Many a fine art print has been made with the 2880 and 3880. IMO the 4880 is designed for higher output. I may have been told wrong, but i thought the 4880 produced prints that were equal in quality to the other two, but was designed for higher production rates, and larger format.

... and roll feed.

The R2880 can deal with 13'' x 32' & 13'' x 20' rolls supplied by Epson, Red River Paper, or Moab.

The 2880 is 13", the 3880 and 4880 are 17". The 4880 is apparently discontinued in favor of the 4900.

The 4880 takes 220ml inks vs 80 for the 3880, is designed to take 132 foot rolls, and has a cutter. It also according to the specs typically prints twice as fast.

While the 3880 can be made to print on rolls the lack of a cutter makes it marginal for production use with roll-feed paper.

I wasn't aware of that. How is it done?

If you want to use big rolls you need to cobble up or purchase an accessory to hold the roll. Epson specifies its use for short panoramic rolls, rather than for 132 foot bulk rolls.

Other than that, here's some discusion: <http://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/37852281>
