1) I need a good magnifying glass to see the lines on R800 prints.
2) The more interesting question to me is gamut.
Have you tried this?:

There are targets to download which have all colors, including
intense blue and red. Try that. I would be interested to learn if
the Designjet 130 or Epson 4000 can match the R800 blue and red
intensity. If so, I would buy either one to print large. But I think
there is a mathematical limit to generate blue and red from CMYK,
which always results in blue+black or red+black, instead of pure
blue or pure red. Even though, strangely enough, the R800 blue in a
auto nozzle check looks purple and the red looks pink, the resulting
prints can totally match the above mentioned targets. No difference
screen to print!
I will go to the PMA in Orlando this month, and I will bring these
targets on a CD. Let' see if any large format printer can do what my
R800 does and they got a new customer.
