In a sense the 4900 could be used but its a whole lot larger physically even
though it has similar printing specs. You've got to know how to deal with moving
inks around if you get a "bad channel" 4900 -- that's both the cart and the profiles.
If I was looking for an old printer I'd be just getting another 3800 or 3880, then
you are dealing with a known entity. The new Epson that basically replaces it
is the P800. QTR driver supports this printer but I don't know about carts. Profiles
ought to be the same.
