The R1800 has been superceded by the R1900 and R28800. Like Leon said they're not cheap, expect to pay over $1000. To get the best results you also need something to calibrate your monitor.
+1. Epson for absolute quality imho. The R1900 is quite nice, and so is the R2880 too, I was considering something even larger myself (taking sheet rolls) but since I've lost interest in photography, I can't justify the cost now.
