Default Epson printers - 2400 vs. 4800 ??

Please let me clarify: I am a serious amateur (Nikon D2X for digital and
Canham 5x7 large format for film), but by NO means am I a working commercial
pro. I want to be able to print _professional quality_ prints that I can
market sell but the volume of prints I might sell will NOT be large (as much
as I'd like it to be otherwise... s)

I just wanted to add this because it sounds like the 4800 is more geared
(rugged build, higher cost of ink cartridges) towards a higher production
volume environment than mine???

I ordered the Epson R1800, which seems more geared
toward glossy papers. Plus, it's a couple hundred $$
cheaper than the 2400.

I expect with either one I'll be paying a small fortune
for inks. C'est la vie. For the $1000 I've saved I can
buy a lot of ink, or get a lot of LightJet prints made.
