From what I can see of the 3800 feed mechanism; Epson simply scaled up 
the design of the smaller machines. Some things scale up well, others 
do not, or at least only scale well to a certain point. I honestly feel 
the 3800 is 'pushing it' too far, and yes, I do think it is at least a 
design weakness if not an outright flaw. And my experience is not 
unique, there were a number of complaints on this list when the first 
units started arriving back at the beginning of 2007. And yes, there 
are kludges and work-arounds, I'm intimately familiar with all of 
them,but I feel I shouldn't have to resort to that. C'mon, Alan-why 
should a $95.00 R2600 work flawlessly, while the $1200.00 3800. needs 
babying?
