 Picture Perfect! January 14, 2008

I bought the Epson Stylus 1400 Claria Photo Printer for my wife for Christmas and she cried when she opened the package. But tears quickly turned to a huge smile when she printed her first set of photos on it! This machine is perfect for printing incredibly sharp photos, up to 13 inches by 19 inches. The ink is dry immediately and is equal to any professional prints. Awesome!
Excellent printer for artists & designers. October 16, 2009

I have been working with the Epson 1400 large format printer as part of a networked printer bank in a professional design studio for just over a year, and have been impressed with its ability to reliably produce high-quality, accurate large format prints even under heavy use.
Our office uses this printer almost every day for printing proofs of catalogs, product artwork, packaging artwork, mockups to show to product distributors, sales brochures, and other design-related purposes. During crunch times we may run as many as 50-100 large-format prints through this printer in a single day as we update designs and put together proofing documents to send to our printers.
I've worked with a lot of large-format printers over the years both as a design student and a professional, and I'm not impressed easily, but this printer has won my admiration. It has reliably withstood heavy abuse and continued to work properly despite countless network configuration changes, thousands of prints, and a healthy dose of user error.
If you're having trouble getting prints that look like what you see on your screen, make sure that your document is set to a "CMYK" color format and the color rendering for the printer is set to "perceptual." When my office first got our Epson 1400 we were having some trouble getting accurate color rendering until we discovered this, and it makes a huge difference in what prints look like.
For the very best results make sure you use Epson brand paper.
We experimented with some off-brand papers at first and weren't happy with the results. After a lot of trial and error we've found that that the Epson Presentation Paper Matte provides good results for proofing documents, and we occasionally use the stiffer Epson Premium Presentation Paper Matte when we want to cut out packaging designs so we can fold them together to make sure the sizing is accurate.
Like all inkjet printers it uses ink fairly quickly and not all office supply stores carry the ink this printer uses, so it's important to keep backup ink cartridges at all times. Since this printer uses a total of 6 cartridges (Cyan, Light Cyan, Magenta, Light Magenta, Yellow, Black) this can be a fairly pricey investment, but if you ever find yourself printing with a deadline it's worth it in the long run.
Because of its size and associated costs this isn't an "everyday" kind of printer that should be used for printing e-mails and MapQuest directions, but for design students and professionals who want accurate color rendering from a reasonably-priced printer that is reliable, easy to use, and has great customer support, the Epson 1400 is an excellent choice.
PROS:
Good value for design students & professionals
Accurate color reproduction when using correct settings
Good print quality
Easy to use & troubleshoot
Extremely reliable even under heavy use
Excellent support from Epson (new drivers & other updates)
A good choice for design students & professionals
CONS:
13" x 19" paper can be hard to find in stores
Large prints sometimes use ink quickly
Great Photo Printer August 17, 2009

I've wanted a photo lab, but couldn't afford one. I was cool with Epson, because my Photo 925 was a bust, but my month old 1400 is a great printer. From 4x6 to 13x19 I have been getting nothing but wonderful prints. In order to achieve this, I do use a screen monitor and ICC profiles, but after all of the calculations are done, the printer has to do its job and this one does splendidly. If you are a fairly serious amateur photographer (I use my printer only for photos) this is a great buy today. I couldn't be more pleased.

I make my living taking photographs. I have been using the 1400 for a couple of months. It is a great printer for my purposes. I mostly use it for portfolio prints, and promo cards. Otherwise for word processing too. Hook up and install to my iMac was simple. It worked right away. It does suck up a lot of ink. The price for the printer at Amazon was low, but the cost of ink is high. Seems like Epson is in the ink business more than printers, but don't want to risk gumming up the works with generic inks.
Great printer--good price September 13, 2008

This is a great printer for someone who needs a large format printer. I am a graphic designer and I use it to proof 11x17 newsletters. My last stylus photo printer lasted 10 years. This is an improvement because there are 6 ink cartridges instead of 2. My only complaint is that ink is so expensive, but all ink jet printers have that problem. So I still recommend it highly.
