nope, try getting a 4800 or even a good rebuilt 3000.  Those printers are KILLER.

Dan has my old RIP for the 3000, it was bar-none the best rip i used.

I have three 1400's, one 3000, one 4000, and a R1900. 

One of those is currently in use, and its the cheapest of the bunch.  I should probably get one of the nicer ones up and running one of these days. :o

I have a 1400 sitting on a shelf here if you want it. I have 2 or 3 of them. I learned a hard way to have a back up for your back up... ;)

now we use a 4800 and when that craps the bed -it's DTS.

We had a 4880 before going CTS. Lost both in a flood. Got another CTS and a 4880 for backup. Never even opened the box. Damn, I have to remember which printer in town "borrowed" the 4880.  :o

Lol I have a dead 1400, a dead 1800, a almost dead 1100, and a dead office printer. Also gave away another 1400 awhile back cause it was clogged something fierce with sublimation inks.

notice the trend? there are no dead 4800's and 4880's laying around . . .

I have 3 - 1400's, one still works, a 3000 that I haven't tried in a long time, a 4800 that the head died on, and recently picked up a 3800 for $400, works great, less than a thousand prints on it...

2 1400's (one working fine, one boxed up and ink tank reset and should work okay)
almost new 4900 I bought off someone for $1100, working great with rolls (film/banners).  We are back to film right now because our CTS is down but an I-Image ST is on the way...(amongst some other goodies).

I have one 3000 that I'm putting in storage and a 3000 that has NEVER had ink through it! I hate to even test it, for dread of putting ink through it :)
I have tons of ink carts, including black if anyone is interested. I went on a buying spree on ebay and Craigslsit for ink about 5 years ago. Even though they're expired, Sigmo says they should still be just fine.
Not sure what I'm going to do with the 3000's. I've think I've become a hoarder of sorts, for the 3000 and its inks.
50% of the time I'm 100% right.

I dropped inkjet a decade ago. I went to an techstyler. I have never been happier...
