I'm quite happy with the R2400. Colour prints are great, but BW is where it really shines is why I got it. I would have loved the R4800 but there was no way I could justify the cost. If I ever need larger than A3, I'll go to one of the local labs. A full set of inks is relatively expensive

If you're using Epson papers and their profiles with the R1800 and R2400, you rarely need to profile the printer. You need to calibrate your monitor and adopt a color managed workflow. some folks have gotten good results with the Huey. I tend to prefer the Eye One Display 2 ... the software

If you can live with A4 prints, get whatever Epson R200 series printer that is the current model. It will equal the R800 and R1800 for output, although you're giving up the print longevity (30 years instead of 90+). And they're relatively cheap to run. I'm quite fond of the Epson Premium
