 I love this printer January 30, 2008

I got this for myself in December, and love it so far. The built-in ICM profiles are pretty good (though a little better if you make your own) and the pictures that it prints look great on both glossy and matte, color or B/W. Easy to use, reliable, great price on Amazon.com!
EPSON 1400 : PERFECT 1280 REPLACEMENT September 6, 2008

I've been a pro photographer since 1970. I sell rock concert photos I shot in the [...] .I've had the Epson 1280 with a bulk ink system for 3 years. It's known as a workhouse and very reliable. When you pump up the colour saturation in PhotoShop, the 1280 prints look like the old dye-transfer prints of the 60's & 70's that cost $200 for an 8x10 print back then.
When I thought it was time for a new unit, I studied all info on the Epson 1400. With the special low prices currently on this unit, I took the plunge. It's easy to plug in, load the software, and bam, you're printing beautiful 13x19 prints. It really seems to be the direct replacement for the Epson 1280 so it was easy for me to use. I didn't even need the user instructions. Plus I found some re-fillable dye ink cartridges that have been working perfectly. With these the cost of ink replacement becomes very low.
One thing I noticed about the 1400 is how quiet it is. I don't even notice it's printing. I watch TV or listen to the stereo and I'm not bothered by the 1400, whereas the 1280 was kind of a background noise.
By the way, I also purchased the Epson 3800 for larger, archival museum quality prints using their pigment ink. This printer is amazing. If you're looking for black & white printing that looks true to wet darkroom prints, the Epson 3800 does it. I use their Ultra Premium Lustre paper and the prints are dazzling. It totally reminds me of darkroom prints using the old AGFA Brovira paper. All you old timers like me will remember that paper. It was tops for museum gallery prints.
Kudos to Epson....I wish I had these printers 35 years ago.
Great for low volume color work October 21, 2008

Overall, this is a very nice printer. It's a very good choice for someone who does mainly (or entirely) low volume color work. It's geared toward the home user/low end hobbyist and hits the mark quite well. It's not targeted to high end hobbyist/semi-pro or professional printers - you'll have to step up a bit in the Epson line for that. But if you're a home user and want to work with larger format paper, give this a hard look.
Set up is (thankfully) a breeze -- good instructions that are easy to follow and, more importantly, easy to install software that works the first time (at least on XP - have not tried it on a Vista machine). Build quality is very solid -- the paper guides feel substantial (not all that common at this price point) as does the overall printer. Ink installation is fool-proof since the cartridges won't fit in the wrong slot.
So far, I've been very pleased with the color output using Photoshop. Epson claims that the printhead is a new design that provides more detail. While I'm not one of those who peers at prints with a magnifying glass, to my eye the output was equal to that produced by my higher-end printers (Both Epson and Canon). The key to working well with any printer is to profile your monitor and printer using something such as the ColorMunki (there are several other options as well).
The down sides to this printer are in its B/W work. I didn't expect a whole lot from it since it does not have the dedicated black cartridges as the 2400 or 3800. True to form, B/W prints from the 1400 have a color cast. You can tweak it to minimize it, but a perfectly neutral B/W print is a challenge to produce with this printer. If you do mainly color work, you'll be happy with this printer. If you do a lot of B/W work, you should look elsewhere.
The ink cartridges are on the small side, but that can be a good thing if you don't run a lot of volume through the printer. Inks do go bad if they sit for a long time unused, so a smaller cartridge ensures you'll empty the ink in a timely manner. Of course, this works against you if you're doing a lot of prints, since larger cart's are less costly per ounce. While you can save money with third party refills, it can be a false economy -- while some are just as good as Epson inks, others will produce sub-par results (at best) and can really foul up the printer with clogs. If you're willing to spend the money for the printer, you should figure in the cost of using Epson inks.
An unexpected treat was the noise, or rather, lack thereof. Very quiet running.
In short, this is a very good choice for low volume color work with the flexibility for larger formats, and delivers prints that look like they came from a much more expensive printer.
Excellent Printer. . . but. . . . June 8, 2009

This printer is a bargain. Good color, wide format and DVD/CD printing for a very reasonable price.
BUT. . . .
I am disappointed with the lack of decent drivers to print out of PhotoShop. Working from an iMac, I actually get better/more printing options by printing out of the standard Apple picture viewer. What's up with that, Epson???
Great Printer, Great Price. June 1, 2009

I already owned an Epson 1400 when I spotted this ad on Amazon. The printer is one of the best I've ever used (In the 13" x 19" category). The price was the deciding factor for me. I'll be using the second printer as a back-up although I've had no problems with the first one. I am a professional digital artist and I run ink jets all day long. The Epson Photo 1400 is a good solid work horse that produces very high quality images. I would recommend it to any digital artist who wants to produce their own finished prints.
