Digital BW, The Print

Hi there - After attempting to read through many of these posts, I think my head is about to 
explode ;) I know I could go back in the archives to look up posts on this but, if you don't 
mind, I don't have a lot of time to make this decision.

My R1800 went in for servicing with bad news as a result. The entire sheet feed assembly 
needs to be replaced and essentially, is not cost-effective to repair. The printer was only a 
year and a half old, too..

I was thinking of getting the 2400, (opinions, please?) but am thinking I may have  the 
opportunity to buy a printer that prints 16x20. I really have no comprehension of most of the 
vernacular used when dealing with ink jet printing, so, in plain English, can someone tell me 
their opinions of the Epson 3800? Also, what is the big difference between the standard and 
portrait models? For me, this is an expensive printer and will need to actually sell prints to 
pay for it, so I want to make sure I am making a wise choice.

Things were much simpler for me when I had a darkroom.

Thanks in advance,
AnnMarie
