Resist next time... -On the other hand, don't take Douglas' rant too hard...since he has about as much credibility around here as Milli Vanilli has for vocals. LOLOL Agreed (about resisting next time). I've further revised the head to head to spell out just why and what I was interested in. There is an interesting side to this, and I'll do a followup piece on it. And that is that I often see people on a couple of other lists I am on debating whether they can get away with a printer like the 3800 (or even 2800) or whether they need to go to something like the 7800 or Z3100. Now of course there is really no comparison between the two: the paper handling options, width, ink capacity and likely longevity and ease of service make a Z3100 far superior. But in terms of print quality they can be VERY close, so it depends on what people are looking for. 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. -- Images (Plus Snaps & Grabs) by MarkČ at: www.pbase.com/markuson |
