At first I was a bit taken back by the new Artisan tag Epson gave this printer, assuming these were only assigned to the lower end consumer models and all-in-one devices. The Artisan 1430 is the replacement for the Stylus 1400. In the case of the Artisan 1430, Epson is claiming up to 200 years in storage, and 98 years on display - rivaling pigment based systems for durability. These differences are not as obvious as they once were though, with dyes making great strides in longevity, as well as the types of media they can print on. While pigments have historically had the reputation of longer print life, dye inks have had the advantage of producing more vibrant colors. There are two basic types of inkjet printers available - dye based, and pigment based. With three printers available from Canon, and four models, including the Artisan 1430 reviewed here, from Epson, there is a wide range of choice in both features and price. If you’ve been considering the move to a 13-inch wide printer, the options have never been better.
