Epson Stylus Photo 1400 Photo Printer Reviews
I just installed my 1st B&W replacement cartridge, with over 100 pages of music printed. The black and white dedicated cartridge allows for true black and white printing using only the B&W cartridge (there is a setting in the print controls that provides for this). The printer delivers big time on wide format, high definition printing for my uses: fine detail B&W music printing, and high gloss color CD labels. For a low volume user like me, ink cost has not turned into an issue as I find the printer to be more reasonable with the inks than previous Epsons. The inks are expensive, though the color 5 pack is under $60 at Amazon now.
I use the printer mainly to print music, which often requires larger format. I might go a month or two without printing, but this printer doesn't stop because of that. Again, no problem with clogged nozzels. Previous Epson's have gone south on me with clogged nozzles that can't be cleared, using dry inksbefore a year is even up, but this Stylus 1400, with the Claria inks, hasn't given me any trouble at all. I haven't had to waste any ink clearing the nozzees, and maybe that's the difference. Printing music requires very high definition, and this printer delivers, even fairing pretty well on plain paper or velum. I haven't even needed to clear the nozzles.
I've printed close to a hundred full color full coverage CD labels, and am still using the color ink cartridges that came with the printer. I print my CD labels on high gloss, which look terrific. On matte, the colors are not nearly so good and the red is quite off. Perhaps this could be corrected by color settings if I knew how, but I don't have the need. I've had this printer for over a year now, and it's still working great. I do not print photos, and won't recommend one way or the other on that.
The CDs on the special tray always come out looking great. I will NEVER buy another Epson.
I bought it for photos and CDs. For a couple months it produced lovely photos.
I wish I had bought a cheaper printer. Now, the ink has to be recalibrated every time, which takes about 45 mins and pounds of ink.
After calibration, it prints about 20 good-looking photos, and then they look like trash again. For that, I give this two stars.
For such an expensive printer, I expected better. I've had this printer about six months, and it has really been a let-down.
Now, comparing the two of those, in terms of print quality, I printed the same photo on both printers with the same settings in the software and I couldn't tell the difference between the two. One drawback is that my R300 had a little display and buttons to navigate through different menu options directly on this printer. The inks in this printer will last much much longer (allegedly) and it prints much larger prints (so it has a larger footprint than other photo printers). I have noticed that prints from my old Epson have faded somewhat over time. Prior to this I had a Epson Stylus Photo R300.
If you're looking for a larger format photo printer, this prints beautifully. This printer lacks that functionality and I find that I miss it.
However, this printer has much higher ink quality. All in all, this is a great printer if you need to print larger long-lasting prints.
So if you're just looking to print up to standard paper size (8.5 x 11) or smaller prints, maybe you don't need to shell out the extra money for this one.
Another plus is that this printer prints much much faster than my R300 - easily twice as fast, which is really nice. I'm using Mac OS X (Leopard) and the software is straightforward and works well.
I also love having the ability to print directly onto printable CD-Rs (though my R300 also did that). You can go for one of the less expensive Epson printers instead.
The colors are deep and clear. On b&w archive scanned photos, the richness was outstanding. Great value for being able to print 11x17 borderless prints. Works great with Photoshop Elements. The Epson Stylus Photo Printer 1400 was a breeze to set up.
But what put it over the edge was the ability to print on CDs. The inks are very nice, and true to life. I bought this to replace another 13x19 printer from Epson. After having used the printer for several projects, I can say that I am fully satisfied. The old one was doing fine, but this new one intrigued me more inks, and thus better photos, plus the ability to do borderless 13x19 was a nice bonus. CD printing is easy and effective.
