a 9600, and now have an Epson 3880 sitting on my shelf, and there is
simply nothing bad I can say about it apart from the ink costs.
This has been pretty much the same experience of a friend of mine whose
last inkjet printer was an Epson 1270. She has been hemming and hawing
about buying a new inkjet printer for eons and a few weeks ago, finally
bit the bullet ordering the 3880. Her reaction to her first test prints
using Epson paper and Epson profiles was "Oh my! This is ever so much
better than I expected". I was kind and didn't say "I told you"...'-}}
I haven't yet warned her of the mac side (I'm pc based) issues with OS
upgrades and Apple/Epson's penchant for totally mucking up one's
workflow but I suspect as annoying as that is, she will deal with and
and she's still going to be significantly happier with the 3880's output
than she was with her 1270.

Two generations ago and I think more precise in 2006 several brands
introduced printers with new weaving/dithering algorithms. It is not
just Epson that made that progress. Some people at universities in the
background know exactly where that evolution step came from I guess.
The 3800/3880 is an excellent machine in today's Epson range. Probably
the best of the total range in ease of maintenance and consistency. The
technology of the 1270, the dye ink, the media, the color management and
the applications to print from, even the camera then; one would not be
satisfied with any part of that now. True, there can be a rotten apple
in the pie today too.
