Because of the layout of my workroom, that extra space taken up wouldn't have been usable for anything else anyway. It's the same size stand I'd use for a 3880, the 4880 just spills over the edges of it more on all 4 sides. I don't have a lot of space either and have the big printer set up on a small rolling stand in my workroom.

Personally, when I had to make this decision some years back, I went with the 4880 to get the roll support and better ink economics. I've seen some anecdotal statements that the 4900 with its newer head and 11-ink design might be a bit more frugal on ink consumption compared to the 3880 with its older head and 9-ink design. It also doesn't account for different amounts of ink laydown needed to print the same size print on the different printers. This doesn't include paper costs which as I said might be cheaper with roll media. After 3 x 200ml ink loads, the 4900 gets cheaper to run than the 3880.

When you hit ink re-loads at the equivalent of 3 full sets of 200ml carts on the 4900 (7.5 full sets of 80ml on the 3880), both printers will have cost the same amount. I used current prices and current Epson mail-in rebates, as advertised at. I just ran some numbers on cost of base printer, initial ink load, and the equivalent costs of ink refills based on 80ml carts for the 3880 and 200ml carts for the 4900. My 4880 is fairly cheap to run because of the much better economics of ink in its larger 220ml cartridges, and also roll paper that's cheaper (and more flexible in layout with potentially less waste) per square meter compared to cut sheet. But I will note that price is not really a significant difference between the 3xxx and 4xxx series, especially if considered over a reasonable operation time. a 3880 perhaps is a bigger deal breaker for you. If you really don't want the larger 4900, then how many pano's do you print? Is it something you can job out to a printing provider and keep the 17" and smaller cut sheet work in house? Or conversely, how many prints over 13" wide will you print, and likewise could you job them out and just keep 13" cut sheet & roll printing in house?

Or go to the 17" 3xxx series and give up roll printing. Keep the roll support and stick to a smaller format 13" printer or jump up to the much larger 17" 4xxx series. I suppose I'll just keep hoping that Epson will include this feature next time around. What I would hope is NOT the case would be Epson's considering that the professionals just wouldn't want to be bothered with printing large panoramas on their own - another illogical rumination I suppose. My only guess as to why they don't include this is that there might be a problem supplying roll paper in 17" widths? That just doesn't seem logical to me so I'm really at a loss. I now own an R1900 which is servicable but the ink cartridges are too small - IMHO - and it clogs up too often and wastes ink in the head cleaning process.- albeit far less now that I've moved from southern California to Oregon. I very much want to have the ability to print 13" (or, in the case of the 3800 series - 17") wide by at least 60".

I'm no longer in a position to upgrade very often (retired with small fixed income) but I'd consider spending some of my savings were Epson to include this capability on the next iteration of their 3800 series printers. I've asked this question before and, to my mind, have not gotten a reasonably satisfactory explanation as to why Epson would not include roll paper capability on their 17" wide series printers.
