Sharing the same technology as the Epson Stylus Photo R260 and R380, including Claria(TM) ink and DX5 MicroPiezo(R) print heads, the Epson Stylus Photo 1400 is engineered to produce awe-inspiring photographic prints up to 13"x 19" that enable photo enthusiasts to realize the full potential of today's newer DSLRs and high-end digital point-and-shoot cameras.
