Thank you so much. I've been researching forever on best printer for photos and digital prints and your detailed explanation made me decide. So glad i found your you tube channel and appreciate all your help. Im trying to go back and see all your videos and continue to learn.
Hi Ken, I am sorry to say I have owned this printer over 2 1/2 yrs and have never used it as a wide format printer, because it came without the manual. I'm not very techy and I just gave up. Its been a dust collector! But, thanks to you I will give it a try. I learned so much today. I just got back from Jordan so I need to print a lot of spectacular photos and made be this printer will redeem itself with me. The first thing I will do is download the manual and get new ink. The Adobe Photoshop expired and they want me to buy it now, but maybe I will if the printer is worth it. I'm jumping in thanks to you. As always thanks Ken.
Ken, thank you for your thorough and wonderful review! I've been looking for a budget-friendly printer for a digital printing business I'm starting up in the near future. All of my research also lead me to this model, but it was great to have a thorough video review of it and to see examples of the actual prints, as well as ink supplier suggestions. Thanks for your time and thoughts.
Thankyou very much for this awesome review! I just brought this printer myself but its called the 1500w in the u.k but there wasn't many reviews this in depth so looked up the u.s name and found your video! Hope you are happy with the printer, can't wait to get mine :)
Great video! Solved my problems with color; never thought of printing with photo paper setting. I do wedding invitations - print to the edge and they are perfect. My problem was rich colors now solved. Thanks so much Ken!
I bought this printer last year and have loved it. Was worried that it might eat ink at a fast rate, but have been pleasantly surprised. I also highly recommend it and was glad to see that you had the same results. I did want to say, however, that you can still print from an iphone by using the Epson iprint app.
Thanks so much for this video! I've been using an Epson 1280 and I need to replace it. This is exactly what i've been looking for, great review! Thanks so much.
Ken great review I have been thinking about getting a 12x12 printer, I appreciate the information! I am a new subscriber and love your channel lots of great information!
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! Ugh I have been researching wide format printers for years and was having a hard time trying to figure out which one I wanted. My choices were the Epson P400 and Canon Pixma PRO 100. Since the Canon does not support 12x12 and the P400 has the gloss optimizer (plus the color choices are not good in my opinion), I am getting this one. I have been desperately looking for a printer that prints 12x12 because I will be printing out digital papers too! I am so glad I saw your video. Thank you so much for this review.
HI, I have a question I am between this artisan one and P400 from Epson, so the gloss optimizer will work only on gloss paper? what about cardstock? I dont think I need gloss optimizer for cardstock, I do?
Ken, I make cornhole boards and I was blown away with the fact that if you print on glossy (sticker paper backing) and go to a wood board and rub it on the wood it transfers. My question has to do with your mention of fast drying. Would you consider a test on some vinyl backing remnants and see if the ink remains viable for wood transfer? You can just try to apply to paper to determine the transferability. Ron...BTW great review, thank you.

You are awesome Ken - thank you for sharing. I've learned so much from you! I bought this printer because of your review and have also purchased OEM ink through the ebay site you shared. You ROCK!! Keep the tips coming ~ hugs
Thank you very much for showing and advice for other things. I have a question though. The image you printed,, are the color come out like on the monitor ? I 'm just worry about the color won't match. Any advices would be awesome!
Ken, thank you for all the videos that you do! I am looking at either the Canon Pixma Pro 100, Canon Pixma ip8720 or Epson xp-950 or Epson Artisan 1430. You mentioned that you researched many printers and that the Epson Artisan 1430 disappointed you on a few things. Would you be able to recommend any of the above, that is if you researched any of them. I am leaning more towards Canon. Have you encounter the print heads getting clogged on the Epson? I've owned only Epson and had a problem with this. Thanks in a advance for your help!
Jst2SwtInHawaii So far I have not had ANY clog heads. My other standard printer is a canon mg6200 and I love it. The Epson xp-950 is a great printer however it does not support 12X12 paper size which was a killer for me.
I have the 1430 and had the 1400 before that. I also have had a problem with clogged print heads. After the epson cleaning tool did not help Epson told me my printer cannot be fixed. Will never buy Epson again.
Ken a really great review. Boy I am earning so much about printers that I didn't know. Thank you for all the tips and tricks and links for papers. Thanks for showing how to find more help and info on using your printer and just a lot of information I never even thought about. I think the tips on ink is very helpful too. I'm looking for a good color printer and the last Epson I had was an old 600. I loved that printer and it did great photos but I started using cheap ink after years of spending tons of money and it slowly started having problems. I don't know if it was the ink or age but that printer lasted a long time and I was happy with it. So I do have a weakness for Epson. I'm going to watch this a few times and think about it. Thanks for a great review..Really appreciate it. pat.
Hi You have had this printer over a year now - do you still recommend this epson printer? I know you feel the colors are still good? I have an epson wf7610 - but the colors are not really good. I know its not my computer, the colors print true on other printers; but need to have the larger format printer. any insight would be greatly appreciated. I watch all your reviews. thanks for all your hardwork and videos.
+Kathleen Smith for me the colors work great. I have noticed contrary to my video that the actual Epson ink is a little bit higher quality and better color than third-party eat be using third-party ink this could be an issueAlso make sure to always clean your head and do the printer alignment this is a huge huge improvement
Thank you so much for this fabulous overview! I just ordered the printer and felt overwhelmed over how to set it up. Now, it will be a breeze for me when it comes. Have you considered a CISS ink system? Amazing review and tutorial.
Hi Ken! The video is helpfull, thanks a lot! I set up the pinter with ciss on it, drivers and software were set up on my camputer as well, but it doesn't print green and yellow colors??! would be really thankfull for some reply, thanks!
Hi Ken, i bought this printer after watching your review, thank you for doing this as choosing a printer is so hard, i just have one question, how do you get the images to print so vibrant on the cardstock paper?
Kens Kreations Thank you for the quick response, i have tried photo quality and lots of other ways. i bought 300gsm/110lb cardstock for the thickness of it but it prints really dull compared to matte or glossy paper, but in your video your prints look so vibrant and i cannot get it to work?
Awesome! Best presentation on the Epson artisan 1430 I have this printer But I also was looking for good color But Non OEM cartridges. What is the link to the Non OEM cartridges. And did you ever have clog print heads using the Non OEM cartridges. Reply?
Hi Ken, I know you said this printer does't have AirPrint, but have you had any luck printing from the Cricut App on your iPad? I was all set to purchase the Epson WF 7510 for the AirPrint, until a lot of folks started having issues printing on card stock now I am leaning to the Artisan. The only use of this printer will be with my Explore and photos. My HP printer takes 30 minutes to do the PTC images from DS, so I am missing out on all the fun.
thanks for the fantastic and thorough review! I bought the printer after seeing this and love it so far. question about the ink cartridges from eBay: mine arrived with a note saying that they can't be used in combination with epson cartridges. do you find this to be true, or no?
Thanks for the great information! I'm new to your Channel and contemplating getting a Silhouette Cameo and your videos have made me decide I definitely want one for Christmas! I loved your pics also :-)
Hello! I read a while back that it is always better to have a printer that feeds the paper from the top. The reason they gave was due to the different thicknesses you can find in paper. Top loading pushes the paper in as opposed to pulling the paper up. It also mentioned that top loading would help to avoid paper jams. I have owned 3 different printers all Epson. All three are still up and running. One of them was passed on to my granddaughter. My newest one I got only because of the wifi feature the other two are that old and do not have the wifi feature. My newest printer is also Epson was only $80 but prints out beautifully.
just a heads up: if you want to download ICC prfiles for this printer be aware that in some countries it's called photo stylus 1500 w, so some paper manufachturers will have listed this printer either as artisan or photostylus, but are the same printer
All About Art Wedding if you are printing on epson paper the ICC profiles are in the driver of the printer, or usually installed with the drivers, if you have other papers (hanamule, red river) simply go on their website and look for the icc profiles for the specific paper you have (google red river ICC). You'll be asked to select the printer you have and the paper you are using). If you are using canon paper that's bad luck, i don't think they make ICC profiles for epson printers. From that point on are you aware on how to choose the ICC profile when printing?
+Vittorio Sergi Thanks so much for the tips! I 'm planing using the epson printer. Do you have any idea if this printer works with epson fine art velvet paper ? Thanks again !
All About Art Wedding as long as it's profile its available in the driver/can be downloaded I think it'll do a fine job, granted it's more designed to print more on regular glossy, matte and lustr papers, usually manufachturer leave the best of technology regarding fine art papers to the higher end of their printers
Hello Ken, I have this printer also for a few years. I have not done digital papers yet. I would like to know if possible where do you purchase your digital papers. Thanks
Thank you Ken, your tutorial and information was very helpful I am so glad to hear that this printer is great. You are awesome and thanks for the tips on how to save on the ink refills. Wendy
great video... i got one a week ago... in one day, i wasted the light cyan and light magenta ink.. is it normal..? the other cartridges didn't go down as much as i thought it would... i printed all sorts of stuff for an art show... you think the profiles are wrong..?
yes... the cartridges... the light cyan and light magenta wasted super fast... well, i just installed a CISS with pigment ink, so i can't take a picture of it, but they were completely drained together... the other colors especially the magenta were not touched... i feel like it's using too much light magenta... although the colors are coming out on point... i'm printing out prints of canvas that i painted... all 4 prints have completely different colors to them...
I got this printer to print on printable heat transfer paper such as StarCraft or JetPro. Have you ever used it for that? Thanks for the awesome review.
Hey kens I got a new print to I have the Epson workforce wf-2540 that what I have and I love how it print my images out I got mind from Walmart for 79.99
Yes walmart had it on sale and belive me I just to that sale but I was looking at your videos and I like when you did the print your our pattern paper kens I want know can I did the same with mind printer kens
Great video, however, you did not mention the cd tray that came with it and that may confuse people (like it did me). I had to ask you about it when I bought the printer. Great review...love this printer.
Thank you so much for your review on this printer...I cannot find the 12 x 12 Textured Snow White Cardstock at Walmart? Do you know the brand name? or is there a different kind of 12x12 cardstock that I can print on? Also...will this Artisan 1430 print on chipboard? or is it easier to print on Cardstock and then mount that print to chipboard? Thank you for any of your input!
Kens Kreations Ken...I truly don't want to be a pest and appreciate your input...I have searched Walmart Online site for the 12x12 Textured Snow White Cardstock and just cannot find it...Do you mind providing me a link to that product? Thank you in advance!
If you want to print off your iPhone, you can download the Epson IPrint app free from the app store and it works great with any Epson printers through a wifi network.
Ken! I got the same Ebay ink that you got and the print colors are so so off. I am using a wide variety of colors. Do you use certain colors to make them look good with this ink? Stupid question, I know, but I am at my wit's end with Epson color management research.
Hi, Ken, I'm thinking about ordering this printer because my old hp ink does not dry when printing on the Cricut Printable Vinyl. Does the Epson Artisan 1430 do well on the Printable Vinyl?
Hi Ken, Thank you for all the great info. I love my printer! I have been searching for the seller you purchase your ink from on Ebay and can't find that seller. Are you buying from someone else? Thanks
Hey hello! I was wondering if I could ask you the brand of the 12 x 12 textured cardstock you showed. I'm having a difficult time finding it on walmarts website. Thanks!
Ken... I've searched on the 'net for the 12 x 12 cardstock you used ... can't find any anywhere, is there another brand you would recommend ? any particular weight I should look for? Great video btw ... hope to get my Artisan next month. regards, Graham
Kens Kreations "Once built, the Bay Pines Walmart complex will occupy 18.2 acres" - it's open now so I guess I'll have to see what I can find in there... thanks.
hi ken im trying to decide between the artisan1430 and the canon pixma ip8720. unfortunately i cant find many comparisons...do you have any thoughts on one over the other? my main goal is wide format and photos...with the side by side comparison the 2 seem pretty similar other than canon says prints faster...any thoughts are greatly appreciated!
Excellent work. Thank you. Really well done. And appreciated you showing which aftermarket inks you're using. Can't find that exact reseller on ebay anymore. Perhaps they changed their name? I did find another reseller with the same product title though. So I'll try those before I try CISS.
Have you seen any fading in the off brand inks? I am looking into doing prints of my watercolor art for shows but don't want to sell something that will fade in a year.
Hi, thank you so much for this video. I just ordered mine. Question- I ordered the sublimation kit to convert to use for heat press items. Do you know if it's mandatory to switch or can I just use regular ink and work the same? I hope you know because I haven't been able to find the answer. THANK YOU
Araceli F hello Araceli, I have same question. I want to heat press to a mug but not sure if u need certain paper or sublimation ink. Have you gotten any answers? Thank you
Two questions - I was confused where you said it has no USB.This printer allows you to connect to your PC via USB, does it not? I prefer not to use Wifi for printing. Also, are you saying this printer can print on cardstock? From what I know about inkjet printers, they typically do not print on cardstock correctly - the ink usually just smears onto the paper.
Kens Kreations Hey Ken. I got this printer, and when I ran out of ink I went to the seller you recommended on eBay and bought some replacement carts. After I installed them, I noticed that the Artisan stopped printing purple. I even printed a test page with the whole color spectrum and purple is completely missing! Did you encounter this problem?
I see you say this printer prints on cardstock but it does not for me. I have some tango 18pt c1s card stock and the ink just pools on top. I figured well maybe it is the coating and flipped it over and again it just pooled. I'm really bummed and will be returning this printer as my main goal was to be able to print boxes and this printer will not do the job. I do have some 15pt I could try but I doubt it will make a difference.
I am shocked as I can print on 150 # with no problem. I am thinking this is an error with the printer you might have as I know many people who have this printer. I apologize! Sorry that this one did not work out!
+Kens Kreations Maybe it is because you use textered? Maybe that absorbs the ink better. Try some coated material. Maybe there is something else I can use? I really needed to print on a material that would make nice boxes. I'm really surprised it didn't print well on the non-coated side, that makes no sense to me.
Hey I know you posted this video a long time ago. However, I got one of these printers and I’m not sure if it works and I don’t want to spend a bunch of money on ink just to find out it doesn’t work. Can u tell where I can get some cheap ink and parts
just got this machine yesterday i opened the box today lol in the printer underneath the ink bay there is this lil black pallet on a spring is that suppose to be loose mine is and i dont see where it have been broken off or anything i can easily remove the spring underneath and replace it, maybe im being a lil bit paranoid here seeing as i didn't buy it new however it looks clean and new. and also doing some ink and CISS hunting
Ken, thanks for the great review! You're awesome! Definitely looking at buying on of these. What digital scrapbook program do you use to create the 12x12 paper? Thank you
aloha ken, just wondering how is this to printing sublimation or transfer paper. do i have to have ciss ? and when i do have ciss with it. can i still use to print film positives for screen printing?? what are your suggestions. mahalo
Great job on your review, Ken! Now that you've owned it for 8 months, are you still happy with it? I am looking at this printer for the same reasons you wanted it; mainly printing digital paper and print & cut. Is the ink management doing okay, and the printer still functioning great? I've heard some negative comments, so I would love your feedback. The air print is a disappointment, but I can deal with it :) Thanks for your input!
Thanks for the feedback! I'm definitely going with this printer. The quality of print is just too good to pass up. I had seen that you bought your ink on eBay and made note of where. Last question, Do the ink cartridges you buy last as long as name brand, or do you think you have to buy more because they are off-brand? Thanks again!
Great video!!! Because of this video, I purchased this exact 1430 printer! Thanks so much for the info on where to buy the OEM print cartridges on ebay. I will save a fortune. Question, any leads on where I can buy really inexpensive canvas to print on? I'm just starting out, so any help would be much appreciated. God Bless!
Thank you so much. I've been researching forever on best printer for photos and digital prints and your detailed explanation made me decide. So glad i found your you tube channel and appreciate all your help. Im trying to go back and see all your videos and continue to learn.

You'll be asked to select the printer you have and the paper you are using).
If you are using canon paper that's bad luck, i don't think they make ICC profiles for epson printers.
From that point on are you aware on how to choose the ICC profile when printing?
+Vittorio Sergi Thanks so much for the tips! I 'm planing using the epson printer. Do you have any idea if this printer works with epson fine art velvet paper ? Thanks again !
All About Art Wedding as long as it's profile its available in the driver/can be downloaded I think it'll do a fine job, granted it's more designed to print more on regular glossy, matte and lustr papers, usually manufachturer leave the best of technology regarding fine art papers to the higher end of their printers
Hello Ken, I have this printer also for a few years. I have not done digital papers yet. I would like to know if possible where do you purchase your digital papers. Thanks
Thank you Ken, your tutorial and information was very helpful I am so glad to hear that this printer is great. You are awesome and thanks for the tips on how to save on the ink refills.
Wendy
+Wendy Kruse sounds great. thanks for watching
What about the printing of labels to your own dvds?
great video... i got one a week ago... in one day, i wasted the light cyan and light magenta ink.. is it normal..? the other cartridges didn't go down as much as i thought it would... i printed all sorts of stuff for an art show... you think the profiles are wrong..?
gumbii garcia so the ink that came with the printer
yes... the cartridges... the light cyan and light magenta wasted super fast... well, i just installed a CISS with pigment ink, so i can't take a picture of it, but they were completely drained together... the other colors especially the magenta were not touched... i feel like it's using too much light magenta... although the colors are coming out on point... i'm printing out prints of canvas that i painted... all 4 prints have completely different colors to them...
You are an awesome presenter! 👏👏👏
Thank you! 😃
Nice Job on this video! Thank you!!
Thanks for watching
I got this printer to print on printable heat transfer paper such as StarCraft or JetPro. Have you ever used it for that? Thanks for the awesome review.
Hey kens I got a new print to I have the Epson workforce wf-2540 that what I have and I love how it print my images out I got mind from Walmart for 79.99
dianne20010 WOW! That is an amazing price!!
Yes walmart had it on sale and belive me I just to that sale but I was looking at your videos and I like when you did the print your our pattern paper kens I want know can I did the same with mind printer kens
Great video, however, you did not mention the cd tray that came with it and that may confuse people (like it did me). I had to ask you about it when I bought the printer. Great review...love this printer.
Kathy Hanusa The CD Tray I showed in the beginning.......at least i thought I did.
This video gave me asmr the entire time
Thank you so much for your review on this printer...I cannot find the 12 x 12 Textured Snow White Cardstock at Walmart? Do you know the brand name? or is there a different kind of 12x12 cardstock that I can print on?
Also...will this Artisan 1430 print on chipboard? or is it easier to print on Cardstock and then mount that print to chipboard?
Thank you for any of your input!
***** have never tried chipboard and the brand of paper was colorblok
Kens Kreations Thank you so much Ken for your quick response...
Kens Kreations Ken...I truly don't want to be a pest and appreciate your input...I have searched Walmart Online site for the 12x12 Textured Snow White Cardstock and just cannot find it...Do you mind providing me a link to that product?
Thank you in advance!
Years later... What would you recommend now that's similar... with the issues fixed { the upgraded version }
If you want to print off your iPhone, you can download the Epson IPrint app free from the app store and it works great with any Epson printers through a wifi network.
+Arthur P i have recently learned about this app and LOVE IT!
+Kens Kreations oh great! Also wanted to ask does it print standard 8.5x11 sheets? I want to be able to just easily swap between that and 11x17 paper.
Thanks for the great video.
Can this printer print on uncoated stocks. such as 250-300gsm?
Xplode88 yes!
Just wondering if you still like this printer looking to purchase one and was taking this one into consideration is the better one out?
Jersey Angel Love this printer!!!
Hi Ken,
Have you used a CIS ink system ? I find it so hard to choose one , please help if you have an idea, love and hugs
+Nazli Bayar CIS ink system?
+Kens Kreations yes Ken
+Nazli Bayar by the way I just bought Epson Artisan 1430. I will have it after christmas, thank you xxx
thank you for paper, thinking of getting this printer have a wf 7610 but having trouble printing 12x12. so might go to this printer
Karla Triplett It is an amazing printer!!!
Awesome review ken. For some reason my printer did not come with adobe photo shop
Thanks for the video!! I just bought this and I'm a bit lost.
+Amy Arcos Oooh but you know what, mine didn't come with a Photoshop CD. I don't need it, but just mentioning.
+Amy Arcos That is an outrage! LOL
Ken! I got the same Ebay ink that you got and the print colors are so so off. I am using a wide variety of colors. Do you use certain colors to make them look good with this ink? Stupid question, I know, but I am at my wit's end with Epson color management research.
As always...awesome! Thanks Ken.
Hi, Ken, I'm thinking about ordering this printer because my old hp ink does not dry when printing on the Cricut Printable Vinyl. Does the Epson Artisan 1430 do well on the Printable Vinyl?
Donna Ferguson I have not only problem with drying on this printer on any medium
Hi Ken, Thank you for all the great info. I love my printer! I have been searching for the seller you purchase your ink from on Ebay and can't find that seller. Are you buying from someone else? Thanks
+MariYosh right now I am currently going to walmart. Just because mine had them on clearance
Great video! What kind of 12x12 paper you use for printing? Thanks
Hey hello! I was wondering if I could ask you the brand of the 12 x 12 textured cardstock you showed. I'm having a difficult time finding it on walmarts website. Thanks!
+Lenny Riccardi It is only found in store and it is designer snow
Ken... I've searched on the 'net for the 12 x 12 cardstock you used ... can't find any anywhere, is there another brand you would recommend ? any particular weight I should look for?
Great video btw ... hope to get my Artisan next month.
regards, Graham
So you have a Walmart by you? That is where I buy my 12x12 paper to print on:
Kens Kreations
"Once built, the Bay Pines Walmart complex will occupy 18.2 acres" - it's open now so I guess I'll have to see what I can find in there...
thanks.
How did you install Adobe? Also my wife will be using this for edible images do you think it will work great?
+Luis Lozano yes. adobe.com
great review video :) does this printer offer a borderless 8.5 by 11 option?
Kateroar yes
tksn :)
hi ken im trying to decide between the artisan1430 and the canon pixma ip8720. unfortunately i cant find many comparisons...do you have any thoughts on one over the other? my main goal is wide format and photos...with the side by side comparison the 2 seem pretty similar other than canon says prints faster...any thoughts are greatly appreciated!
mlarsen803 canon is really good. never used that but have always been happy with both.
Excellent work. Thank you. Really well done. And appreciated you showing which aftermarket inks you're using. Can't find that exact reseller on ebay anymore. Perhaps they changed their name? I did find another reseller with the same product title though. So I'll try those before I try CISS.
thanks for letting me know
Great video Ken! Question: are the inks acid-free?
+happymevids yes
Thank you. :)
have you tried print butterpapper with it ? i'm thinking to buy this printer but i need to make shure it works with butterpaper, thak's.
+Christian Muñoz not yet
Thanks so much! Very helpful review!
+stelres woot woot
Have you seen any fading in the off brand inks? I am looking into doing prints of my watercolor art for shows but don't want to sell something that will fade in a year.
+Katie Feld sadly a few that is why you do have to do research on comments from previous buyers
ok thanks so much for the reply! Loved the video! Printer still going strong after all this time?
Ken do you have a printer recommendation for 2015, thanks so much. Great videos as usual.
Kens a great video brother and thanks for uploading this fabulous video with a lot of details love it thanks once again brother .Abbas Khan.
thanks for watching
My pleasure brother.
Hi, thank you so much for this video. I just ordered mine. Question- I ordered the sublimation kit to convert to use for heat press items. Do you know if it's mandatory to switch or can I just use regular ink and work the same? I hope you know because I haven't been able to find the answer. THANK YOU
Araceli F hello Araceli, I have same question. I want to heat press to a mug but not sure if u need certain paper or sublimation ink. Have you gotten any answers? Thank you
Hi Ken!
Since its been a few years are you still using this printer or did you find a better one?
Two questions - I was confused where you said it has no USB.This printer allows you to connect to your PC via USB, does it not? I prefer not to use Wifi for printing.
Also, are you saying this printer can print on cardstock? From what I know about inkjet printers, they typically do not print on cardstock correctly - the ink usually just smears onto the paper.
***** yes you can print using a USB and it does great with card stock. I print all the time on 110lb
Kens Kreations Hey Ken. I got this printer, and when I ran out of ink I went to the seller you recommended on eBay and bought some replacement carts. After I installed them, I noticed that the Artisan stopped printing purple. I even printed a test page with the whole color spectrum and purple is completely missing! Did you encounter this problem?
Thanks great review I will be buying one
+John Thomas Awesome!
I'M CONSIDERING THIS PRINTER...THANKS FOR YOUR VIDEO...WOULD HAVE LOVED TO SEE YOU SHOW HOW TO CREATE DESIGN ON CD/DVD.
Awesome video as usual.
Jocelan Perry You are so so sweet. I adore you!
I see you say this printer prints on cardstock but it does not for me. I have some tango 18pt c1s card stock and the ink just pools on top. I figured well maybe it is the coating and flipped it over and again it just pooled. I'm really bummed and will be returning this printer as my main goal was to be able to print boxes and this printer will not do the job. I do have some 15pt I could try but I doubt it will make a difference.
I am shocked as I can print on 150 # with no problem. I am thinking this is an error with the printer you might have as I know many people who have this printer. I apologize! Sorry that this one did not work out!
+Kens Kreations Maybe it is because you use textered? Maybe that absorbs the ink better. Try some coated material. Maybe there is something else I can use? I really needed to print on a material that would make nice boxes. I'm really surprised it didn't print well on the non-coated side, that makes no sense to me.
Hi ken i have where do you buy your digital paper.
ivette delgado halegrafx.com and www.sassy-designs.net/shop/
The ink that you showed was it $8 per cartridge or for the whole set of six?
themiphyman for the entire set of 6
That incredibly cheap! You say that you use these and they work fine?
Hi again. I went to print a photo today on Kodak paper. And the Ink was super wet on the paper and smeared. Any idea to what I'm doing wrong?
***** weird question but your photo paper is face up? and you are setting it to photo paper?
+BeautyByBee YOUR MISTAKE WAS BUYING EPSOM. THEY ARE CRAP
+sundayraver Ya know, if you're going to keep ragging on something, at least spell the name right. Unless you're talking about soaking.
Hey I know you posted this video a long time ago. However, I got one of these printers and I’m not sure if it works and I don’t want to spend a bunch of money on ink just to find out it doesn’t work. Can u tell where I can get some cheap ink and parts
just got this machine yesterday i opened the box today lol
in the printer underneath the ink bay there is this lil black pallet on a spring is that suppose to be loose mine is and i dont see where it have been broken off or anything i can easily remove the spring underneath and replace it, maybe im being a lil bit paranoid here seeing as i didn't buy it new however it looks clean and new. and also doing some ink and CISS hunting
hmm...not sure. Sorry I would call the manufacture.
Hello,
Can this printer, prints in white color, for dark t-shirts?
thanks
+Marco Antonio Castro sure can
oh, also wanted you to know that I purchase my silhouette supplies thru your link above. thanks again.
+Kathleen Smith thank you so much that's awesome
You should try the refillable cartridges they are much cheaper even than the non oem cartridges.. same results and at pennies a print.
Yeah I have been looking into these
Bill Wren would you happen to have a recommended CIS (continuous in system)? Thanks...
Ken, thanks for the great review! You're awesome! Definitely looking at buying on of these. What digital scrapbook program do you use to create the 12x12 paper? Thank you
Michelle Mitchell the epson 1430 software has one built in.
aloha ken, just wondering how is this to printing sublimation or transfer paper. do i have to have ciss ? and when i do have ciss with it. can i still use to print film positives for screen printing?? what are your suggestions. mahalo
Great job on your review, Ken! Now that you've owned it for 8 months, are you still happy with it? I am looking at this printer for the same reasons you wanted it; mainly printing digital paper and print & cut. Is the ink management doing okay, and the printer still functioning great? I've heard some negative comments, so I would love your feedback. The air print is a disappointment, but I can deal with it :) Thanks for your input!
Virginia Polson Love mine, the only negative comment I have is the ink is expensive however i buy mine on ebays. Just read comments on the printer.
Thanks for the feedback! I'm definitely going with this printer. The quality of print is just too good to pass up. I had seen that you bought your ink on eBay and made note of where. Last question, Do the ink cartridges you buy last as long as name brand, or do you think you have to buy more because they are off-brand? Thanks again!
Can this printer be configured to use only cmyk instead of cmyklclm?
***** cmyk?
Kens Kreations
Cyan Magenta Yellow Black (k = black I guess lol)
Cyan Magenta Yellow Black Light Cyan Light Magenta
how good does it print very small prints? I need one to print small prints...prints around 8mm
EXCELLENT!!!!
So you the free adobe photoshop software when u purchase the printer?
+Captian_Angel yess!
+Kens Kreations Will this print Tabloid 11x17? I would assume it does
It says that the machine could print a 13x 44. Is that possible If say I have the right size paper?
+Deane Marks i have never found it but have found paper on a roll and that would work
hello I purchased this from someone online. and it didn't come with any cds or anything. am I still able to download photoshop elements?
***** yes go to the manufactures website and instal
Great video!!! Because of this video, I purchased this exact 1430 printer! Thanks so much for the info on where to buy the OEM print cartridges on ebay. I will save a fortune. Question, any leads on where I can buy really inexpensive canvas to print on? I'm just starting out, so any help would be much appreciated. God Bless!
Awesome!
Ken do you still like this printer? Did it hold up (is it still working)?
