I'm curious, what would a printer like this sell for ?

I have an Epson R1800 sitting around not being used. I figured I'd offer it
here before posting it on flea-bay. Hopefully, this type of post is OK here.

This R1800 started life as a dedicated printer for Piezography K7 inks with
a CIS. Lasted only a very short time in this use because I decided I need
bigger prints I switch the K7 inks to a 4000. (The K7-R1800 actually
produces a better print, IMHO) Then is got a CIS with MediaStreet color
inks. Still didn't get used much. Now it's not used at all. It has it's
original box and a set of Epson ink cartridges installed, 2 of which are
showing empty, the others show
from full to half. It will probably need a cleaning after sitting.

So if someone is looking for an R1800 to use for Piezography K7 inks, here
is a printer for you. It will produce exactly the same K7 results as a R1800
or an R2880. If you need a CIS for it, I have the old CIS that held the K7
inks. It's Niagara IV, that was originally purchased from InkjetMall and it
was cleaned out and put in the box, and is in very good shape -- it just
needs new tubing between the tanks and cartridge (due to a hole), which can
be had very cheaply from MediaStreet.

So, if you're looking for an R1800 with or without a CIS for a monochrome
B&W inkset, let me know.
