Epson 3800 v's 4880

Postby W00DY on Tue Feb 05, 2008 4:37 pm

Hi All,

Following on from my "which printer to buy thread" - I have (well everyone on here did) nailed it down to Epson. Now for the next question.

The 3800 or the 4880?

I know the general differences between the two but has anyone had experience with both? Does anyone that knows a lot more about printing than I recommend either?

Plus who is going to offer their service to help me with all the questions regarding setup, paper, profiling etc... :shock:

Cheers,
:D

setup and printer profiling should be done by the selling agent if new........ but at a charge and money well spent.......

I guess it depends on where you buy it from :) But yeah I have seen this advertised at some places.

But I know me, I will still have questions :roll:

once set up by the selling agent it is easy....... same as a 1800 or 2100....... and no different to a 7600........ just pick the correct profile for the paper then the printer after you have set your paper size....... print........
