Epson Stylus Photo 1400 Printer Review
Thursday, April 12th, 2007It’s been a long six years since Epson last updated the 13-inch dye-based model in its popular Stylus Photo line of photo printers.

At $150, the entry-level Pal serves up a more limited feature set and slower print speeds than the other two PictureMate printers.
