Designed to exceed all expectations in the area of photographic image quality, the Epson Stylus Pro 3800 incorporates an all-new, 17-inch wide printer design, along with a radical new photographic screening technology and combined with the breakthrough Epson UltraChrome K3 Ink will deliver your creative vision without compromise. Even more remarkable is the latest high performance, one-inch wide print head, which incorporates a new Auto-sharing Black Ink technology allowing both Photo and Matte Black ink to be installed and switched automatically.
Capable of handling virtually any type of cut-sheet media up to 17 inches wide, the Epson Stylus Pro 3800 incorporates a high-capacity paper feeder that can accommodate sizes from 4x6 up to 17x22. Continuing to set standards in media flexibility, this printer has various ways of loading media, including a front-loading, straight-through path capable of handling media up to 1.5 mm thick and even a second, top-loading, single-sheet feeder optimized for fine art papers.

Summary: Great printer for large size paper
Comment: This has been the most reliable clearest printer I have ever owned. It is large, but it does handle 16x20 prints wonderfully. I really like the large ink cartridges, they last well. I have never had any fade out at the end of a cartridges the way I had with other printers. For heavy paper, the back feeder works quite well but is hard to get useed to.

Summary: Excellent Printer Out Of The Box
Comment: The 3800 was my first printer. Made first rate prints right out of the box with Photoshop C3. You need to play with the platen gap to prevent banding on some of the papers, i.e., premium glossy - use "wider". Front door over output tray is the cheapest thing I've ever seen on an object over $100. Couldn't Epson find any real magnets? And no USB cord. Ultimately these things don't matter and the printer is first rate right out of the box.

Summary: No problems
Comment: First, this printer is big and heavy. It needs a lot of space to work.
When pulling the printer out of the box, be sure to follow the directions and lift the printer from the sides rather than the front and back. Lifting it front and back seems like it could do some damage.
Out of the box, the little piece of metal that holds the output tray closed came off and the output cover wouldn't stay closed. I re-seated the little piece of metal (it was stuck to the magnet) on the output tray and (I'm surprised to say) it has not come back off. The tray extensions to hold the input and output DO seem a little cheesy, though. I expected a little better.
I hooked the printer up both to a desktop machine via UPS and to a network. The network hookup was fairly painless and I've had no problems with it, though I'm an IT professional. Be aware that there are upgraded drivers on the internet.
The ink charging and printing was also not a problem. So far, I've run about 20 11x17s through the printer and the ink monitor bars haven't moved. Good thing as the replacement cartridges are $50 each.
Overall, I'm a little disappointed in the vibrancy of the colors. It may be the project I have been working on, or it may be that I don't have all of the color spaces aligned. I'll have to dig deeper on that.

Summary: Epson 3800 photo printer
Comment: Couldn't have been happier with this purchase. Had read all info I could get on it, decided this was the one for me, got it through Amazon and I'm thrilled it's so easy and goof proof.

Summary: Another winner from Epson
Comment: I am a professional photographer and decided that I was tired of the horizontal banding on my 7600 whenever I did not use it for a few days always necessitating a head cleaning or two. After 6 years and 11,000+ prints I'm really not complaining about the 7600 but it was time to make a decision. After some research and discussions with dealers, I thought I'd give the 3800 the nod over the more expensive 4880 and I am happy to report that I am pleasantly pleased. With a much smaller footprint than the 7600, it gives nothing up in print quality and as a matter of fact beats the quality which really pleased and suprised me. Color matching with my monitor was perfect right out of the box another plus, no messing with profiles or rip's. Another plus was that the sheet feeding eliminates the curling you get with roll paper which was worse as you got towards the end of the roll. All these plusses and quieter operation too!
I have gone 3 days without using it so far and the first print after that had no banding! At this point after 3 weeks use and about 200 prints, I am 100% satisfied with this product.
