You can still buy a 1400 from Epson.

That`s great news. Unfortunately the only Epson option still available for
me in the stores is the R2800 or the R1900. 

How big is the ink cartrige? For how many A3 B&W papers will last
approximately?

I started with my Epson 1400+Eb1400 kit as a rookie. Never printed photos,
since I was a darkroom guy. It took me a few days to read docs, discuss with
Paul to understand the main topics, and then I bought the system. 2 hours
after installation the first print went out, and it was already absolutely
great.

Regarding printing often or not: I printed last WE for the first time since
2 months: no head clog. I just had to gently shake the cartridges to mix
carbon inks. Nothing really hard.
