Epson R3000 vs Pro 3880 - IQ and opinions (long)

I bought the CM Photo because I was creating my own profiles. Specifically, I needed one for Costco/Kirkland Glossy paper that I use as a commodity paper for 4 by 6's and such things for giveaways and the like.

I use primarily RR papers. The profiles that I've created seem a "touch" closer than theirs but it's hardly noticeable. However, when I tried profile their Polar Metallic, the CM's profile was not very accurate. I used RR's and it's great.

As you know, Apple monitors are notoriously bright. Hopefully you can get the luminance down to an appropriate level. I calibrate my main monitor every two weeks and my secondary monitor every 4 weeks. (Secondary monitor is primarily for web surfing and holding Photoshop tools and the like.
