I got the r1800 when I was doing graphic design and its awesome. You'll need a wide format printer if you want to print larger than 8.5 X 11. The r1800 goes up to 13 inches wide and if you use a roll it can go to any length. I think the one below it is the 1280 (not sure of the exact number) but that one is a couple years old and pretty dated. The cost is $400 and up I bought mine off the epson site and it was refurbished. If you want to use it for printing other things you have to buy the epson paper or it will look like crap. It's a great printer and I've got some amazing prints from it.
