Office Max has the Epson 1400 on sale right now until October 17 for only $199. I recently bought one and with a 3 year protection plan for $36 came to $256 total with tax here in California. I do plan on buying the Bigfoot CIS for it as well.

You can print black films with the right settings, without using the blackmax system, and have all of the other colors available for other printing needs. I use a CIS from inkjetfly and have great black films on just one black cartridge.

Nice!

Staples had a similar promotion, but I don't think it is still going on. I saw a deal at TigerDirect.com also a few weeks ago.

The Epson 1400 comes with dye ink cartridges. The R1800 and R1900 come with pigment ink cartridges. Pigment ink is more opaque.
