Advertisement Posted October 8, 2009 Posted October 8, 2009 Hi dpattinson, Take a look here Epson announce new 3880 printer. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
microview Posted October 8, 2009 Share #2 Posted October 8, 2009 Thanks for link. I have been contemplating r2880 but price has shot up from £499 a month or so back to (Amazon) £556. Maybe wait and see how this model turns out... srp= £995. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kalina Posted October 9, 2009 Share #4 Posted October 9, 2009 My graduate school photo class was enamored with the black and white photos I printed on my Epson R1900. I would say that the R1900 prints better black and white photos on glossy paper than it does color! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff S Posted October 9, 2009 Share #5 Posted October 9, 2009 But, would be interested in feedback from users of prior and new versions. Jeff I should have clarified...3800 versus 3880. I own the former and have been very happy with bw and color prints. Of course, the whole chain from calibration to profiles to papers to inks, etc. is critical.

Jeff Jeff, i currently own the 3800 and can say this is an excellent printer, not sure how much difference the 3880 will be compared to the 3800. I am in need of another printer and would also like to hear from anyone with experience on the 3880. KI KI Photography Blog Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No complaints...just curious about the new version in real use comparison. Jeff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMB Posted October 14, 2009 Share #8 Posted October 14, 2009 Epson Stylus Pro 3880 - Epson Professional Imaging - Epson America, Inc. Looks rather nice Agreed. What gets me mad, however, is Epson's pricing. In the US they sell the printer for a recommended retail price of USD 1,295, whereas in Europe the recommended retail price is Euro 1,665. Agreed, the European price contains about 20% VAT, which means that the net price is about Euro 1,380. However, even net of VAT you pay in Europe more Euros than you pay dollars in the US, and that at a time where you pay almost 1.50 dollars for 1 Euro. Put differently in Europe you pay a net price of about USD 2070 dollars or USD 700 more than what you pay in the US. This is a stunning 53% increase over the US price!

Have you compared European pricing versus shipping from US? I don't know about impact of exchange rates, import fees, etc, but places like B&H ship internationally...International Orders | B&H Photo Video Jeff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff S Posted October 17, 2009 Share #10 Posted October 17, 2009 From Luminous Landscape...bottom line, differences from 3800, but not compelling enough to warrant any change for me... Epson Stylus Pro 3880 Hands-On Review Jeff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
