In this case, that means six ink cartridges: cyan, magenta, yellow, black, light cyan, and light magenta. Just be sure you get the ones with the special white surface on top.Īs usual with the Stylus Photo line, the inks load from the top.
#EPSON STYLUS PHOTO 1400 REVIEWS FULL SIZE#
Epson does include the ability to print onto CDs and DVDs, both full size and their smaller 8cm cousins used in camcorders. Epson probably thinks that the market for this printer is too advanced for that feature, but it does come in handy from time to time. But, unlike some of its competitors, this Epson doesn't include a card reader, so you can't print directly from a memory card. Once you open it fully to print, the machine grows to 24.2x31.6x16.3 inches.įans of PictBridge printing, which lets you print directly from your camera by connecting it to the printer via USB, will appreciate the convenience of the 1400's front-panel USB jack. Despite that, it's still a bit large, measuring 24.2x12.4x8.8 inches when it's all closed up. Sleek silver-and-black styling keeps the Stylus Photo 1400 from becoming an eyesore in your home office. Color wasn't an option, and the dot-matrix print engine sounded as if it was etching your words into a wood plaque instead of churning out a book report.
When I was in grade school, printers were massive, ugly, heavy behemoths clad in industrial-looking tan plastic. However, photographers looking for more neutral black-and-white prints should take a look at Epson's Stylus Photo R2400, which earned high scores for its mastery of monochromatic printing. Scrapbookers, who often use 12x12-inch paper, will probably welcome the Stylus Photo 1400, since it lists for $150 less than the Stylus Photo R1800, which is the next step up in Epson's 13-inch line.
That means the 1400 won't make you waste the rest of your unused color ink just because the light magenta ran out again. Plus, the 1400 uses six separate ink cartridges, while the 1280 bunched all but its black ink into one cartridge. For example, the new Epson Stylus Photo 1400 can spray out ink drops as small as 1.5 picoliters, compared to the 1280's minimum 4-picoliter drop size. While the Stylus Photo 1280 remains a very popular printer, some of its specs feel a bit outdated. It's been a long six years since Epson last updated the 13-inch dye-based model in its popular Stylus Photo line of photo printers.
