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.

But the 3880 can't.

Savageduck
Don't be silly, of course it can. I was just saying that the R2880 was capable of doing the same.

Not a word about roll feed. See http://www.luminous-landscape.com/forum/index.php?topic=40431.0;wap2

Interesting. I made an assumption that the R3880 was basically an R2880 with a wider print tray 17'' vs 13'' and larger ink cartridges. The R2880 can handle 8.5'' & 13'' wide panoramic rolls in 20 & 32 foot rolls. Mine has all the roll fittings.

From the R2880 brochure:

Paper Sizes: 4" x 6", 5" x 7", 8" x 10", A4 (8.3" x 11.7" ), letter (8.5" x 11"), legal (8.5" x 14"), 11" x 14", 12" x 12", B (11" x 17"), A3 (11.7" x 16.5"), Super B (13" x 19"), user definable, plus 8.3" and 13" wide panoramic roll papers Maximum Paper Thickness: Up to 1.3 mm (Straight through, Manual — Front paper path) Borderless Sizes: 4" x 6", 5" x 7", 8" x 10", A4 (8.3" x 11.7"), letter (8.5" x 11"), 11" x 14", 12" x 12", B (11" x 17"), A3 (11.7" x 16.5") and Super B (13" x 19") sizes Paper Capacity: Auto sheet feeder 120 sheets (plain paper) 30 sheets (photo paper) Manual — roll 1 sheet (fine art paper) Manual front 1 sheet (poster board)
