My R2880 bit the dust, and now I'm looking for its replacement. I don't print large, a 13"-wide printer will do, and I print 75% B&W on Moab Juniper paper, 25% colour on Moab Estrada.
I'm not really up on the latest printers, or even recent printers (is the R3000 worth a look at $400 USD?)

I have the chance to get a local Epson 4880 for a good price, but I'm afraid it's too big, and overkill for what I need.
Still, it's a good printer and I may have to buy it if I can't find anything else in my price range (~$350 USD).

So before making a decision, I'd like to ask the commentariat for some suggestions:
Can you recommend a decent, affordable printer that uses 3 black inks and is of a relatively small desktop size?
It would be nice to have a printer that could use both Matte Black and Photo Black inks, thus saving me lots of time and, um, ink.
I know that would be a little more expensive, but I'd still want to hear about it, in case I decide to splurge.

Thank you in advance.
