Epson Stylus Photo 1500W review

 

Although the all-black A3+ Epson 1500W/Artisan 1430 printer looks different to the two-tone Epson 1400, under the hood it's a different matter.

Comparatively cheap ; Great on glossy paper ; 1.5pl drop size ; Good connectivity ; Fast and quiet

Small ink cartridges ; Black and white not so good

The Epson Stylus Photo 1500W comes with a decent range of colour profiles, and is capable of good results straight out of the box. It doesn't do anything to dent Epson's reputation for producing printers that excel with glossy media, and it's a sold...

Test Epson 1500W A3+ printer

 

Het voordeel van dye inkt is dat de kleurstoffen in het papier trekken en er niet bovenop blijven liggen. Bij hoogglans fotopapier is hierdoor de glans heel hoog. Maar, er zijn nog meer voordelen. Bekijk je de afdruk onder een schuine hoek dan zie je...

Contra ; Diepe hoogglans ; Geen bronzing en geen glossy ; Gemakkelijke bediening ; Papierformaat zelf te bepalen ; Goedkoop Epson Premium Glossy fotopapier

Great photo prints, ink usage fine BUT watch for the driver updates!!!!

 

1) Personally I felt that the installation took longer than I would have expected, but it did successfully install first time with the wireless option. 2) I am hardly a photographic expert but the A3 and A4 prints of wedding photos from shots taken by...

Excellent printer - I don't need better

 

I think it's easy to get carried away with quality - perceived or real. The 1500W just has 6 ink pots (unlike the more expensive models with subtle hues of black and so on), isn't terribky fast but is plenty fast enough and to my eye, produces stunning...

EPSON 1500W

 

Advanced printing difficult to access and not as effective as original Epson 1270 facilities and STANDARD print quality not always as good as the old 1270 either - is this really product progress ? - or just a more expensive replacement ?

Excellent home printer

 

I have just received my Epson 1500W after my old 1290S gave up the ghost after ten years of sterling work. I was very happy with my 1290S and many of the A3 prints it produced have done well in club competitions and local exhibitions.A replacement...
