Unfortunately I am booked all day tomorrow, but I am available all day on Monday. Any time better for you? Are we setting this up on your laptop or the 5th floor iMac? Or both?

I agree on P600 if we look within the Epson range. There were also a few recommendations for Canon printers along with Epson on the web, do you know how would they compare? Thank you!

Photo printers basically have two defining characteristics: • The # of inks - this defines the range of colors they can produce & has the biggest impact on the quality of prints • The maximum size of the prints Most low-end photo printers can print up to 8.5-inch wide. These printers are generally crap (poor print quality, expensive inks, break really easily) and not something that I'd ever recommend to anyone. Printers that can print larger than 11-inch wide are considered "Large Format", these generally have the best print quality. Here is Epson's current Large Format line-up: https://epson.corn/wide-format-printers-comparison They're all pretty much the same physical size as the 3800. The Artisan 1430 Inkjet Printer is really cheap ($300), and likely to not print quite as well as the 3800. The P400 ($700) is probably the closest match to the 3800, while the P600 ($800) & P800 ($1300) will have significantly BETTER print quality than the 3800 had. Of all of them, I'd recommend the P600. Epson controls the pricing on the printers, so ordering from AI Friedman will be the same as ordering from B&H. AIF says they're in stock in their warehouse, so we should expect delivery within a couple days.

I can not say what would be the largest size, somewhere within the size range of the current 3800 is fine, so that I don't have to use the large printer for this type of photographs. Thank you!

What is the largest size you normally print on the 3800?

Karyna On Oct 20, 2017, at 10:58 AM, fames I personal genius wrote: Hi Karyna, As I feared, the repair costs are likely to be more than the printer is worth. The Epson 3800 was —$1000 when it was discontinued in 2011, and its replacement (the 3880) was just replaced itself. It looks like Epson has its SureColor P400 ($600) & P600 ($800) in its place now. The company Ron references, Al Friedman (they're down in Chelsea/ West 20s), is one I've worked with a lot in the past & they've always given me great advice. If you'd like me to reach out to Lenny ), I'd be happy to see what he recommends. EFTA00569352 Otherwise, Adorama & B&H both will have these "Epson Professional Imaging Wide Format" printers locally. Sony I don't have better news. James When a 3800 starts dropping in on the page it is usually the result of the ink selector failing. This is an expensive repair costing $349 plus tax.. My suggestion is to tell the customer to replace the unit with a new Epson printer, model based on their requirements. A.I. Friedman sell the full line of Epson professional grade units. Lenny Weiland is a salesman there that I work closely with. He can certainly fit them with the correct machine. Please keep me in mind for any future Epson repair needs that your customers may have.
