safely upstairs, lots of green tape
Not exactly a ballet but the printer made it into the attic in one piece, wahoo! (many thanks to Aaron from up the road for his help)
30/05: I've been busted by my wife for not thanking her for her help in getting the printer up the ladder. So - thank you boss! :p
There's a lot of green tape to track down, maybe 30 strips and pieces of foam here and there. The printer is really well packed. I've gone over it several times to make sure I've removed all the bits and pieces of packaging.
It's a case of RTFM for me with a gadget on this scale, not the time to rush into things - being sure to remove the carriage fixing board and unlock the print head before going any further.
Probably nothing new to 4000 owners but the build quality is impressive, really stands out - this is really well made piece of equipment. Time to charge the inks and install the driver.
ps. Apologies for the image quality, just quicksnaps with my kids 2mp coolpix.

Thanks for posting this blog. I'm seriously considering buying the printer -- to the point that in rearranging my office last week, I set out space just for the 4800.
But I'm curious about the dimensions of the base of the printer itself -- not the space that the input tray takes in the back or the space the output tray takes in the front. I can deal with those by moving the printer into the room when I print.
But I'm thinking about the furniture I'll be putting it on. How wide is the base of the printer that rests on the furniture? How deep is it? I would be in your debt if you could measure and share those numbers.

Whoops -- I filled in the form with my info but I didn't select the right radio button. Now I did.

I had the same concerns and asked a mate to measure his 4000 and the feet were 400m apart (in depth) so it looks like I'm OK with my 450mm bench. I didn't ask for width. I'm expecting my 4800 on Monday (in town according to the courier's database) so I'll know soon enough.

I'm sorry I missed this post - someone asked this exact question elsewhere and I posted an answer. The four feet the 4800 printer sits on are approx 340mm (depth) x 500mm (width)
