Epson Stylus® Color 1520 InkJet Printer

 

It is nice to be able to print larger format work, in particular architectural drawings up to a C-- size. The printer is very flaky at paper feeding, however. Even with simple letter size sheets it tends to form feed sheet after sheet, announcing after...

Epson Stylus® Color 1520 InkJet Printer

 

Expensive ink, poor quality drivers, paper jams often. Had it for under a year and am literally throwing it away. Imagine having to babysit the thing so you don't come back to a puddle of ink under the printer. Imagine having a printer that feeds a...

Decent color, handles large media sizes

No paper jam sensor - it just keeps on spraying ink onto the feed roller. Overpriced ink

Epson Stylus® Color 1520 InkJet Printer

 

The worst printer I've ever owned. Paper jams are frequent, print quality is ok but not great. Gives "out of paper" messages when paper is full. Sprays ink even when no paper is fed. Gets itself into a "cover open" condition that the manual and website...

It's big and looks impressive. Handles large paper if it's in the mood

Wastes ink. Wastes paper. Wastes time

It is pretty, and sometimes it works

Takes large paper that it won''t print upon. Very noisy. Wastes lots of paper, and can easily cost more in wasted specialty paper that you save by not getting a better printer
