My Z3100 works great and I didn't spend that much to make it work. 
Sorry to hear that. 
But let me tell you something, many people just don't like making negs for 
silver. 
Maybe that is a wrong choice to experiment with the making of digital 
negatives. 
I hope you can get some fun one way or the other but $ 1,000 in four months 
sound too much for me, not fun at all. 

There's a lot of Epson printers you can play with out there. I hope you can 
find one that fits your tastes.
