Thread: Epson 3880 feedback and smaller prints?

I have not seen that review. I am definitely asking Santa for this printer come next month... Oh DH, did you hear me?? Kath

Thanks for the pointer - not at all an obvious thing to do, but it seems to work! Hopefully Adobe will create a new category of template to allow doing this in a more straightforward way for LR3. Ray

You can get the 3800 and get $300.00 back. As printerville.net noted, they are pretty much the same and although the results on the 3880 would allegedly be better, I believe only the VERRRY trained eye could tell any difference. The approximately $300.00 cost difference, considering I would be getting a state-of-the-art machine, I felt would be worth it. Nor are the 2880 and 1900 slouches. I opted for the 3800 line due to the economies...

The current beta is months away from a release version. From what I've read, there are still a lot of features that are not fully fleshed out. Adobe is apparently also holding back a few major new features entirely until the actual release, to keep the competition in the dark as long as possible. At least these are the rumors floating around. Dominic.Chan wrote: > > Ray Ritchie wrote: > > Thanks for the...

Hi Katherine! I purchased an Epson 3800 (not the newer 3880) in June. This was my first real attempt at home printing. I too had reservations that prints made at home could rival commercial lab prints. In short, I am very happy with the prints that I am getting. In some ways they are better than I was getting from a commercial lab. I think that is at least partially due to the fact I can now print tiff files, rather than much smaller jpg...

re: "My only complaint is that the printer does not lay down any ink where the image color matches the native color of the paper (i.e. white). Although I have gotten used to this, it still bothers me just a little. " Just adjust your "white" down a few notches. Instead of 255 I use between 220 and 250 to get ink down depending on the paper and content of the photo.

photo inkjet printing is state of the art as far as archival goes. It significantly exceeds the amount of time old school c-41 prints lasted from before the digital photography revoluion. However, that has spurred the manufacturers to get off their asses with c-41 based processes as well and both kodak and fuji current generation wet color processes finally have good archival capabilities as well. dye-sub has somewhat questionable archival...

Hi Katherine, I also have a 3800, and I don't think you'll be disappointed. It is a great printer. Here is a review from Luminous Landscapes that really gives the gist of the newer Vivid Magenta K3 inks vs. the 3800's standard K3 inks: http://www.luminous-landscape.com/reviews/printers/3880.shtml As another posted noted, depending on your subject, you may not see much difference in the colors in the shots. Now, when do we get...
