Ink2image Bulk Ink Feed Systems for the Epson Photo 1400

The Ink2image bulk ink feed system for the Epson Photo 1400 features top fill and bottom feed pressure regulating reservoirs, laboratory quality feed tubing, spongeless print head adaptors, and auto reset ink level monitoring chips. Systems are supplied empty, or including a set of 4 oz ink bottles. Several ink options are available with the bulk ink feed system for the Epson Photo 1400. The i2i Absolute Match E2 inks provide a close color match to the original Epson Claria inks, but with no claims of enhanced fade resistance - they have the archival life of a normal dye based ink. The E2 inks provide excellent color and an economical ink solution for users who are not concerned about the long term display life of their images. For longer archival life, the latest Lyson Fotonic XG inks are color matched to the Claria inks and have the same type of enhanced fade resistance. A third option for Epson 1400 owners is to consider converting the printer to run the Lyson Cave Paint R24 pigment inks. These inks provide great color combined with extremely long archival life, and essentially turn the 1400 into a 13 inch wide true pigment printer at several hundred dollars savings over the normal Epson 13 inch wide pigment ink models. Ink2image supplies systems for the Epson Photo 1400 that come with 6 x 4 oz bottles of the R24 inks. Two black options are available - Photo Black for printing on all media types, and Matte black for getting the deepest, richest blacks on matte or fine art papers.
