[Digital BW] Re: Epson 3800 advice?

2006-11-13 by Diane Fields

DAvid, could you elaborate on this??  What paper in particular--
sounds as though you mean a luster paper since you mention bronzing, 
but I usually mean a matte when I say fine art paper.  Whichever--it 
will def. take some getting used to. 

 I have a 3800 on order from inkjetart with a deposit so hope they 
start shipping soon--they have in Europe.  I'm upgrading from a 2200 
and my one concern was about printing length.  I since know that the 
3800 will print to 37.4" but it means cutting paper to get 16 x 24 
prints from it.  I plan to start a thread asking how others would 
deal with this---since it does not have a roll paper option and I 
never used my roll/cutter with the 2200).

Diane
