Best Pro Printer

[rgans]

<p>I've been using an Epson 3800 for a couple of years. It's not bad at all, but now the print head is damaged and it is in the repair shop. The bill could be up to $450 or so, depending on the actual problem. So, I was thinking, years have passed, what's good on the market.<br>

How does Pixma (Canon) stand up to the Epson 3880? Or HP's? Or...?<br>

I do large format and digital photography; my prints are generally up to 16x20, mostly B&W but also color on occasion.</p>

<p>The 3880 is great, I upgraded from a 3800, I’m happy. I have a Canon iPF6300, also a very nice capable printer. The Advanced B&W in the Epson’s are great since you mention B&W. </p>

<p>Indeed, the 3880 is a delightful piece of gear. And you should be able to adapt to it very gracefully, given what you've been using.</p>

<p>Thanks. This is sort of what I was hoping to hear.<br>

<p>My local shop uses the 3880 and I love the results. I don't have one yet, but if I continue to print 16x20 then I'll likely get one soon.</p>

<p>Another vote for the 3880 here. :-)</p>
