The Epson Stylus Photo R1400 is supported in ZoroPrint (not yet verified on hardware), on Mac, Windows and Linux. It is the same printer that is sold as the 1410 in some regions, and one profile covers both names. You need a DTF conversion with white in the light cyan and light magenta tanks, a USB cable and a ZoroPrint account.
One printer, two names: R1400 and 1410
The R1400 and the 1410 are the same A3+ printer, 329 mm wide, sold under different names in different regions. When you buy one used, search for both names. Listings may say “R1400”, “R1410”, “Stylus Photo 1400” or “Stylus Photo 1410”. ZoroPrint treats all four as the same machine. When the printer reports any of them, the RIP selects the profile “Epson Stylus Photo R1400 / 1410” and shows a short notice.
This printer also gives the head family its name. In the RIP, the R1390, R1400 / 1410 and Artisan 1430 share one head definition, called “1400”. It follows Gutenprint’s model 82, which lists the 1400, 1410 and Artisan 1430.
What the conversion changes
A DTF kit puts white ink in the light cyan and light magenta positions. Cyan, magenta, yellow and black stay in their own places. That gives two channels of white, so the RIP can print colour and white in one pass. Follow the kit’s instructions for the conversion. We give no firmware advice. A conversion is done at your own risk and ends Epson’s warranty.
After the conversion, print the channel test on film. On the R1400 / 1410 profile the ink table runs LC, LM, M, C, K, Y. Blocks 1 and 2 should print white, then magenta, cyan, black and yellow. If they do not, your kit uses another layout. “Wrong colours? Diagnose” in the Printer tab rewrites the mapping from what you saw.
Where to start: the RIP defaults
| What | Starting value |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 1440 × 720 (720 × 720 and 1440 × 1440 also offered) |
| Cyan / magenta ink limit | 80 % each |
| Yellow / black ink limit | 70 % each |
| Total ink limit | 200 % |
| White density | 80 %, from LC + LM |
| White choke | 0.1 mm, smart choke on |
| GCR | 60 % |
| Screening / layer order | Error diffusion / colour first, white on top |
The head has the same 90 nozzles and the same six channels as the L1800. The RIP still drives it differently. Model 82 has its own dot sizes, and above 720 dpi it prints in 360 dpi passes. The L1800 at 1440 dpi does not. These 1400-family modes are not yet confirmed on a physical printer, so the profile is marked as not verified. The app says so too: “Uses the nearest Epson head definition. Run a nozzle check and a small test first.”
- Print a nozzle check on film. All six rows must be complete.
- Print the channel test and check blocks 1 to 6.
- Print one small test sheet at 1440 × 720 with a gradient, fine text and a solid white area.
- Send us a photo of what you see, good or bad. That is how this family gets verified.
Known trouble spots on the R1400 / 1410
- A used photo printer with an old head. A head that sat with dried ink may never print reliable white. Ask the seller for a nozzle check printout.
- The wrong name in a listing. A “1410” is not a different model. It uses the same profile, the same kit layout and the same settings.
- White in the light channels. If the white rows of the nozzle check break, clean once and check again. Do not chain cleanings.
- White settling. White pigment settles in days. Stir daily and print a purge strip every 2–3 days. See white ink care.
- Fine horizontal lines. No bidirectional correction has been measured on this family yet. Try Bidirectional off first, then follow the banding guide.
Systems, connection and licence
- macOS 13 or later, on Apple Silicon and Intel; Windows 10 and 11, 64-bit; Linux x64 (.deb or AppImage).
- Connect by USB. The connection guide covers each system.
- The RIP sends the job itself, so no Epson driver is needed for the job. There is no dongle.
- The licence is tied to your account, not to a USB key.
- Free needs an internet connection for each print. Paid plans print up to 30 days offline. See pricing.
Same family, other pages
The R1390 and the Artisan 1430 / Stylus Photo 1500W share this head, these modes and this ink layout. The L1800 has the same head family and width, but different modes above 720 dpi and white in M + C by default. For maintenance, keep the daily routine close.

- My printer says 1410, not R1400. Which profile do I pick?
- Pick “Epson Stylus Photo R1400 / 1410”. It is one profile for both names, and the RIP usually picks it for you when the printer reports either one.
- Is the R1400 the same as the L1800 for the RIP?
- No. The head and channels are the same, but the RIP uses model 82’s dot sizes and 360 dpi passes above 720 dpi. Settings that work on an L1800 are a starting point, not a guarantee.
- Why is the R1400 not verified yet?
- The RIP drives it, but its print modes are not yet confirmed on a physical printer. A channel test and a test sheet from your printer help us confirm them.
- Do I need the Epson driver installed?
- Not for the job. ZoroPrint sends the print data to the printer itself.
