Set up was very easy for this machine. I just plugged in the USB cable from my laptop to the R1400 printer after installing software from the provided CD. It took a while for the CD to install, but after a re-boot we were up and running very quickly.
Today (07/05/12) I experimented with A3 size Sumvision 260 gram glossy photographic paper. I decided to select a powerful image of a Peacock featuring vivid iridescent blue-green colours. Again the results were impressive, however I think they would have looked better on a high quality matt paper; and although the resolution of the source picture was high, on closer inspection the clarity and definition of the image are not 100%.
In the afternoon I purchased a Wilkinson 20" x 16" plastic wood effect glazed picture/photo frame incorporating a cream mount. The opening was almost too wide (on the shortest sides) to comfortably seat the A3 print, however with some careful maneuvering this was achieved. There was an inch of play on the length meaning we lost a couple of centimetres of the image behind the mount.
A nice gentleman came into the shop today looking to purchase a R1400 printer after seeing the unopened box in the window last week. I informed him that we only had one unit left and this had been used for demonstration purposes over the last couple of days. After seeing the prints it had performed, he wanted to purchase it. So I no longer have an R1400 printer to play with which I am a little sad about.
I have just ordered a cheaper Epson B1100 A3+ printer that I will put to the test later this week.
