A quick look at the differences between the Stylus Photo 1400 and its 

popular predecessor, the Stylus Photo 1290.

Although the Stylus Photo 1400 and the Stylus 

Photo 1290 are both 6-colour printers with A3+ 

size paper handling, the Stylus Photo 1400 offers 

significant performance advantages. In terms of 

print quality, the Stylus Photo 1400 boasts a 

minimum droplet size of 1.5 picolitres, vs. 4 

picolitres for the Stylus Photo 1290. The most 

pronounced difference, however, is in the Stylus 

Photo 1400 Claria photographic ink and improved 

MicroPiezo print head. Not only does Claria ink 

offer far superior fade-resistance, the improved 

print head assures smoother gradations and 

approximately 1.5 times the throughput speed at 

equivalent resolution. In addition, the Stylus Photo 

1400 offers the cost efficiency of individual ink 

cartridges, whereas the Stylus Photo 1290 uses a 

single ink cartridge for all colours except black.

A quick look at the differences between the Stylus Photo 1400 and the 

Stylus Photo R1800.

The primary differences between the Stylus Photo 

1400 and the Stylus Photo R1800 are attributable 

to the inks they use. Where the Stylus Photo 1400 

uses dye-based Claria photographic ink, the Stylus 

Photo R1800 uses pigment-based Ultrachrome 

Hi-Gloss ink that offers a wider colour gamut and  

better archival life, as well as excellent short-term 

colour stability. In addition, the Stylus Photo 

R1800 accepts roll and fine art paper, and 

because it has twice as many ink nozzles, it prints 

much faster. The affordable Stylus Photo 1400 

may be a more attractive choice for amateur 

photographers and business users with general 

colour printing needs, but for users who are 

serious about photography, and want the finest, 

most fade-resistant print quality, the Stylus R1800 

is the printer of choice.
