tives on media up to 13” wide. e printable area is 12.5” in width by 19” in length. Below are
some tips to assist in printing with the Epson R1400 printer and FastRIP.
in k
e Epson Stylus Photo R1400 printer is shipped from the factory with UltraChrome (Pigment)
inks. UltraChrome ink will ONLY work on waterproof film when printing film positives. Ultra-
Chrome ink will NOT adhere or dry on standard film transparencies.
However, U.S. Screen Print & Inkjet Technology has developed a dye based ink that will work
with your printer when printing transparencies. is ink is called FastINK and it can be used
to replace the UltraChrome Black cartridge. e Black ink is the only cartridge that need be
replaced since film positives are only printed in black.
