Ok just ordered my epson 1400 off eBay. While browsing I saw a couple all black ink set ups, has anyone ever bought one from eBay I know the one from ryonet is pretty pricey so if I can get it the cheap way I would rather do that.

Not sure what all comes with an "all black" setup from ebay, but remember you will need a program like Accurip.

I have a buddy in the business that is giving me accurip. It is actually a refillable all black inks

Nice then you should be set... it would also be best to get some water proof film.

 

[RideOutWear]

Yes I am gonna try to purchase that on eBay too.

Just bought a set of refill cartridges for my 1400 and some black ink, should have it in a couple days so we will see how it goes.

Cool since u will have yours first let me know if there is a difference

Sure will...

Currently I am using Epson 1400, waterbase film, OEM ink, and accurip...I just run it through twice. It is pitch black when I am done, but it will be nice if I can just run it through once and still have the same results.

And save money on the refill the ink when needed

Ok just processed my first screen with the new refill system. It worked perfect and was very easy to install. I dumped all of the color ink into a bucket and mixed it and then poured it in to the bottle of black ink. Took me probably 10 mins to do the complete change over.

I am using accurip and the "all black" setting... the film was completely dark and had zero problems washing out. Here are the links to the setup I purchased for a crazy $30 total.

Bulk black refill ink for Epson Stylus 1400 R380 RX595 - eBay (item 130405385055 end time Jul-29-10 23:03:16 PDT)

Both shipped same day ordered, priority mail, from double2ink.

Awesome! I will purchase same one. Can't beat the price at all for an all black ink change

I also purchased the 1400 refill set and you can't even tell the difference from the Epson ink. Since I've purchased it, I've printed about 200 transparencies and my ink tanks have barely moved, whereas the epson cartridges would've had to have been refilled thrice. Refill is the way to go!!

i see some for pigment ink? Can I use that to output films with my 1400?

How did u fill all cartridges with black if they came pre filled with color?

RideOutWear, I think he meant that he dumped all of the colors in a bucket and added a bottle of black and that turned the whole bucket black.

On a separate issue, I already have an Epson 1400 with a CISS Pigment ink system and but every time I try to print transparencies it prints them fine about halfway through then messes up. I was reading here on the forum that you tape a piece of paper on the back and you can trick the unit into printing a transparency. Haven't tried it yet though. However the 1/2 transparency that did print looked awesome.

Would this work if I taped paper to the back?

Is it possible to buy the replaceable ink system and switch them?

Or would the multi color pigment ink work well?

I do still use the printer to print transfers so the all black wouldn't work.

Thanks for your input, Bill

I just found some empty cartridges on eBay. That way all that is needed is to insert black ink.

I just popped the top rubber off and shook them all into a small plastic pan. Took probably 1 min to remove the ink... I was shocked at the small amount of ink in each one.

 

[Ken Styles]

So basically the film is not being picked up by the printer halfway through the print and it is just spitting it out and telling you that it is out of paper?

 

[Ken Styles]

I have 2 1400's and one is used only for sublimation ink.
Has anyone every changed out from an all black set up to a regular OEM set up. back and forth?
I was to have the all black system but my wife wants color for some of her projects...Or should I just get a 3rd printer.

Hello Guys I am also new with my epson 1400 and I am wondering when you guys say all black ink settings means change all the cartridges to black or I need to change any of the settings on the printer as well???
