Please can you tell me, does the epson 1400 inkjet printer come with a printed manual.

Our Comment:

The Epson Stylus Photo 1400 comes with the full user manual in PDF format on a CD rather than a printed booklet - in fact it's quite rare for any printer or multi-function device to come with a printed manual in the box nowadays.

Additionally, both the manual and quick start guide are also available to download from the Epson website - you can find a link to the appropriate section of the Epson website in the Printer Drivers and Software Downloads area of our Resources section.

Thanks for your question.

I'm delighted with the Epson Stylus Photo 1400. The print quality is outstanding, and as with all Epson products, the software and drivers are easy to use and provide comprehensive options -- absolutely essential for a designer and publisher like me. I've been using the printer for all the usual office functions (letters, labels, envelopes, spreadsheets) as well as high-end InDesign, Photoshop and digital photography work, and the only criticism I can think of is that ink usage is pretty heavy, though having separate colour cartridges alleviates the cost somewhat and these days there are, of course, alternatives to the expensive Epson own-brand cartridges. Brilliant value for money, top notch results. Highly recommended.

excellent consistent results, once you have found the appropriate settings and papers to get the best from the machine - the paper and ink do not need to be Epson's own brand to get the best from this printer (although archive quality longevity may not be then gauranteed)

printer is mainly used for producing black and white architectural drawings (A3) which it does with ease and quality rarely used for producing colour photos but when combined with photo quality paper results are stunning main complaint I have is that even thought printing in black and white it still appears to use the other colour cartridges the small capicity of the cartridges is also dissapointing

I bought this printer specificvally because it produced A3 output. So far it has done all I wanted, and means that I have hardly used my other Epson A4 printers, except for some posters, tickets, flyers etc - not photographs - and then only because I have inks to use up. The 1400 will, eventually become my sole colour printer. The inks are EXPENSIVE though. and I notice that the cartridges are ONLY for this printer, and I wonder how long Epson will continue to manufacture for a "minority" product. Otherwise a great machine!
