[Leica] Epson 2880 Printer favor......

[mark at rabinergroup.com (Mark Rabiner)]

I'd tell you to get the newer 2800 its a 13 inch and few need 17 inch and I
don't and I had a darkroom set up for 20x24's.
But if its carts only hold 11ml as what seems  to be turning up then
forgetaboutit. Little carts like that make you not want to print. You're
paying too much for pigments.


The 3800's use a 80ml and cost 50 bucks.
Its a prety good deal for ink.
But you need 50 bucks.
But not that often.
