Hmmm. I've never seen one and am sorry I mentioned it. However, I am
unable to reconcile your description with that of Vincent Oliver of

The one thing that strikes me with the Epson Stylus Photo 1400 is the
build quality, it is first class. There is a lot of attention to small
detail and the quality of components seems to be of a high standard.
Many of the printers I have tested recently have kept the costs down by
compromising on essential parts, and as a result I have seem floppy
output trays and flimsy rear paper guide etc. I will cover the printer
in use later in this review, but for this section I will take a quick
overview on the features and parts.
