I was really quite interested in this new Epson Stylus Photo 1400 replacement for the 1280 in part because I was a little burned out working with pigment-ink printers, and I was very curious what the new Epson ink formulation called Claria was all about. It is reproduced with superb fidelity in prints made with the Epson Stylus Photo 1400 printer.Īll Photos © 2007, David B. On the coast of northern California and Oregon the air can be crystal clear and the blues of the ocean and sky contrasted against the neutral black of volcanic rock is a striking scene. Epson's price for the 1400, as sold by their online store, is $399. The Stylus Photo 1400 comes with a software bundle that includes the Epson driver, Epson Print CD, Web To Page, and Adobe's Photoshop Elements.
Connectivity to either a Windows PC (including Vista) or an Apple Mac with OS 10.2.8 or higher is via a USB 2.0 cable. You can print up to 13x19" paper size and reproduce border-free print images on paper sizes from 4圆 to 13x19". This provides PictBridge support for printing directly from the camera with an Epson built-in photo correction capability.
On the front of the 1400, to the left of the output tray, is a socket for a cable to connect to digital cameras. The shape and functions of the Epson Stylus Photo 1400 have a close similarity to the R1800 and R2400 models in the way paper media is input and output. A 98-year display life has been established for Claria inks by Wilhelm Imaging Research ( /epson/RX580.html). They create images on paper with exceptionally fine, 1.5 picoliter droplets to reproduce very fine detail and image sharpness. The Claria inks were introduced with three new Epson letter-sized printers in 2006. An added feature the 1280 lacked is the ability to print on CD and DVD printable discs. In addition, each of its six now individual large-capacity ink cartridges are loaded with the new, richer-colored, longer-lasting Claria ink. Like the 1280, the new Epson Stylus Photo 1400 is a 13" wide printer that will produce 13x19" enlargements, but much faster. With its new Claria inks that pass high longevity tests made by Wilhelm Imaging Research, the 1400 is now a comparable and serious choice compared to pigment-ink alternatives. The new Epson Stylus Photo 1400 is the first new dye-ink 13" inkjet from Epson in six years.
