Looking for users reactions to the Epson R1900, especially for making digital negatives. Anyone have one they are using and would like to share opinions?

I need to upgrade my current printer to something that will use pigment inks (for UV blocking) as my current dye based printer does not give me negatives with enough density. I am not looking for a high volume or high end printer. Cost is a factor and I have looked at the posts about Epson other models - R2400, R2800, or R2880, etc. - but I would like to keep the cost below $800 and have something that would work well.

As always, thanks -
