Great printer, ink-thirsty September 29, 2009

After my Epson 960 photo printer finally gave up (started printing with banding and other problems, and Epson never created a driver for Vista), I got the 1400. I print primarily 4x6 borderless photos for family, with the occasional enlargement. But I am a fussy enthusiast who has owned 15+ cameras over 35 years. The print colors are excellent -- better than the 960, and I thought the 960 was quite good. Epson claims the new Claria dye inks will last longer than previous dye ink formulations, so I hope that turns out to be true. Time will tell. The best test is a photo on a fridge in a bright, sunny kitchen for a year or two...
The one annoying thing with this printer is it drinks ink! I thought the 960 used a lot. The 1400 is at least as thirsty, and the cartridges are $16 instead of $11! Epson claims the new cartridges are "high-capacity", which is, I guess, supposed to justify the price. They don't seem to last any longer than the ones in the 960. You will spend much more on ink than on paper, so buy good paper!
One more thing -- Epson printers can be fussy. If you let them sit, they will need to run through a "clean" cycle, which uses even more ink. Be careful when loading paper and making adjustments -- don't force anything or you will be getting a remanufactured printer (if printer is still under warranty) which will likely behave slightly differently than the one you got originally.
Color-matching is excellent with Epson paper. I use Epson Premium Semi-Gloss. Once I Figured out how to use the right color profiles with Photoshop, the match was as good as I used to get on the 960. I think.
So, overall, I am very pleased with the prints, which is what counts most. If you are looking to get a printer in the hopes of saving money relative to printing at a drug store or photo place, don't. It will cost you more to own and run your own printer. But if you want full control and convenience, and sometimes want to print big enlargements, the 1400 is a great option.
If you want to print black and white, or want true archival prints, look to the R2880 and related printers.
Very Good Printer December 12, 2009

I print 100s of photos per year, mostly 8x10 or 12x18. I purchased the Epson 1400 printer to replace my worn out, but much loved, Epson 1280. The 1400 is faster, quieter, and produces beautiful color prints. "It was not made to print black and white" is the mantra recited by the support staff at Epson when you call, trying to figure out how to print B&W pictures without a green (and occasionally magenta) colorcast. The 1400 uses a mixture of colors to create blacks and grays rather than using black and gray inks, and the B&W prints are awful. However, there is a workaround which will use the single black ink cartridge to print very good quality B&Ws. In the print setup page, go to "Print Settings," and select "Plain Paper." In "Color" choose "Grayscale," then select "Advanced" and in "Print Quality" select "Fine." This is the ONLY paper selection which will allow using the black ink cartridge rather than combining the several colors. This will give you a very good B&W image with no colorcasts. This transforms a disappointing printer into a very good printer. As stated by many reviewers, the 1400 uses a lot of ink, but that is the price to be paid for the high quality of image obtainable by this printer. For 3 times the cost of this printer you can purchase a printer with 2 or 3 shades of gray and black for printing B&W images of the highest quality, but in this price range you won't find better quality in your prints. It is too bad that Epson doesn't document this method or give you the information when you contact support, but it is a good solution to a bad problem. I highly recommend the printer.
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!
MAKE SURE YOU GET THE RIGHT INK!!!!! December 23, 2008

I bought the Epson 1400, quirky but works fine. However, as a package deal, Amazon.com couples the wrong ink with this printer under "FREQUENTLY BOUGHT TOGETHER." #78 Ink cartridges DO NOT FIT into this printer. You have to buy Epson #79 for the Epson Stylus 1400. I got caught to the tune of $66.67, don't let it happen to you. Hopefully Amazon.com will rectify this situation soon.
A decent Epson effort! December 8, 2008

After having used the Epson R1900 for a while and now using the Epson 1400 for a bit, I find the prints from the 1400 to be much more accurate, while lacking the fine detail of the R1900.
The software install was your usual fare, though it took a reboot of the printer to get the drivers to install correctly on Windows XP. But, software niggles aside, the 1400 is a very quiet printer, and much faster than my current photo printer, the Canon Pixma Pro9500.
I printed some black and white documents on regular printer paper on this printer, and the speed was surprisingly slow. If you intend to do a LOT of black and white document prints, I'd suggest looking elsewhere. The ink is quite expensive considering how small the cartridges are, so you'd be better off with a regular inkjet HP or Epson (such as the excellent Workforce 600 printer).
I'm a little disappointed in the Epson's build quality, as the paper tray that pulls down was broken out of the box, but I'll chalk that up to being "unlucky."
Overall, though, the color prints are quite fast, the print quality for photos is excellent on my Ilford Galerie Smooth Pearl paper (although you need to pick the highest quality otherwise you can see the printer's scan lines!), and the color accuracy seems considerably better than my Epson R1900 which added a yellow tinge to my images. You could definitely do a lot worse than this 1400, and I recommend it for the price.
4/5
