Epson Artisan 1430 Printer

The Artisan1430 is Epson's impressive, entry-level, tabloid-size (13x19inch), desktop printer. The low-cost 1430, which comes with a free copy of Adobe Elements, is aimed at photographers who are on a budget but still demand consistent,...

Low-cost printer; high-quality results

Expensive for high-volume production

The Artisan 1430 is an excellent value for low-volume, professional-quality prints.

Epson Artisan 1430

The Epson Artisan 1430 is a decent pro photo printer with great software and media options.

Can print on a huge range of media., Comes with Adobe Photoshop Elements

Somewhat narrow color gamut., Print initialization very annoying

Overall, the biggest thing you get out of the Epson Artisan 1430 is value. While you may not expect to associate that with a rather expensive printer, you do get a lot of performance bang for your buck, and you also get fantastic software along with...

Love my 1430

I've used R320's for 9 years and thought it was the cat's meow. I actually bought 4 or 5 used ones too, and have printed thousands of photos with them.

an impressive large format printer!

I had to do a fair amount of research before I decided to try this printer. I was impressed with everything I read online about it and could tell it would be worth a try. My only hesitation was if I would really like printing out scrapbook pages with...

B&W? Consider the 1340.

I wanted a B&W printer to print scans of negatives from family archives. These are not contemporary, hi-res, fine art files and frequently require considerable work but, I\u2019ve been getting beautiful prints from them. A friend had been printing them...

Artisan 1430

I have been a loyal Epson customer for many years and still have an old C60 that keeps on working. I bought the artisan 1430 in may last year and have had to replace it 3 times, so I definitely would not recommend this product. I do desktop publishing...

Can't Go Wrong with the Epson Artisan 1430

Recieved my Epson Artisan 1430 about 3 weeks ago. So far I've only printed 7 13x19" photos and the colors are fantastic! The one thing I question is the printing specs....It states printing a 13x19 boarderless photo takes 3 minutes! That must be at a...

Excellent CAD printer

Although I haven't had this printer for long, I can tell you that it is perfect for my CAD printing needs. I do line drawings, and the printed measurements are within 1/128th of an inch in the y direction (over the full 19 inches), and dead-on in the x...
