The paper loading situation DOES NOT get any better. Save yourself a lot of annoyance and aggravation. Supposedly there's a 'hole' in the R1800's gamut, where it does very poorly trying to reproduce certain colors in the green-brown spectrum. As far as getting an older printer serviced or maintained, by the time you add shipping and insurance (assuming you don't live near a service center and can carry the printer in), it's just about as cheap to buy a new printer. For whatever it tells you about Epson and their printers, the lower-end R1800, R1900, R2000, and P400 all have gloss optimizers, while the higher-up R2400, R2880, R3000, and P600 do not. Making a printer that lasts reliably for a very long time would certainly cut into their sales. But I'm pretty sure that's Epson's plan anyway.
Based on my experience, with fairly heavy useage, one cannot expect to get more than 4 or 5 years out of these printers. I got a good price on the R1900 plus a rebate and I am hoping it will last me for a few years of printing without too much aggravation.

After repeatedly cleaning the feed rollers (as well as many cleaning cycles and wasted ink for clogged heads), I finally solved my problem by purchasing an R1900.

The Epson Stylus Photo R1800 offers digital artists a wide selection of photo printing features, fast print speeds and a high level of enduring image quality up to 200 years.
It's gotten a lot of use for event photo order printing. I purchased my R1800 early in 2006 (to replace a 5-year old 2200 that died).
