I think the R800 is a small version of the successor to the 2200, which is
available in Japan, and I suspect will become available in North America in
spring 2005.  I've seen B/W glossy prints made from the R800 and they
looked very impressive.  At first I thought they were regular RC prints,
until I saw the edge of the overcoat that is applied to the print on top of
the ink.
