John. Check craigslist in your area. I saw a used 4000 that was barely used for around 500.00.

A 1400 here, the 3000 is in the garage doing nothing after it just screwed up. I wish I knew which printer prints as big as the 3000 with no hassles that I get from my 1400.....

The printers are cheap.. it's the RIP, ink and media that kills it. 500 for the printer, 1500 for the consumables.

I don't need the 17" width right now and the r1800 is more than capable of producing fine detailed films.

4800 with an 1800 as backup, accurip.  This has served us very well but I can't wait to move into the DTS realm.
