Digital BW, The Print

I read on the http://people.csail.mit.edu/ericchan/dp/Epson3800/index.html
webpage the 3800 cannot use the newer 3880 Epson inks.
I would call the Cone office to be sure. The 3880 has a new print head and uses a different algorithim.

I have been seriously considering moving to the Cone inks and refillable cartridges. Cone also offers the Vivid ink in at attempt to provide that newer gamut from the inks of the 3880.

Of course, buying the system and then immediately shelling out another $400-to whatever for profiling is a bit of a puzzler. In short, is going for the Vivid colors worth it?
