| If you do B&W work you will love this printer. I moved up from a 2200 to a 3800 a while back, primarily for the B&W capabilities. The B&W prints from the 3800 are stunning; your printer has the same inkset (except for the magenta) and I believe has the ABW settings in the driver, so you should get great results. Nothing wrong with the color output either.
These printers (plus better conversion technques for B&W) are so good that you'll start going back to redo pictures that you shot in the past and couldn't get to print quite right. The only issue is the cost of ink and paper, so once the novelty wears off, you have to start thinking smartly when you work. I have found that the best place to buy Epson ink and paper is Atlex; prices are very good, shipping is fairly priced and service is excellent. Have fun! |
