RE: [Digital BW] Epson 2200 vs. 3800 is it worth the upgrade for a newbie?

James,

 

If you have a 2200, don't need paper wider than 13", and will be using the
printer just for B&W, keep the 2200 and save the money.  I'm getting
virtually perfect prints from my 2200. There are a number of workflows - MIS
and Piezo.  I'm currently using the one described at
http://home1.gte.net/res09aij/4K+.pdf, will be developing it further, and
will be making profiles available.

Hi everyone,

I am a newbie and want to know if it is better to get a rip program 
and new inks or get the 3800? 

People seem to say that the 2400 was much better than the 2200, so I 
figure the 3800 would even be better.

I noticed the Quad and IJC? was mentioned for programs.

Also, can I get cartridges like the OEM, since I do not print very 
much. 

I do like the wider format of 3800, but can live with 2200.

If staying with the 2200 is the best bang for the buck, than I would 
appreciate the links for the software, inks, and the set-up for now.

Thanx.

James
