I've been taking photos and printing them for about 17 years. Mostly doing black and white emulsion and prints in my bathroom darkroom. About 5 years ago I switched to digital photography. Two years ago I purchased the Epson Stylus 1400 photo printer and began making prints. I've been very pleased with the color's I'm able to get from the Epson toner and paper combinations. Very rich and saturated and the blacks are black. My only criticism about the toner is that the number of prints you get out of one cartridge seems a bit low. But that seems to be the case for all printers I've used. And I understand printer manufacture's make there money on toner.

Not what I was looking for

Now I know that dye-based inks bleed when printed on regular paper. This does not work for me.

          Yeah ! I have tried all of the aftermarket replacement inks. They are comparably cheap but do not perform well. In some instances they may not be even recognized by the printer. I use the printer mostly for photo printing and there is no comparison. 4 stars because it is horribly expensive.

            I've printed many large photo prints and have been very impressed with the colors. I'd buy my Epson 1400 again and only would use their ink.

                I use this ink for large format photos (13x20). The colors reproduce true and rich. The cartridges last surprisingly long 25-30 13"x 20" photos.

                I sell a few photos every week and do most of my own printing. With the right paper this ink produces outstanding prints. The only downside is the cartridges don't last long enough. I bought the full set of cartridges from B & H and saved a few dollars. It's a great deal!

                      Color matching with the Epson 1400 is excellent when using Epson Inks. Would not recommend using any other ink in an Epson printer.

                      I've been taking photos and printing them for about 17 years. Mostly doing black and white emulsion and prints in my bathroom darkroom. About 5 years ago I switched to digital photography. Two years ago I purchased the Epson Stylus 1400 photo printer and began making prints. I've been very pleased with the color's I'm able to get from the Epson toner and paper combinations. Very rich and saturated and the blacks are black. My only criticism about the toner is that the number of prints you get out of one cartridge seems a bit low. But that seems to be the case for all printers I've used. And I understand printer manufacture's make there money on toner.

                      Not what I was looking for

                      Now I know that dye-based inks bleed when printed on regular paper. This does not work for me.

                            The cartridge runs out fast in proportion to the price paid but the colors are great.

                              Yeah ! I have tried all of the aftermarket replacement inks. They are comparably cheap but do not perform well. In some instances they may not be even recognized by the printer. I use the printer mostly for photo printing and there is no comparison. 4 stars because it is horribly expensive.

                                I've printed many large photo prints and have been very impressed with the colors. I'd buy my Epson 1400 again and only would use their ink.

                                    I use this ink for large format photos (13x20). The colors reproduce true and rich. The cartridges last surprisingly long 25-30 13"x 20" photos.

                                    I sell a few photos every week and do most of my own printing. With the right paper this ink produces outstanding prints. The only downside is the cartridges don't last long enough. I bought the full set of cartridges from B & H and saved a few dollars. It's a great deal!

                                      Use these instead of knockoffs. The quality pays off, and they won't harm your printer.

                                        I am a graphic design student and supplies can become very expensive. B&H Photo offered the cheapest price for this ink and the product itself provides me with quality prints.

                                          Color matching with the Epson 1400 is excellent when using Epson Inks. Would not recommend using any other ink in an Epson printer.
