Digital BW, The Print

The reason I am abandoning my 7800 is because Epson makes it impossible to  
repair old printers.  Parts are not available. The certified  person  who 
used to come to my studio no longer makes "house calls" because he can't get  
parts. Epson will send a person for a charge of $100 transportation plus  
$175 an hour, and a possible cost of $400 for a part. - if it's available. 
 
The nearest certified repair place ( 60 miles away) is not eager for  me to 
shlep the printer to them. 
 
 If Paul Roark OK's the 3880 as good for B&W matte prints., I  believe it!  
However, it seems that 3880 has been discontinued for the  new P800, and I 
wonder if I will have the same problem getting parts that I have  with the 
7800.
 
If anyone can use my 7800  for parts, come and get it. I also have  some K3 
220 ml carts and HPR and EEM roll paper.
