We purchased this printer for my wife, who is an avid scrap booker. We were replacing an older Epson wide carriage printer which had died after a troubled existence. I was concerned how this printer would work, but after reading reviews on HP wide carriage printers, decided to relent and order this unit.

After about a month of fairly regular use, my concerns have been put to rest. The printer uses several independent cartridges so you can replace individual colors of inks if they start to run out. (the replaced printer only had two cartridges, and they were obnoxious, tending to dry out and provide streaky prints). This printer generates excellent prints, very lifelike, with good color balance and detail. For wide carriage use, it is excellent for printing on large format scrapbook paper, with no smearing or other issues. Paper path is excellent, straight through, so no problems with jamming.

Only quirk we''ve noticed to date is that it does not print transparencies. (One technique now in vogue is to print your text on a transparency and then place it over a colored background). Not sure why this can''t be done, but the manual says don''t do it. Probably not an issue for the 99% of the world that doesn''t do this.

Overall it''s a very good printer, big improvement over what we had before. The wife is using it for all of her printing, where before she had used a networked HP inkjet all in one photo printer for her photos. We''ll see over time how it holds up, but one month in we''re not having any difficulties and it''s doing a great job. Real reasonable, especially given the prices of some of the other competitors in the market.

The current Epson Stylus Photo 1400 is my 2nd. The first had a problem where after a few prints, paper would run through the printer without any printed image. The printer just feed paper through. I called Epson help desk, we reinstalled the drivers, did all of the trouble shooting and were unable to have the printer do its job. Epson had me return the printer and forwarded me a new Photo 1400. I only use this printer for color photos and therefor don''t print out alot of images. Today,with my 2nd 1400, the same problem as described above occurred. After all of the trouble shooting, downloading drivers, and available support, our attempts for proper function were fruitless. Since this Photo 1400 was post warranty, I disposed of the printer and am in the process of purchasing another brand. I can not recommend this printer, rate the printed images as excellent when it printed. I had always been a fan of Epson, but find that it''s time to try something else

I got a great deal on this printer about a year ago (new from an office supply store). The first twenty or so prints were not bad, not nearly as good as the ones from my HP B9160, but not nearly as expensive or cumbersome to print either. Unfortunately, I was reminded why I don''t buy Epson. The print heads clog really quickly and then you get banding on your prints. It happened to me before on another Epson. I chalked it up to being that printer but apparently it wasn''t. It''s an incredible pain and since even when the prints were good they weren''t great I gave up and reverted to my older printers.

Other than that it has some nice features, not the least of which is the wide-format printing. It doesn''t matter, though. I never use it anymore because of the print head issues.

I''ve owned this printer for a couple of years and recently bought a 2nd one. I do a lot of graphics and I''m real impressed with the quality of this printer from postcards to large format sheets of 13 x 19. This printer has excellent color and detail, and I am very happy with the printer''s performance. Not the fastest printer on the block, but I can live with that given its exceptional print quality. I''ve owned a number of printer''s in the past, including Cannon and HP, but this is the best so far. Works well with "knock off" inks, so cost is not as bad as if you tried to buy the inks from Epson. As with most of these companies their exclusive brand of refill inks cost more than what you paid for the printer and you almost want to purchase a new printer every time you buy inks. I go online and purchase in bulk and can get three cartridges for the price of one Epson refill....Thanks, but no thanks. I don''t find any noticeable difference in my output, so buy the printer from Epson, (*great price by the way), and purchase your ink refills somewhere else. Wake up Epson; you make a great product for a reasonable price, now do something about your pricing on ink cartridges. Your high prices don''t fool anyone, nor do you claims that only your cartridges work best!
