Do you do printing 4 color bar chart on Epson 1400 (along with nozzle check)? I was advised to do it once a week. But I could not figure out how.

Bob, here is another question for you. Your post and a video from Inkjetcarats.com were very useful to understanidng the chip settings. I can follow you what you are saying here. My question is at what step you refill inks. I assume that inks should be filled just before turning on the...

bobjoek, You're absolutely right for Epson 1400. So far I am happy with damper carts and its performance. What I noticed was that blue color (sky) is blusih, not that blue as you see sky. All other colors look the exact the same betwen those on screen and glossy photopapers. BTW, how do...

Today I tried to set up dampers with "Epson SP1400 1400 Refillable Damper Cartridges + AUV Inks". Idea was neat. The problem is too much leak of inks from the bottom of cartridges (or dampers). Inks drop too much. I could not figure out how to stop it. After setup, I looked at the...

I tired both Kirkland and Epson premium photo paper glossy. For printing on Kirkland papers, I used the same printing settings for the Epson papers. To my eyeballs, the pictures look IDENTICAL between two. I might stick to Kirkland paper for the Epson printer.

I received Epson 1400 and thoroughly tested. With Epson glossy photo papers, the pictures came out nice. Colors were well matched between the pictures on the screen and those on prints. My Cnon printers (i9900, ip6000D, i4000) could not match the colors by Epson printer. But it did poorly...

On the way home today, I dropped by Office Depot. I bought a pack of Epson 6 x 4 paper, 100 (Epson Premium Glossy Photo Paper 10.4 mil - 4x6 -100 sheets - borderless). I paid $19.78 including tax. After coming home, I visited Atlex.com to order more if the price is cheaper. Indeed, its...

It looks that Epson 1400 would arrive this Friday or next Monday. I hope it performs better than Canon i9900. When I examined thoroughly on i9900, the major problem is red color. It prints more like reddish brown or brown. All other colors look good on Kirkland paper.

Thank you so much. BTW, where do you buy Epson printing papers. For Canon I used to buy phot papers (Kirkland) from Costco. Where do you buy Epson photopapers?

Bob, I visted InkJetCarts.com. There were three items which you might be talking about. a) Epson 1400 refillable damper printhead cleaning kit with/ chip, b) Epson 1400 SP1400 Damper Claria Refillable c) Epson 1400 SP1400 dye sublmiation damper catridges refillable. Since I am new to...

I eventually ordered Epson stylus 1400 color printer last Saturday. I am new to Epson printer. While waiting for its arrivel, I want to order third party refillable inks and chip resetting device. Please advise me where to look for.

For last few days, I tried both Canon printers with different variables (Photoshop Manage colors, Printer Manage colors, etc). I am not happy the way the printer produces colors. ip6000D produced better colors than ip4000. But I am not happy with ip6000D. I am now tempted to try an Epson...

Thanks for your comment. I should study how to do color managment for Canon. BTW, how about "Enable ICM". I felt that this should be disabled becuase it is windows color manaagment. Is that correct?

One of my monitor is Dell S2409w and the other one is Samsung (with the similar size). Color management (fromWindows 7) was kperforemd. To my naked eyes, color of monitor is the same as I see the picture from my Nikon camera. So I really doubt that the monitor is the problem. The problem could...

I have been using Caonon inkjet printers (ip4000, ip6000, i9900). I usully open images in Photoshop CS5 and prints (on Costco's Kirkland photo papers). Colors of prints form all ofl these printers are out of whack. Red color is more like pinky, white color becomes bluish green, brown color...
