Digital BW, The Print

OK. Here are the stats I have from my 3800 log. It sounds like you
might want to wait awhile until more user feedback is available on the
3800 before buying one.

I printed 4 -  8 x 10's on letter sized F-Gloss this afternoon.   1440
dpi, high speed on, dry time of 2 secs. print time averaged 7min and
15 secs  each. I wasn't sure if I could pick on a previous 16 x 20 in
the log with the correct dry time associated, so I didn't try to. 

Hope this info. is useful.  I have added all I can on this topic.
