Hello Fellow forum members
I just purchased a new printer ,i purchased the Epson Stylus 1400 i print photographs,and i want to print photo transfers too. i got it from ITSupply online (free shipping) with a $ 50 Rebate from Epson Final cost will be $279 after Rebate, Rebate is good to 12/31/07
my question is the magic flow cis system that Alpha Supply sells,has any one used it for the 1400? I bought the 1400, for the advantage of doing 11x17 Transfers & 13 x19 prints, Alpha says they have developed inks that will work for transfers too,what is the story here?
I think that's the system I have on my 1400, with Artanium ink. It consists of 6 bags, ink lines and heads. It woks fine. It has never clogged and I leave shut off for two weeks at a time sometimes.

I use a 1400 with CIS and artainium ink But remember the ink that comes with the 1400 is NOT pigmented ink...it is the new Claris inks and I am told not suited for transfers

I am thinking of purchasing the 1400 too!
I would like to ask...
Do you still like this printer??
How are the heat transfer inks working out for you?
Do you use carts or a CIS?
What "brand" HT inks are you using?

hello..i got problem with that too. Have you got your 1390? How it's going? i am bit confuse with 1390 and 1400 version, are they the same? thanks
i think they are both same style but different region, if you gonna put ciss you need to use different chip to. By the way if you want to use in shirt printing i recommend the 1100 its more prone to clogging but if you gonna use in photography 1400 is much better.
JUST PURCHASED EPSON 1400 new
