It has two USB 2.0 ports on the back Epson says that the two ports are not daisy-chained, but are instead designed to let you use the printer with two computers (a laptop and a desktop, for example). In addition to the standard paper input tray, the R1900 supports up to 13-inch rolls and has an input tray for handling thicker fine art papers, as well as a CD tray for printing on inkjet-compatible discs. The R1900’s print handling appears to be as good as that of the R2400: it will print photos from 4″ by 6″ to 13″ by 44″, and supports borderless printing at most of the popular sizes. As the printhead moves across the page, the beads will agitate the ink, helping to keep the pigment particles from clumping. ![]() One other enhancement designed to help clogging: the R1900’s ink cartridges will have tiny glass beads in them, similar to those found in cans of spray paint. In the release notes, Epson claims that this will keep the inside of the printer much cleaner, but we also believe that the mist-collection system, which uses negative and positive charges to move any overspray to the absorption sponge, will also help reduce clogging. A new mist-collection system is also in place, to help minimize ink spray during the printing process. The coating is designed to help reduce clogging and ensures precise dot placement over time. EPSON STYLUS PHOTO 1400 PRINTHEAD REPLACEMENT PROThe R1900’s printhead has been coated with an ink-repelling coating, similar to the one in the x880 line of Stylus Pro printers introduced earlier this year. Epson claims that the orange ink, which replaces blue in the original Hi-Gloss inks, increases the printer’s overall gamut and provides improved flesh tones, while the new formulations of magenta and yellow inks improve the blues and greens, respectively, in most prints. The R1900 uses a reformulated inkset, called UltraChrome Hi-Gloss 2, consisting of eight individual inks: the gloss optimizer, matte and photo black, and cyan, magenta, yellow, red and orange. In place of the R2400’s light black and light light black inks, the R1900 has a gloss optimizer cartridge that sprays a clear overcoat on top of glossy media, producing a “superglossy” print that lacks the bronzing or dullness found in glossy prints made with most pigment-based printers. Unlike the pricier Stylus Photo R2400, which is best known for its black-and-white printing capabilities (and its voracious appetite for ink), the R1900 is designed primarily to produce optimal color prints. EPSON STYLUS PHOTO 1400 PRINTHEAD REPLACEMENT PROFESSIONALEpson today announced the Stylus Photo R1900, a $550, B-size (13″ by 19″) desktop printer with pigment-based inks, advanced paper-handling capabilities and productivity features aimed at serious amateurs and professional photographers.
