 Great printer for large size paper November 19, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
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.
Excellent Printer Out Of The Box November 16, 2008

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.

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.

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.

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.
