A friend has a 4800 and 7800 which are both very fine printers. But I
don't know anything about the 4000. Early large format Epson printers
(I think the 4800 is in this class and maybe even the 7800) are
problematic when it comes to changing ink sets to switch from dedicated
color to dedicated B&W (multiple shades of gray vs color inks). Ink is
fed from the cartridges to the print head through long tubes which have
to be purged. The purging consumes about $200 worth of ink. I think
later model printers have eliminated the long tubes but am not sure of
that. They may now be printing directly from the cartridge as the small
printers do.
