Frank,
Printer ink is more expensive than high-end perfume per unit! From
what I read, the additional ink that you get preloaded  with a new
3800 goes a long way in narrowing the price differential between that
printer and its smaller bretheren. The 3800 also has the big advantage
that you have both Photo and Matte Black installed, so you waste less
ink in every time you change a black cartridge, in line purging.
Cheers
Jayanand
