They're both consumer models. The pro models have inks which are more archival, such as the R2400.
The R1800 looks to be the prosumer model. Somehow a half step away from the R2400.
Yes, I definitely recommend a calibration device but I recommend the Eye-One over the Huey models.

IIRC the 1400 is a dye printer. Not as archival as the 1800. 1800 also has wider color gamut thanks to the use of red and blue inks. Gloss optimizer eliminates metameric failure, gives the best glossy color prints available.

I have an R1800 at work. I don't use it daily, it will sit for several weeks and I haven't had any issues with clogging, prints from it look great, I use iProof''s PowerRIPX with it.

hopefully not a lot of prints, ink costs will kill you
i have an 1800 as well, bought it nearly 2 years ago and i have only run a few sets of carts and it -- just doesnt do that many prints before the ink runs out
$349 seems pretty cheap, paid $549 for mine

Should I just get the 1400 at outpost.com then, for $50 more than the Epson refurb store?
Also, any good deals on the Eye-One? Looks like $249 vs. $120 for the Huey Pro.

I got my Eye-One on ebay for about $100.
