Okay - although it seems very strange - the promised A4 text page timings.
Printing A4 sheets again borderless with either a single image or four near 15x10cm images took around 180seconds still quite quick but as always my main concern with photo printing is quality and not speed and the quality here is excellent. Even an A3 sheet is 42x29.7cm IE it's twice the size of A4. If you are unsure of the size of an A3+ sheet it is 48.5x33.5cm against an A4 sheet that is around 21x29.7cm. I was amazed at the speed of printing A3+ pages at only 320seconds for either a borderless print or any other combination you may choose to print on a single sheet of photo paper. But this printer is designed solely to print and even if you use the 'Pict Bridge' connection all your choices will need to be made on the camera. The only other connector is a 'Pict Bridge' socket on the front. Selecting the highest quality Photo Resolution Performance Management (RPM) setting, we saw the A3+ printing time increasing to 7 mins 55 secs, with an A4 print at the same Photo RPM setting taking 3 mins 41 secs.The printer has standard power and USB connectors on the rear with just three buttons on the front right edge. This is accurate: in our tests, we clocked a standard quality A3+ print at 3 mins 24 secs from the point at which the rollers engaged the paper to the time the picture was ejected. Epson rates the Stylus Photo 1500W's print speed at 3 minutes 18 seconds for an A3+ print at default photo quality. The Epson 1500W is quiet when it is running, though, and print speeds aren't disastrous. It took us a few attempts to get the printer recognised on our network, although there's a decent, if slightly daunting, online help resource should you come unstuck. Since it offers wireless printing, at least you don't have to have it in the same room. That's not to say it's small - this is an A3+ printer after all. But, at 616mm x 322mm x 215mm with the sheet feeder and output trays closed, at least its footprint is relatively compact. The Epson Stylus Photo 1500W isn't going to win any style awards - the design eases towards functional and industrial rather than elegant. Build, handling and print timesīuild quality is typically good.
#EPSON STYLUS PHOTO 1400 REVIEW DRIVER#
On-body controls are limited, but ample printer management is offered by the familiar Epson interface when the driver is installed on a computer.Ĭonnectivity comes in three forms: USB 2.0 (for which you'll need to buy a cable separately), a front-panel PictBridge port for printing directly from a compatible camera, and Wi-Fi for printing wirelessly from a laptop or desktop computer.īeing Wi-Fi compatible means that by installing the Epson iPrint app, images can also be printed from an iPhone, iPad or Android device. In terms of paper handling, the Epson 1500W/Artisan 1430 has a capacity of 100 sheets of plain A4 or 30 sheets of Epson Premium Glossy Photo Paper.
The 11.1ml coloured ink cartridges cost £14.21 ($21.99), putting the price per mililitre of ink at £1.28 ($1.98). Neither is a particularly cheap printer to run.
