Default Epson 3800 and HP Z3100 printer reviews

I think the more ligical alternative to the 3800 is the 4800. It can use
110ml and/or 220ml ink carts, and is built to true industrial standards.

But of course the prints look very similar. -The 7800 adds ONLY width
capacity over the 4800, and shouldn't be expected to deliver better prints
at the same size.

In fact I have a theory that within a printer range with consistent head
design, the highest print quality may be with the smaller printer,
assuming other things remain the same, like print head resolution, etc,
because you would expect they could make a printer more accurate when
the moving parts cover less distance. I'll setup a test and see.

Cheers,

Wayne
