I use this moderately-priced printer to print my black-and-white photographs using special carbon-based pigment inks I've mixed myself. Not only does it produce very impressive fine-art prints, but the heads have not clogged up and needed cleaning so far after many months of use! I hope this printer never fails me, but if it should and need replacement (which I don't anticipate happening) I just hope Epson keeps it in production.
I have owned Epson products for over 15 yeqrs and have always enjoyed the quality of the print processing these units provided. The Epson Stylus Photo 1400 out preforms all of the previous models and all of its competitors hands down. The resolution and color quality of my prints are truly outstanding.
Great wide format printer for amatuer photo buff. have had a little trouble getting b/w prints to come out as shown on the monitor. But otherwise, super. Must use Epson inks and paper for best performance.
This is my third Epson printer . . . each one has given me excellent non-stop service. The only reason to upgrade has been to avail myself of the latest and greatest printing technology. This latest purchase of the Photo 1400 came after a trip to Ireland returning with 1800 digital photos. Yeah, I know! I ordered online through Epson sales, the printer came within days and I've been printing sparkling, clear, sharp photos that delight me ever since.
I replaced my Epson Photo R-300 with this Epson Stylus Photo 1400 about a month ago. I am very impressed with the speed and versitility of this product. The printed products and photos, especially, are of the best quality. I will reccomend this printer to all my friends and family.Thank you Epson for making it possible to own such a fine printer.
1400 replaced my 1280. Shipment and setup for the 1400 was fine. Color is beautiful, pretty much what I need for my greeting cards and art prints. Speed is fine too. Overall a successful purchase. But I do wish Epson would find a way to give us inks that last a LOT longer. After 120-130 letter-sized pages, they have to be replaced. The inks are NOT cheap.
