It's not quite the equal of Epson's more expensive Epson Stylus Photo R1800, but it's in the same league, as well as being a close match to-and arguably better than-the also-more-expensive HP Photosmart 8750 Professional Photo Printer. It's that card slots are convenient for moving files to the computer.įor any printer that's intended primarily for photos, the most important issue is photo quality, and that's precisely where the 1400 shines. The issue isn't the lack of direct printing from cards, as most serious photographers would rather edit-or at least take a look at-their photos on a computer before printing. The 1400 includes a connector for printing directly from PictBridge cameras, but alas, no memory card slots. As you might expect for a relatively expensive photo printer, the 1400 uses six ink colors-cyan, yellow, magenta, black, light cyan, and light magenta-with a separate cartridge for each, so you don't have to throw unused ink away every time one color runs out. Setup is essentially the same as that of most ink jet printers: Remove the packing materials, load paper, snap in the ink cartridges, run the automated installation routine, and plug in the power cord and USB cable.

Even so, the printer looks handsome enough to go well with most home office or hobby areas. The 1400 weighs 25 pounds and measures 8.8 by 24.2 by 12.4 inches (HWD), not including the output tray that you can extend as much as 13 inches to the front to catch the large-size paper.

Printing on large sheets of paper takes a relatively big printer.
