I have owned the Epson 3800 for several years, I actually was on a waiting list when they first came out...I have used it some but was never happy with the gloss differential and mainly used it just for 13x19 posters.
A couple of weeks ago the print head clogged and I have spent several hundred dollars buying ink carts and doing all the suggestions on the internet to get it unclogged and nothing worked. I called Epson and it is out of warranty of corse and they gave me a phone number to a company here in Colorado to take it in and get repaired, well they want $200.00 to even look at it and said if it was the print head that would be another $300.00 and plus print carts which all are almost all out again, so tack on another $350.00 and I\'m looking at around $800.00 to $900.00 to get it fixed!!!
So Sunday I was at OfficeMax and seen the Epson 1400 sitting there on sale for $199.99 and I had a coupon for $15.00 so I said what the heck I\'ll try it. Well I\'m very surprised with this guy, I have printed a bunch of 4x6, 5x7 and even several 13x19 posters and I think they look a lot better then the 3800 ever did and for $185.00 I think it was a heck of a deal,
I know time will tell but right now I\'m very happy with the 1400 and the 3800 is in the closet for now...anyone want to buy a 3800 cheep ;^)
