What cleaning and purge cart do you need for an Epson 1400? I'm ordering the UT14 cart 
set from http://www.inksupply.com and want to ensure the heads are cleaning when 
switching from the original ink to the UT14 set.

For 1400 cleaning carts, see 
http://www.inksupply.com/epson_cartridges.cfm 

Scroll down to the 1400 line.  The cleaning carts are just under the 
OEM Epson carts.

Thanks! Is it necessary to buy a full set (all 6)?

I don't really know if it's necessary to buy any.  They are nice to 
have around if you should get a bad clog or if you're going to leave 
the printer unused for a long period (which is the main way to get a 
clog).

Just so I'm clear, I'm going to get the UT14 ink set which I plan on using with the 1400 
once the carts that come with the printer are finished. I don't need to use a cleaning cart 
when I change from the factory carts to the UT14 carts?

I can't say for sure whether cleaning carts are needed, but it's the 
safe way to go.

Out of curiousity, I just pulled the Claria carts from my 260 that 
were in there only because someone wanted a profile for that setup.  
I re-installed the MIS carts.  They were color carts with Eboni, but 
the MIS color inks use the same base as the UT inks.  I printed a 
purge page and checked the nozzles.  I did, in fact, have one gap.  I 
can't tell what caused that, but it's possible there is a slight 
incompatibility between the inksets.  So, to be totally safe, you 
might want to go ahead and purchase the cleaning carts.
