I've decided that when it dies I'm going to get a 3800. The R800 has been great. It's been extremely economical -- when I bought it I also bought bulk ink from MIS and refillable carts -- and remarkably trouble free. But at times I wish that I could print larger. I've had such bad luck with printers over the years (the R800 and 3000 were exceptions) that I'm very careful when buying a printer. Everything I've read and seen points to the 3800 as the way to go.

Now it tells me that some parts "have reached the end of their service life." Not specific. Epson website seems to show no more "R" printers in 8.5"wide, like the R800. So what would you suggest: the R1900, R2880, ? Brian's problems with his 3800(s) rather scare me, though others have apparently had no probs.
