rgans Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 <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>RON</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digitaldog Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 <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> Author “Color Management for Photographers" & "Photoshop CC Color Management" (pluralsight.com) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Laur Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 <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> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richardsnow Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 <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>RS</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monika_epsefass Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 <p>Another vote for the 3880 here. :-)</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
