Hi Ken, I am sorry to say I have owned this printer over 2 1/2 yrs and have never used it as a wide format printer, because it came without the manual. I'm not very techy and I just gave up. Its been a dust collector! But, thanks to you I will give it a try. I learned so much today. I just got back from Jordan so I need to print a lot of spectacular photos and made be this printer will redeem itself with me. The first thing I will do is download the manual and get new ink. The Adobe Photoshop expired and they want me to buy it now, but maybe I will if the printer is worth it. I'm jumping in thanks to you. As always thanks Ken.

[@KensKreations]

amb7412 YEAH!!!!

[@pjalbert6395]

Ken, may i, thank you for an excellent presentation that answered all the important questions.

Earthbound awewome

[@Emmy6099]

Thank you so much. I've been researching forever on best printer for photos and digital prints and your detailed explanation made me decide. So glad i found your you tube channel and appreciate all your help. Im trying to go back and see all your videos and continue to learn.

[@karolina-3881]

Ken, thank you for your thorough and wonderful review! I've been looking for a budget-friendly printer for a digital printing business I'm starting up in the near future. All of my research also lead me to this model, but it was great to have a thorough video review of it and to see examples of the actual prints, as well as ink supplier suggestions. Thanks for your time and thoughts.

[@KensKreations]

Karolina - you bet

[@lloydy187]

Thankyou very much for this awesome review! I just brought this printer myself but its called the 1500w in the u.k but there wasn't many reviews this in depth so looked up the u.s name and found your video! Hope you are happy with the printer, can't wait to get mine :)

[@KensKreations]

+Lloyd Hart great printer

[@KensKreations]

[@adventurouscraftymom9792]

My husband just bought me this printer today I can't wait to use it. Thanks for the review

[@KensKreations]

Enjoy!!

[@MADossat]

Video was very helpful, thank you! I just bought this printer to replace my Epson R300. I'm excited to hook it up and give it a try.

[@KensKreations]

Printer is amazing

[@kaytaylor7503]

Great video! Solved my problems with color; never thought of printing with photo paper setting. I do wedding invitations - print to the edge and they are perfect. My problem was rich colors now solved. Thanks so much Ken!

[@aurell623]

Ken great review I have been thinking about getting a 12x12 printer, I appreciate the information! I am a new subscriber and love your channel lots of great information!

[@KensKreations]

angel wingz Awesome Thanks!

[@joebot33]

Thanks so much for this video! I've been using an Epson 1280 and I need to replace it. This is exactly what i've been looking for, great review! Thanks so much.

[@KensKreations]

joebot33 Awesome glad you enjoyed it!

[@jaimewolowidnyk699]

I just bought this printer after watching this video, I'm in love with it! Thank you for a great video :)

[@kimberlyholman174]

I bought this printer last year and have loved it. Was worried that it might eat ink at a fast rate, but have been pleasantly surprised. I also highly recommend it and was glad to see that you had the same results. I did want to say, however, that you can still print from an iphone by using the Epson iprint app.

[@KensKreations]

Kimberly Holman I have been very happy on how much of the ink it uses and the fact that i have not had to replace yet

[@louiseluna7375]

Hello! I read a while back that it is always better to have a printer that feeds the paper from the top. The reason they gave was due to the different thicknesses you can find in paper. Top loading pushes the paper in as opposed to pulling the paper up. It also mentioned that top loading would help to avoid paper jams. I have owned 3 different printers all Epson. All three are still up and running. One of them was passed on to my granddaughter. My newest one I got only because of the wifi feature the other two are that old and do not have the wifi feature. My newest printer is also Epson was only $80 but prints out beautifully.

[@KensKreations]

Louise Luna That is great information!! I have not heard that!

[@cyanoxicrose]

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! Ugh I have been researching wide format printers for years and was having a hard time trying to figure out which one I wanted. My choices were the Epson P400 and Canon Pixma PRO 100. Since the Canon does not support 12x12 and the P400 has the gloss optimizer (plus the color choices are not good in my opinion), I am getting this one. I have been desperately looking for a printer that prints 12x12 because I will be printing out digital papers too! I am so glad I saw your video. Thank you so much for this review.

[@KensKreations]

Thanks for watching!! Don't Forget To Subscribe: : bit.ly/1MnKcNn

[@gabyrobbins8021]

HI, I have a question I am between this artisan one and P400 from Epson, so the gloss optimizer will work only on gloss paper? what about cardstock? I dont think I need gloss optimizer for cardstock, I do?

[@AcappellaSinga]

Thank you so much for this video, answered a lot of my questions. Was recommended by my teacher, will be happily purchasing now :3

[@KensKreations]

Mochi Kitten AWESOME!!!

[@ronboudreau5357]

Ken, I make cornhole boards and I was blown away with the fact that if you print on glossy (sticker paper backing) and go to a wood board and rub it on the wood it transfers. My question has to do with your mention of fast drying. Would you consider a test on some vinyl backing remnants and see if the ink remains viable for wood transfer? You can just try to apply to paper to determine the transferability. Ron...BTW great review, thank you.

[@KensKreations]

Nikkimonroe813 awesome thanks

[@amyarcos3175]

Thanks for the video!! I just bought this and I'm a bit lost.

[@amyarcos3175]

+Amy Arcos Oooh but you know what, mine didn't come with a Photoshop CD. I don't need it, but just mentioning.

[@KensKreations]

+Amy Arcos That is an outrage! LOL

[@amyarcos3175]

Ken! I got the same Ebay ink that you got and the print colors are so so off. I am using a wide variety of colors. Do you use certain colors to make them look good with this ink? Stupid question, I know, but I am at my wit's end with Epson color management research.

[@lyonsden101]

Thank you so much for this fabulous overview! I just ordered the printer and felt overwhelmed over how to set it up. Now, it will be a breeze for me when it comes. Have you considered a CISS ink system? Amazing review and tutorial.

[@pattiepan]

Ken a really great review. Boy I am earning so much about printers that I didn't know. Thank you for all the tips and tricks and links for papers. Thanks for showing how to find more help and info on using your printer and just a lot of information I never even thought about. I think the tips on ink is very helpful too. I'm looking for a good color printer and the last Epson I had was an old 600. I loved that printer and it did great photos but I started using cheap ink after years of spending tons of money and it slowly started having problems. I don't know if it was the ink or age but that printer lasted a long time and I was happy with it. So I do have a weakness for Epson. I'm going to watch this a few times and think about it. Thanks for a great review..Really appreciate it. pat.

[@KensKreations]

Pat Posk Thanks So much!

[@queenjanjan2010]

Thanks for the great information! I'm new to your Channel and contemplating getting a Silhouette Cameo and your videos have made me decide I definitely want one for Christmas! I loved your pics also :-)

[@stelres]

Thanks so much! Very helpful review!

[@KensKreations]

+stelres woot woot

[@kathyhanusa8956]

Great video, however, you did not mention the cd tray that came with it and that may confuse people (like it did me). I had to ask you about it when I bought the printer. Great review...love this printer.

[@KensKreations]

Kathy Hanusa The CD Tray I showed in the beginning.......at least i thought I did.

[@suecollins3333]

Awesome video Ken.

[@KensKreations]

Sue Collins Awesome Thanks!!

[@wendykruse3140]

Thank you Ken, your tutorial and information was very helpful I am so glad to hear that this printer is great. You are awesome and thanks for the tips on how to save on the ink refills. Wendy

[@KensKreations]

+Wendy Kruse sounds great. thanks for watching

[@ghettofamaDMV]

Great review! Ordered mine today . I'm looking to use it mainly on heat transfers ...

[@kathleensmith5851]

oh, also wanted you to know that I purchase my silhouette supplies thru your link above. thanks again.

[@KensKreations]

+Kathleen Smith thank you so much that's awesome

[@gladyspagan-ramdas3724]

You are awesome Ken - thank you for sharing. I've learned so much from you! I bought this printer because of your review and have also purchased OEM ink through the ebay site you shared. You ROCK!! Keep the tips coming ~ hugs

[@THEMRSYCAMORE]

I'M CONSIDERING THIS PRINTER...THANKS FOR YOUR VIDEO...WOULD HAVE LOVED TO SEE YOU SHOW HOW TO CREATE DESIGN ON CD/DVD.

[@dianne20010]

Hey kens I got a new print to I have the Epson workforce wf-2540 that what I have and I love how it print my images out I got mind from Walmart for 79.99

[@KensKreations]

dianne20010 WOW! That is an amazing price!!

[@dianne20010]

Yes walmart had it on sale and belive me I just to that sale but I was looking at your videos and I like when you did the print your our pattern paper kens I want know can I did the same with mind printer kens

[@VittorioSergi]

just a heads up: if you want to download ICC prfiles for this printer be aware that in some countries it's called photo stylus 1500 w, so some paper manufachturers will have listed this printer either as artisan or photostylus, but are the same printer

[@KensKreations]

Great info thanks so much!!

[@allaboutartwedding8517]

+Vittorio Sergi can you give me some advice, where can I download this ice profile? Thank you so much !

[@VittorioSergi]

All About Art Wedding if you are printing on epson paper the ICC profiles are in the driver of the printer, or usually installed with the drivers, if you have other papers (hanamule, red river) simply go on their website and look for the icc profiles for the specific paper you have (google red river ICC). You'll be asked to select the printer you have and the paper you are using). If you are using canon paper that's bad luck, i don't think they make ICC profiles for epson printers. From that point on are you aware on how to choose the ICC profile when printing?

[@allaboutartwedding8517]

+Vittorio Sergi Thanks so much for the tips! I 'm planing using the epson printer. Do you have any idea if this printer works with epson fine art velvet paper ? Thanks again !

[@VittorioSergi]

All About Art Wedding as long as it's profile its available in the driver/can be downloaded I think it'll do a fine job, granted it's more designed to print more on regular glossy, matte and lustr papers, usually manufachturer leave the best of technology regarding fine art papers to the higher end of their printers

[@johnthomas1919]

Thanks great review I will be buying one

[@KensKreations]

+John Thomas Awesome!

[@richardlopez9948]

Awesome review ken. For some reason my printer did not come with adobe photo shop

[@arthurp19]

If you want to print off your iPhone, you can download the Epson IPrint app free from the app store and it works great with any Epson printers through a wifi network.

[@KensKreations]

+Arthur P i have recently learned about this app and LOVE IT!

[@arthurp19]

+Kens Kreations oh great! Also wanted to ask does it print standard 8.5x11 sheets? I want to be able to just easily swap between that and 11x17 paper.

[@kimsalito2188]

Hi Ken, I know you said this printer does't have AirPrint, but have you had any luck printing from the Cricut App on your iPad? I was all set to purchase the Epson WF 7510 for the AirPrint, until a lot of folks started having issues printing on card stock now I am leaning to the Artisan. The only use of this printer will be with my Explore and photos. My HP printer takes 30 minutes to do the PTC images from DS, so I am missing out on all the fun.

[@KensKreations]

Kim Salito This printery has worked great for me. Very Y happy with it

[@owinonyakiti]

You are an awesome presenter! 👏👏👏

[@KensKreations]

Thank you! 😃

[@naysworld]

As always...awesome! Thanks Ken.

[@karlatriplett9213]

thank you for paper, thinking of getting this printer have a wf 7610 but having trouble printing 12x12. so might go to this printer

[@KensKreations]

Karla Triplett It is an amazing printer!!!

[@Jst2SwtInHawaii]

Ken, thank you for all the videos that you do! I am looking at either the Canon Pixma Pro 100, Canon Pixma ip8720 or Epson xp-950 or Epson Artisan 1430. You mentioned that you researched many printers and that the Epson Artisan 1430 disappointed you on a few things. Would you be able to recommend any of the above, that is if you researched any of them. I am leaning more towards Canon. Have you encounter the print heads getting clogged on the Epson? I've owned only Epson and had a problem with this. Thanks in a advance for your help!

[@KensKreations]

Jst2SwtInHawaii So far I have not had ANY clog heads. My other standard printer is a canon mg6200 and I love it. The Epson xp-950 is a great printer however it does not support 12X12 paper size which was a killer for me.

[@Jst2SwtInHawaii]

Thank you for taking the time to reply! I hadn't realized the Epson XP-950, thank you for pointing that out. Have a wonderful day!

[@annsoule1717]

I have the 1430 and had the 1400 before that. I also have had a problem with clogged print heads. After the epson cleaning tool did not help Epson told me my printer cannot be fixed. Will never buy Epson again.

[@rrunnr]

Awesome video as usual.

[@KensKreations]

Jocelan Perry You are so so sweet. I adore you!

[@TheDJSUMPTON]

Hi Ken, i bought this printer after watching your review, thank you for doing this as choosing a printer is so hard, i just have one question, how do you get the images to print so vibrant on the cardstock paper?

[@KensKreations]

Darryl Bingham When printing choose "photo quality" for your print qualitiy

[@TheDJSUMPTON]

Kens Kreations Thank you for the quick response, i have tried photo quality and lots of other ways. i bought 300gsm/110lb cardstock for the thickness of it but it prints really dull compared to matte or glossy paper, but in your video your prints look so vibrant and i cannot get it to work?

[@crftgrl8149]

Ken it is like you were spying on my Christmas list!!

[@KensKreations]

Tara Martinez That is what I do!!!

[@okinawajapan1]

Excellent work. Thank you. Really well done. And appreciated you showing which aftermarket inks you're using. Can't find that exact reseller on ebay anymore. Perhaps they changed their name? I did find another reseller with the same product title though. So I'll try those before I try CISS.

[@KensKreations]

thanks for letting me know

[@abbaskhan6238]

Kens a great video brother and thanks for uploading this fabulous video with a lot of details love it thanks once again brother .Abbas Khan.

[@KensKreations]

thanks for watching

[@abbaskhan6238]

My pleasure brother.

[@Max_Sel]

Hi Ken! The video is helpfull, thanks a lot! I set up the pinter with ciss on it, drivers and software were set up on my camputer as well, but it doesn't print green and yellow colors??! would be really thankfull for some reply, thanks!

[@kmaaron1]

Thanks I'm sold.

[@seanmark5135]

Great Information. Thank you very much.

[@KensKreations]

thanks for watching

[@jerseyangel8720]

Just wondering if you still like this printer looking to purchase one and was taking this one into consideration is the better one out?

[@KensKreations]

Jersey Angel Love this printer!!!

[@THEMRSYCAMORE]

HAVE THE THIRD PARTY INKS CAUSED YOU ANY CLOGGING...I BOUGHT THIRD PARTY INK FOR ANOTHER EPSON PRINTER THAT I OWNED AND AFTER USING THE INK ON MY SECOND REPLACEMENT, IT WOULD NOT PRINT PROPERLY BECAUSE OF THE THIRD PARTY INK...I ASK BECAUSE THIS IS NOT A CHEAP PRINTER AND THE EPSON INK WOULD BE VERY HIGH.

[@dianne20010]

Do you have a video on how to print out your own pattern paper kens

[@KensKreations]

dianne20010 This video shows this

[@dianne20010]

Okay I take a look at again

[@simplelife1966]

You should try the refillable cartridges they are much cheaper even than the non oem cartridges.. same results and at pennies a print.

[@KensKreations]

Yeah I have been looking into these

[@cyanoxicrose]

Bill Wren would you happen to have a recommended CIS (continuous in system)? Thanks...

[@sinfulsxx9866]

Awesome! Best presentation on the Epson artisan 1430 I have this printer But I also was looking for good color But Non OEM cartridges. What is the link to the Non OEM cartridges. And did you ever have clog print heads using the Non OEM cartridges. Reply?

[@Noone-xh8tp]

Ken do you have a printer recommendation for 2015, thanks so much. Great videos as usual.

[@ldinatale1]

I got this printer to print on printable heat transfer paper such as StarCraft or JetPro. Have you ever used it for that? Thanks for the awesome review.

[@kathleensmith5851]

Hi You have had this printer over a year now - do you still recommend this epson printer? I know you feel the colors are still good? I have an epson wf7610 - but the colors are not really good. I know its not my computer, the colors print true on other printers; but need to have the larger format printer. any insight would be greatly appreciated. I watch all your reviews. thanks for all your hardwork and videos.

[@KensKreations]

+Kathleen Smith for me the colors work great. I have noticed contrary to my video that the actual Epson ink is a little bit higher quality and better color than third-party eat be using third-party ink this could be an issueAlso make sure to always clean your head and do the printer alignment this is a huge huge improvement

[@mamitch512]

Ken, thanks for the great review! You're awesome! Definitely looking at buying on of these. What digital scrapbook program do you use to create the 12x12 paper? Thank you

[@KensKreations]

Michelle Mitchell the epson 1430 software has one built in.

[@milliescreations6753]

Hello Ken, I have this printer also for a few years. I have not done digital papers yet. I would like to know if possible where do you purchase your digital papers. Thanks

[@abigailmaulion4962]

thanks for the fantastic and thorough review! I bought the printer after seeing this and love it so far. question about the ink cartridges from eBay: mine arrived with a note saying that they can't be used in combination with epson cartridges. do you find this to be true, or no?

[@KensKreations]

+Abigail Maulion very coo!

[@virginia6549]

Great job on your review, Ken! Now that you've owned it for 8 months, are you still happy with it? I am looking at this printer for the same reasons you wanted it; mainly printing digital paper and print & cut. Is the ink management doing okay, and the printer still functioning great? I've heard some negative comments, so I would love your feedback. The air print is a disappointment, but I can deal with it :) Thanks for your input!

[@KensKreations]

Virginia Polson Love mine, the only negative comment I have is the ink is expensive however i buy mine on ebays. Just read comments on the printer.

[@virginia6549]

Thanks for the feedback! I'm definitely going with this printer. The quality of print is just too good to pass up. I had seen that you bought your ink on eBay and made note of where. Last question, Do the ink cartridges you buy last as long as name brand, or do you think you have to buy more because they are off-brand? Thanks again!

[@FacesByBee]

hello I purchased this from someone online. and it didn't come with any cds or anything. am I still able to download photoshop elements?

[@KensKreations]

***** yes go to the manufactures website and instal

[@ColdChills01]

Years later... What would you recommend now that's similar... with the issues fixed { the upgraded version }

[@dtacklind]

You can also print on 13 x 44 inch paper.

[@LegoManB]

Hi Ken, Thank you for all the great info. I love my printer! I have been searching for the seller you purchase your ink from on Ebay and can't find that seller. Are you buying from someone else? Thanks

[@KensKreations]

+MariYosh right now I am currently going to walmart. Just because mine had them on clearance

[@WWETheDog]

What about the printing of labels to your own dvds?

[@AquamarineSOCAL]

Excellent review! Thank you!

[@KensKreations]

Thanks for watching

[@TrigTrig]

Just a quick tip: Don't use a glossy print setting for matte paper. You will get much cleaner results as the ink behaves differently. With glossy, the ink sits above the gloss coating. With matte, the ink is absorbed into the paper. There's a reason the settings say glossy and matte. A glossy print setting will give you worse print quality on matte paper.

[@KensKreations]

+bestest87 Thanks for that! I will test that out and update my instructions. Appreciate the tip!

[@allaboutartwedding8517]

Thank you very much for showing and advice for other things. I have a question though. The image you printed,, are the color come out like on the monitor ? I 'm just worry about the color won't match. Any advices would be awesome!

[@KensKreations]

+All About Art Wedding you want to print them with the option of "photo quality"

[@allaboutartwedding8517]

+Kens Kreations thanks so much. Appreciate your answer!

[@ividel]

Hi ken i have where do you buy your digital paper.

[@KensKreations]

ivette delgado halegrafx.com and www.sassy-designs.net/shop/

[@christianmunoz6353]

have you tried print butterpapper with it ? i'm thinking to buy this printer but i need to make shure it works with butterpaper, thak's.

[@KensKreations]

+Christian Muñoz not yet

[@icemanxp300]

I see you say this printer prints on cardstock but it does not for me. I have some tango 18pt c1s card stock and the ink just pools on top. I figured well maybe it is the coating and flipped it over and again it just pooled. I'm really bummed and will be returning this printer as my main goal was to be able to print boxes and this printer will not do the job. I do have some 15pt I could try but I doubt it will make a difference.

[@KensKreations]

I am shocked as I can print on 150 # with no problem. I am thinking this is an error with the printer you might have as I know many people who have this printer. I apologize! Sorry that this one did not work out!

[@icemanxp300]

+Kens Kreations Maybe it is because you use textered? Maybe that absorbs the ink better. Try some coated material. Maybe there is something else I can use? I really needed to print on a material that would make nice boxes. I'm really surprised it didn't print well on the non-coated side, that makes no sense to me.

[@katerae88]

Have you seen any fading in the off brand inks? I am looking into doing prints of my watercolor art for shows but don't want to sell something that will fade in a year.

[@KensKreations]

+Katie Feld sadly a few that is why you do have to do research on comments from previous buyers

[@katerae88]

ok thanks so much for the reply! Loved the video! Printer still going strong after all this time?

[@princessmhintavendano1772]

Great video! What kind of 12x12 paper you use for printing? Thanks

[@cl401]

Hi Ken! Since its been a few years are you still using this printer or did you find a better one?

[@jeffreybartman6176]

Great video!!! Because of this video, I purchased this exact 1430 printer! Thanks so much for the info on where to buy the OEM print cartridges on ebay. I will save a fortune. Question, any leads on where I can buy really inexpensive canvas to print on? I'm just starting out, so any help would be much appreciated. God Bless!

[@KensKreations]

Awesome!

[@warmsignal]

Two questions - I was confused where you said it has no USB.This printer allows you to connect to your PC via USB, does it not? I prefer not to use Wifi for printing. Also, are you saying this printer can print on cardstock? From what I know about inkjet printers, they typically do not print on cardstock correctly - the ink usually just smears onto the paper.

[@KensKreations]

***** yes you can print using a USB and it does great with card stock. I print all the time on 110lb

[@warmsignal]

Kens Kreations Hey Ken. I got this printer, and when I ran out of ink I went to the seller you recommended on eBay and bought some replacement carts. After I installed them, I noticed that the Artisan stopped printing purple. I even printed a test page with the whole color spectrum and purple is completely missing! Did you encounter this problem?

[@happymevids]

Great video Ken! Question: are the inks acid-free?

[@KensKreations]

+happymevids yes

[@happymevids]

Thank you. :)

[@loriestark3126]

Ken do you still like this printer? Did it hold up (is it still working)?

[@luislozano2301]

How did you install Adobe? Also my wife will be using this for edible images do you think it will work great?

[@KensKreations]

+Luis Lozano yes. adobe.com

[@cccresseywrites2043]

Does this printer print two-sided for saddle stitch printing at any size at and within 13x19? Thank you for this.

[@KensKreations]

+Expressions United let me see when i get home

[@cccresseywrites2043]

+Kens Kreations ok

[@Xplode88]

Thanks for the great video. Can this printer print on uncoated stocks. such as 250-300gsm?

[@KensKreations]

Xplode88 yes!

[@deanemarks8611]

It says that the machine could print a 13x 44. Is that possible If say I have the right size paper?

[@KensKreations]

+Deane Marks i have never found it but have found paper on a roll and that would work

[@raouldemanou2197]

Ken I have a question about the Epson Artisan 1430 that you did a video on it if you wouldn't mind helping ;) I bought the printer (YAY!) but I am having trouble printing Digis...it wants to print my digis as photos...4x6, 5x7, etc and does not let me pick anything smaller to put on the front of a card...do you have any suggestions or has this happened to you? TIA!!!

You will waste a lot of ink during cleaning so you should add an external waste bottle otherwise the printer will shut down after the internal waste pad becomes saturated and you will have to reset the counter.

Hey hello! I was wondering if I could ask you the brand of the 12 x 12 textured cardstock you showed. I'm having a difficult time finding it on walmarts website. Thanks!

+Lenny Riccardi It is only found in store and it is designer snow

[@gumbiigarcia]

great video... i got one a week ago... in one day, i wasted the light cyan and light magenta ink.. is it normal..? the other cartridges didn't go down as much as i thought it would... i printed all sorts of stuff for an art show... you think the profiles are wrong..?

[@KensKreations]

gumbii garcia so the ink that came with the printer

[@gumbiigarcia]

yes... the cartridges... the light cyan and light magenta wasted super fast... well, i just installed a CISS with pigment ink, so i can't take a picture of it, but they were completely drained together... the other colors especially the magenta were not touched... i feel like it's using too much light magenta... although the colors are coming out on point... i'm printing out prints of canvas that i painted... all 4 prints have completely different colors to them...

Hey I know you posted this video a long time ago. However, I got one of these printers and I’m not sure if it works and I don’t want to spend a bunch of money on ink just to find out it doesn’t work. Can u tell where I can get some cheap ink and parts

[@IzludeTingel]

Thank you so much for your review on this printer...I cannot find the 12 x 12 Textured Snow White Cardstock at Walmart? Do you know the brand name? or is there a different kind of 12x12 cardstock that I can print on? Also...will this Artisan 1430 print on chipboard? or is it easier to print on Cardstock and then mount that print to chipboard? Thank you for any of your input!

[@KensKreations]

***** have never tried chipboard and the brand of paper was colorblok

[@genevarobuck5404]

Kens Kreations Thank you so much Ken for your quick response...

[@genevarobuck5404]

Kens Kreations Ken...I truly don't want to be a pest and appreciate your input...I have searched Walmart Online site for the 12x12 Textured Snow White Cardstock and just cannot find it...Do you mind providing me a link to that product? Thank you in advance!
