Anyone have a handle on the Epson R800 print cost?

No. And manufacturers rarely try to quote you a figure. I once tried to calculate this on my Epson R200. Kept track of every photo I printed (i.e. color or black text, and what size). Noted when I swapped out cartridges. Then once I had gone through two complete sets I tried to judge how many photos per cartridge set. It was not easy to calculate because you run out of different colors at different rates. Best guess I could surmise was close to a buck per letter-sheet for color glossy photos just in ink. Then nearly a buck for good paper. Was running about $1.50 - $2.00 for each 8x10.

Cost over twice as much to print at home vs lab prices.

Which makes perfect sense to me.

Im thinking of buying one ...is this still top dog in the 'few hundred buck' home priner world ?
Might want to look at the R1800 for the ability to print on larger media with the same technology.
