<p>Ah, I knew it would happen. My first two days on this forum and already a troll has visited me.<br>

Check Eric Chan's page on the 3800 to learn how much it costs to swap from MK to PK and back. Or calculate it yourself.</p>

<p>The 3800 does ink swapping too - even when you don't want it to. Make one mikstake with your saved print settings and you'll find the 3800 switching to MK when you want PK and vice versa. Costs about $4 every time to switch back. I've become more careful, but I still goof now and then. You don't have to physically change the cartridges, that's all. I would prefer manual switching to automatic. Or at least have the driver prompt me to be sure I really wnat to switch blacks before just doing it. But of course, Epson sells more black ink that way. ;-)</p>

<p>How do you choose a category for gallery ? I see now way to do this when you create the gallery.</p>

<p>The 2880 has/had driver problems (I returned my last one in March) and I can't say if they've been fixed. It went into a crazy automatic cleaning cycle that damned near drained every cartridge in the printer. I lost more money on ink with that thing than the machine itself cost. Thus far, no problems with the 3800.</p>

<p>I had a 2880 - three of them actually. Nothing but problems. I gave up on it and bought a 3800. I'm happy with that. The ink costs are indeed much lower. The 3800 is a professional-grade machine. The 2880 is for the casual or hobby user.</p>

<p>Shoot the job and pretend the bit...er...the MoH doesn't exist. Look through her, past her, whatever. Concentrate on the rest of the bridal party.</p>

ABW will convert any color image or color portion of an image to grayscale. When printing split-tones or images with all colors desaturated except one or two, you MUST use a color profile.</p>

<p>I would simply skip the AF and use MF when shooting wide open with this lens (I have one). AF is too inaccurate for a close-up of an object (or person) that may move ever so slightly. Use MF to keep up with it and shoot when you have a brief still moment.</p>
