I am not sure if this is a right place to ask this question.

I have 2 printers to choose for myself [Up to A3+], so i am between Epson R2400 and Epson R3800, which one should i get?
I will print in color and B/W same percent [50/50] or even one over the other but sure i will print in both, even in sepia [which is part of B/W i think], so which printer you recommend me to get?
Oh i forgot to say i will print many times with size A4&A3, not only 4x6 or 5x7 only.

I think you should also consider the new Epson 1400 as well.

I was going to add this one, but not sure what advantages of this new printer over the previous 2.

The 3800 would be my choice. Larger format and better use of ink - you don't have to swap the matte and photo blacks. Dennis

I chose the 3800 cuz the operating costs are cheaper than a 2400.
A 4800 has even cheaper operating costs but you have to manually swap the blacks.

I was confusing between several models of Epson printers, such as: R1800, R2400, R4800, R3800, and that new R1400, i was leaning more with R2400 and R4800, but R4800 lil bit over pricy, so i decided to get R2400, but seems that R3800 is much better so i decided finlly to get it, sometimes i feel i should get R4800 and R1800 if i want to print from 4x6 to so large format 17" or 22", but i think R3800 is more than enough.
