I have an 880 and love it. I've printed several 8x10's on Epson "premium glossy paper" and I am more than satisfied with the results. More so because I bought the printer as just a "basic" home office printer that happen to be color (the price was right - around US$130 about 9 months or a year ago). One thing I noticed is that anything smaller than an 8x10 loses image quality.
Tom, I was tempted to send one of my prints but ran out of ink just before and missed the deadline. If it matters, I scan my slides and negs with an old HP PhotoSmart with a SCSI interface at 2400dpi.
