Digital BW, The Print

As someone who is somewhat familiar with both the 3800 and the 1400 
I would suggest one way to gain more information before making your 
decision would be to contact Jon Cone/Inkjetmall.com and request 
print samples made on the two machines using different piezography 
ink sets. I suggest you inspect the prints with a 10x loupe as 
well.  Judge for yourself which combination you prefer. All else 
being the same, if you need 17x22", then you would need to go with 
the 3800, if 13X19" suits you then the less expensive 1400 will be 
fine.
