I live in a caravan so space is a premium issue.
The vast majority of my printing will be A3 (these images will be displayed on the doors of the overhead cabinets), and some A2 for our one empty wall and for friends.
The 3880 is bigger and heavier (not that much bigger but certainly a lot heavier!).
The 3880 has much larger cartridges which could be an issue because I will not be printing on a regular basis. Storage life of the ink in the cartridges in the printer and printer head cleaning are serious considerations.
Some of the reviews I have looked at indicate that the 3880 is actually less expensive because the initial purchase of the 3880 with the ink included is less than the 2880 + buying the ink. I haven't been able to find what is actually in the box for each of the units.
All thoughts are greatly appreciated!!
