[alt-photo] Re: Recommendations for Replacement Printer? InputNeeded!

The 3880 can be used successfully for pt/pd if you do as Mark suggests and increase the ink density or dive in and use the QTR approach and force the printer to lay down enough ink. I have successfully calibrated a handful of 3880s for workshops using QTR. and gotten density ranges exceeding 3.0. The ink profile is quite a bit different than the 3800... Short answer is that it works.  But it is not as easy to get to that point as it was with the 3800.
