 It does more than it is touted to do October 2, 2007

The 1400 gives me the prints that I am looking for and is easily calibrated to the color I see on my monitorIt tends to print some what darker than the monitor but knowing that it is easy to compensate for . The colors are true

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.
So far so good, and some inkjet stuff I've learned March 23, 2009

The Background:
I upgraded from an R1800 that had lots of banding. Cleaning would take care of the banding but would deplete the "number" of prints. You see, the chips on the cartridges tell the software how many prints you can make before the ink is "out", and cleaning uses up a good chunk of that "number". The software won't print if the chip tells it the ink is out. So after several cleanings to fix the banding, the ink was "out", despite the fact that physically there is still ink in the cartridge. I switched to the cheaper LD inks. This saved me some money because the problem was still there, but I wasn't paying as much, but the LD cartridges would leave random blobs of ink on my print. I finally decided to ditch the R1800 and settled on the 1400 as a suitable replacement.
The Performance:
So far, so good. The prints are superior to the R1800, and that's with 6 cartridges instead of the 8 in the R1800. I collect a lot of art online and print it out, scan in postcards and clip art and enlarge them, and also take lots of digital photos. I average 2-3 prints per day and they are beautiful. Ink is a little spendy but still cheaper now that I only buy 6 cartridges instead of 8. Plus they are high capacity cartridges that do seem to last longer than the R1800 cartridges did even when it worked right.
What I've Learned:
Let's face it folks. Printers, all of them (not just Epson), are made in a manufacturing process, just like cars, DVD players, iPods, and most everything else. I work in manufacturing and I know sometimes your process has problems. Usually it affects a batch of products run during a specific period until the problem is found and corrected. It is not uncommon for those bad batches to make their way to the consumer. I don't care who the manufacturer is, you can get a bad printer. Go look at Canon or HP reviews and you will see similar comments about banding or paper jams.
I was a mechanic for several years, and despite all the technology, printers are still mechanical beasts. From my experience, the more you use something that is mechanical, the better it runs. If you let it sit too long (my R1800 sat for six months without being used) the parts just don't take idle time well - maybe it's because they need constant repetitive motion to stay lubricated and dust/dirt free. I don't know for sure. I for one am committed to replacing my printer every 3-4 years, which is how often I rebuild my PC. If my PC needs more memory, faster and bigger hard drives, and a new operating system, why wouldn't my printer need to be upgraded as well?
I don't think printers are designed to last much beyond that time period anyway - the printer companies need you to come back and buy another printer to keep sales up and keep their shareholders happy.
UPDATE:
1 year after purchase and still making 2-3 beautiful prints per week. I have just changed the cartridges for the second time. Think about that for a moment - 2 to 3 high quality printouts a week, and I'm only on the third set of cartridges (counting the ones that came with the printer). That's about 50 prints per cartridge set ($60), less than $1 per print. No paper jams, no banding, no software issues from Corel or Photoshop, just consistently beautiful, fast, economical prints. When you consider that the R1800 cost me $400 for limited use and a lot of stress, and the 1400 is only $189, it has been worth every penny.

I had a HP printer before this Epson. When I got a new MacBook Pro the HP wouldn't work with it. I ordered the Epson Stylus Photo 1400 because I do scrap booking and I liked the feature of being able to print 12 x 12. Another thing I love about this printer is that I can print virtually any size paper, which I couldn't do with the HP. So I can print off verses for odd sized home-made greeting cards, or print odd sized journaling for my scrap books. The colors are good and photos are sharp and clear.

I have had this printer for about a month. The output is crisp and clean. The over-sized prints I have done (up to 13x19) have all gotten "wows" when they have been displayed. The print quality is the best I have seen in an ink-jet. As others have mentioned, it is hungry for ink, but when you enter a high end printer your gonna pay a premium. You get what you pay for. Ink is still hard to find, but this model is still fairly new. I can almost always get the ink at staples off the shelf. So if your looking for a serious over-sized printer... this is the one.
