It’s been a while since the last posting. I have been working for several months fine tuning the Epson 1400s. I have one set up for B&W printing using MIS Inks with an Ultratone (UT14) archival ink setup. I have found excellent results using Epson’s Radiant White Watercolor Paper . This paper was not originally developed for the 1400, but it works beautifully with the Ultratone inkset. I have developed a quite simple workflow using the Epson printer interface, with the key setting being “print preview” so as to obtain the best contrast and density match to my monitor. Keep it simple and make it fun!
I continue to use Epson’s OEM Claria inks on the color side, but will soon be switching to a bulk ink setup using MIS inks. The Claria ink is absolutely vivid and I have sold several prints right from the home printer. Dense color perfectly matched to the monitor.
