Subject: Re: [Digital BW] Epson R1900 VS. Epson 2880
So if you are going to print enough to use a CIS - why not just get the new
3880?
They are no more expensive than a 2880 once you include the value of the
extra ink you get with a 3880 and you won't have the hassle of resetting
the ink cartridges /CIS and wasting ink on cleaning cycles every 5 prints
(as one cartridge after another empties). Plus you get 17" wide printing and
despite that they are not much bigger than a 2880.
