Epson Stylus Photo Printer
on January 3, 2012
Posted by: tman
from Westfield, New Jersey
I choose Epson products to use for my photography. This printer nails every little detail in my photographs including the colors. I really like the individual color ink cartridges as you only have to replace the colors that are low.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Epson 1400 Wide Format is an Impressive Printer
on January 11, 2012

This is the first Epson printer that I have bought in a long time. In the past the Epson printers left me unhappy with the print quility. However, this printer is excellent. I was a pro photographer for many years and have now become a semi- pro photographer doing my own lab work. This printer satisfies my need for wide format and color quality for my clients. It is much quieter than most other brands of wide format printers and is a delight to use.

Nice printer - the 1400

I like this printer very much. It's definitely designed for the task at hand. I'm a pro photographer and needed to be able to print proofs and final products for quick response to some customers. This printer seems to be a good solution.
One recommendation is to ensure that the printer is calibrated to the computer and software being used so that the colors are equivalent among all devices.
I have yet to get it to print exactly what I see in terms of color. I'm looking forward to getting some advise (from Epson) on the best drivers to use in my case.
As in all these printers, consumables do go fast when you print at max quality and print a lot, the good news is that prints are crisp. This cost is something that non pros should account for as a recurring cost. They are not cheap!
On thing. I do find myself increasing the midtones in the pics in order to get those details to appear on the prints. In other words, I always get a slightly darker pict on the printer (some midtones lost) which I hope will be resolved with the appropriate driver..
In the end I'm happy with the purchase.

THRILLED!

I've had this printer for over 6 months and am REALLY pleased with it. I use it to print 12" digital scrapbook pages directly from Paint Shop Pro X2 with no problem. Can print borderless or with a small white border. Borderless may cut off a tiny edge of your page - but nothing huge. Quality on the Epson Premium Art paper is MUCH better than printing on white cardstock/white scrapbook paper (I've tried!). I'd recommend this to any digital scrapper - it's a super value! :)

Highly Recommend for Quality Photos
on December 2, 2008

from Ocala, Fl
As a former professional photographer, I am very concerned with the quality of prints I produce even for personal use. I have had a number of larger format printers before but none can produce the quality of print that this printer produces.
One of my standard tests is a series of photos, all under 1 megabyte in file size, printed at the largest printer capability. I did not expect much at 13 x 19 inch size, but the prints were suprisingly sharp. The photo enhancement software really works and the quality amazed me.
The printer was easy to set up and worked flawlessly from the moment it was available. I have printed with it from Vista and Windows XP without a problem. The only concern I have is on the ink capacity, but that is ALWAYS a problem with ink jet printers.
All in all I would recommend this for anyone wishing to make large prints from their images. It does most of the work for you, BUT use the print set up for a print preview, not your software, as most software does not really support this size printer.
The price is good, so there is no excuse for not buying one of these units while they are available.

Better than the competitor
on July 9, 2009
Posted by: DnMichael
from Baltimore MD
Three years ago I purchased a similar printer from a competitor and within a year it died on me. The company had stopped supporting the product.
I still needed a printer to print posters and so I considered the Epson and I am extremely happy that I did. Not only is this printer faster, but I am very happy with the quality of the print. I had no problem installing the equipment and during the last few days I have been making CDs and DVDs often and they really do look professional.
I am looking forward to using the printer at the Russian Festival to make our signs and posters. Perhaps I will also make some 11x17 prints from past Festivals so that our customers can see how good this printer is.

My R280 Epson printer just died so I bought an Epson 1400 and so far I'm not happy with the quality of the pictures I get. Color is off and not as sharp as the 280.....Will work on getting it better but so far I'm disappointed and would not recommend it if your looking for quality pictures..
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I have used this printer for almost two years now and the quality of prints is the best I hve ever had. The one big draw back to this printer is the outrageous cost of ink. If it wasnt for the fact that I do custom work I would never use this printer as you can go and get prints done for less money than the cost of ink to print them. Epson needs to reduce their ink costs or they are going to find themselves with less and less business. Now my printer wont feed paper any more. Only made about 1,000 4 x 6 prints on it. Going to see what the cost of repair will be.
