I bought the Epson 4000 when it first came out. I love the output. I really love the output on matt papers and water color papers. However I'm a weekend warrior when it comes to printing and I have found that the 4000 is notorious for clogging. If I don't print for even a couple of days I have to go throough a rather expensive and time consuming cleaning cycle. I now want to sell the printer and buy a new one. I like the fact that I can produce 16x20's on this printer and I even have Image Print for this printer so I'm considering the 4800, but I'm now leary of Epson Printers. Does the 4800 suffer from the same level of clogging issues as the 4000? What are your recomendations?

If you like the size, can i ask if you have considered a 3800. While it does not have roll feed paper, it is newer, and smaller then the 4800, did i mention cheaper too. If you look at inkejtart.com they have a comparison of dot size between the 4800 and the 3800. Just throwing it out there.
