Re: [Digital BW] Re: from a 7800 to 3880?

2015-07-08 by David Whistance

No it doesn’t have vacuum feed. I’ve always thought of the 3800/3880 as essentially a larger desktop printer as opposed to the professional models which start properly with the 4xxx series. As a result I’ve always found the paper feed on my two 3800’s very fussy compared with the 9800’s, 7880’s or 4800’s I also have. Still produces nice prints though, just very frustrating at times when the larger models aren’t.

I see the benefit of the 38xx series as being the bigger cartridges compared with the other desktop machines although if you are refilling with B&W inks that isn’t really worthwhile. They also give you a larger print size in a smaller unit - the 4xxx series are really much bigger.
