000 for B&W? Is there any chance of selling the 3000? (If anyone is interested in it, with remaining inks and the Piezo driver, let me know.)
