Digital BW, The Print

About to purchase new printer - ready to grab 2400 - diverted by 3800
- is it worth the extra $$$ - looking at quality factor - never have
call to print beyond 13" stock - matte only - b&w of course - feedback
appreciated -

Get the 3800!   The extra ink you will get will make up the difference in 
cost!

Best Wishes,
Mark Nelson

The 3800 doesn't take roll paper and there is still less support for
it by third party inks, e.g. piezography, though it's coming.  

Check out the 1400 if you want to do just black and white as you can
get bulk ink systems for it and it has a smaller 1.5p dot.  The
cartridges for the 2400 are maddeningly small but there are CIS
systems available to cut your ink costs by a factor of 2-3x, color and
b&w, and you can reload certain cartridges too as I do.  If the
printer is just a platform for other inks, the 1400 is the best
bargain out there today but it too doesn't take rolls. 

As I do bigger panoramics of 30-40 inches at times, the roll paper
(and its economy) is a bigger factor for me. CIS or reloadable
cartridges for these systems make life a lot easier.

I run a 2400 and a 4800 and would probably buy a 1400 (half the 2400
price or LESS) now if I were starting out for a b&w only platform.

Refurbished 3800s are currently $795 at the Epson store. That's after
the 20% off deal on selected items that include 3800s. The 20% off is
supposed to be some 7 day special.

The extra cost reflects the fact that there is 5 times as much ink in
the 3800. The quality of my friends 3800 prints sure beats my 2200.
