epson site just dropped price to $1095 this morning.
That was before the rebate bring it down to 895. However later in the day it was gone so don't know what that was about and if our not that price will show up again?
Well I had placed my order about 4 or 5 hours earlier with Itsupplies, so I did not attempt to buy it. But many hours later, it was gone and still is gone this am. Mine was 929. Hope we both are happy as clams in a clean ocean with our individual units.
I purchased my 3880 on 12/9/2012. It works very well and has been clog-free.
However, in the first year it has been replaced under warranty twice (error 150C).
As a precaution, a month prior to its anniversary I purchased the 2 year warranty extension. Today I had my third failure (error 1127) and so Epson is sending a fourth unit.
Therefore, if you have a new 3880, I recommend getting the 2 year warranty extension (available anytime within the first year after purchase), thereby having 3 years of warranty coverage.
I should say, Epson's warranty support is excellent, with replacements sent next-day air. I just wish the printer was not so evidently prone to failure.
Ditto!
I wouldn't have anything other than a 3880; CMYK is just fine. I'm a sporadic user, so with other printers, I'd have to deal with clogging issues. I never want to go through that again, not like with the 4000. But, not so with the 3880.
One thing I miss on the 3880 is the vacuum transport that keeps the paper adhering to the platen. (The 4000 had this.) I have to be careful about rolling the edges of the paper down prior to printing, so that the edges don't strafe the bottom of the print head. Sometimes I can hear the head nick the edges in the initial stages of printing. Kind of scary.
