Not a bad printer July 22, 2007

While a bit on the big side because of its large format printing, it is a very nice printer. The quality of printing is excellent with its Claria inks. Text printing is speedy for an inkjet while photo print speed is actually quite reasonable considering its size. Price is less expensive than some of the other comparable printers but inks are very pricy in my opinion (each cartridge is $20). This is where Epson really makes its money. Everyone knows that when you buy a printer, you are buying the inks and getting a free printer for the most part. A set of inks for this printer cost $120 retail... yow.... at least they give you the 079 ink cartridges which is the big brother to the 078... same size, just more ink in them. Now I know why generic cartridge manufacturers are so popular with the Epson crowd.
Epson Stylus 1400/Epson Customer Service Apathy October 10, 2007

We purchased this printer for immediate use on an important report. We had it shipped overnight and when it arrived we, after setting it up, discovered that one of the new ink cartridges was defective. After talking to a barely intelligible customer service rep he agreed to send us a replacement cartridge. I informed him that we really needed this part expedited. He assured me that it would be shipped FedEx. It was; FedEx GROUND. It took over a week. We couldn't wait so we bought one at Amazon.
Indifference reigns at Epson!
Great Prints but Lotsa Ink July 7, 2008

My old Epson Stylus Photo 200 died just when I needed to print flyers for the sale of our home. I ordered the 1400 direct from Epson because I needed a printer fast and it was cheaper than most new Epson printers.
Epson shipped the same day, but 2 day shipping instead of overnight, which I paid for. They quickly credited me with the entire shipping cost when I complained, so shipping was free.
Pros:
Setup was easy, right out of the box, on my Windows XP system. Print quality was excellent on the 8x10 test print of a photo of Monument Valley. My flyers are beautiful.
Ink easy and fast to get. Best price from Epson: buy 3 and get free overnight shipping. I was actually surprised to find, when I searched the Internet, that Epson has the cheapest prices, by quite a lot, on their ink. They ship the same day, if the order is in before 1:00 PM Pacific time.
Cons:
Ink use, especially LM, LC, and Y. Ink cartridges are smaller than R300.
(When printer didn't come overnight I went to WalMart and bought a HP D1520 for $36. I use it for all routine printing, and reserve the Photo 1400 for quality color)
Ink Use Tip: I noticed that the printer seemed to do a recharge cycle whenever I turn it on. So I have tried to leave the printer on all the time. I am not sure about this, but it seems to use less ink this way. I just print a nozzle check every few days if I have not used the printer.
Size: Its big, but I think any wide format printer is going to necessarily be big.
USB 2 Cable not supplied:
I went to Radio Shack and bought one, no problem, and of course found two more in a drawer after I bought a new one.
Summary:
All in all, I am satisfied. I will try to update this review after more extensive usage. The ink usage is expensive, but we are at the mercy of the manufacturer and if you want and need hight quality color you will have to pay the price in ink and paper. My advice, based on sad experience, is use Epson inks, not compatibles, and Epson paper when you need the highest quality.
Experiment with the driver settings, based on your own needs. Print only the quality you need. Use the black ink only/grayscale only setting, if printing text,etc only as in letters, etc.

I like this printer because you can print on paper up to 13" by 19". You can buy refills for each color which saves money. Very good color. Best price at Amazon that I found.

I also just purchased this printer for 12 x 12 scrapbooking. For over 12 years, I have had nothing but HP Printers. Since there was not another wide-format printer that had the individual ink cartridges close to this price, I went for the Epson. It produces stunning results - I am using matte and glossy and both are outstanding. I am sticking with my HP for every day use and 4 x 6 prints, but you cannot beat the quality of prints from the Epson 1400.
