What to get, Epson 4800, 4880, 4900?

So the consensus is that the 4800/80 family is the most recent Epson that's reliable for film output?   The 4900 looks no good to me after some basic reading on it.

Hey Shane, in Woburn, on the Boston Craigslist, right now...

It probably needs work, but $150 is pretty damn cheap.

Thanks Steve! I talked to the lady with that printer the other day. She said she "thinks it may be already spoken for". I am talking to someone else on the used market with a 4800. We'll see how that turns out.

Thanks for the info wish it was closer to Colorado.
Shane

that's funny!!! What are the odds that two Shanes are asking about the same thing at the same time?

Shanrachy is also Shane and he lives in Boston. . .

I was noticing that too, but yeah, I was talking to Shanarchy. He's south of Boston, and Woburn would maybe be a 30 to 40 mile trip; not so from Colorado...

Oh, that makes more sense.

I got a 4800 this weekend. Seems in good shape. Nozzle check and test print looked great. Here's to hoping it has a lot of years left in it. I'm exciting to switch to roll media film.

What is everyone using for ink? Refillable cartridges or is there a recommended ciss for it?

Chromaline AccuInk, skip the other stuff . . .

Absolutely. If you like endless tweaking and troubleshooting go with whatever, otherwise just pony up for the AccuInk.
