I've plugged morco on this site several times. I buy ink for my 3800 from inkmasters.co.uk, who are pretty competitive. It doesn't appear on their site, though: I have to telephone. I imagine the 3880 will be the same.

Red River Paper for me. They are in the US, but with the low low USD exchange rate importing paper at their prices becomes very attractive. And their customer service is top notch.

yes I have send an Email to them and they have answered at once , but they have no resellers in Europe actually, they said they are working on it

how is the quality compared to Ilford or Hahenmule ?

I agree about the exchange rate, but last time I checked, the shipping costs to Europe were prohibitive... And buying in volume doesn't seem to help, alas.

Paper is heavy and not really compact. I tried different companies like USPS, EMS, UPS, Fedex etc and I found that shipping charges are always very expensive and almost always negate savings on paper prices.

and if you order in US you don't get the price without VAT;  actually the best prices for Europe are in UK
