The 3800's weak point is the switch between PK and MK. The 3880 I have has a dead PK. So, I use it for a matte paper only, Eboni-based system.
I became interested in this platform because I think there are going to be lots of these on the market -- cheap -- as people switch to the P800. Using the 3800/3880 as a dedicated B&W machine and never switching the black ink type is probably the best future for the platform.
FWIW
