I'd say that for being able to evaluate your colors better for printing on
your Epson 3880, you'd want a wide gamut monitor (with Adobe RGB), even
though that might occasionally create some artifacts with some products,
as I mentioned. Basically, it comes to the fact that using a wide-gamut
monitor you could see some colors that you can print but couldn't see on a
"standard"-gamut (SRGB) monitor. This is because for many typical papers
the gamut is shifted from SRGB gamut (it can be somewhat larger than SRGB,
or smaller, but it is "shifted", i.e. they don't overlap), while Adobe
RGB seems to cover most of the paper gamuts (and then some more).
I might be wrong in some small detail in this description, but that's my
"big picture".
The "con-" of Adobe RGB is that some programs don't respect it. But you
can work around those problems if you are really forced, - and in the
worst case scenario can switch to the "SRGB" in the monitor, and calibrate
and use it in that mode.

I am sure there is a difference between professional grade and consumer
monitors... but I'm not sure what I really need. I'm not trying to do
professional work these days and really just want something that will give
me the cleanest path to good prints off my Epson 3880.
