Super printer with a few limitations

Epson Stylus Photo 1500W color inkjet printer (WiFi, USB 2.0) Black (Personal Computers)

Customer Review

The printer I have for photo orders worried because I so finally can print decent photos and
the up to A3 + 33x48 cm so.

Print speed is ok.
A 10x15 image in maximum quality it prints in approximately 1min 55s
Photo quality (1440dpi) there are only about 40 seconds.

Here an extra color profile should ideally for photo quality because the colors are created from soft minimal to maximum setting. Visually you can see at Neher viewing it more noisy, not so finely dissolves. So rather something that you look for photos of 30cm or more distance. But it saves a bit of ink and time especially)

Now, after about
48 photos 10x15
11 photos A4
4 pages with some text and graphics

Logs the ink level indicator and calls for a change.

The ink level is approximately
43% Yellow
90% Black
16% light cyan
15% light magenta
60% Magenta
70% Cyan

The consumption rate at max dpi quality to calculate makes really not easy ...
not just because of the complete ink set at once all is ...

I guess the first the Light colors are all and would have to be exchanged ..
This will then probably go zurneige along with yellow, magenta and cyan in the second run.
In the Third then the black.

We expect high times .... around 130 photos in 10x15 are probably in there with the Starter Set.
Then we buy twice more light and come at the end of probably around 300 photos with the Faben being sure yet 25% black is likely to be left.

Daily up ink price approx .:
Magenta: 16.- * 1 = 16.-
Cyan: 15.- * 1 = 15.-
Yellow: 17.- * 1 = 17.-
Light Magenta: 17.- * 2 = 34.-
Light Cyan: 16.- * 2 = 32.-
Black: 16.- * 0.75 = 12.-

= Total cost estimated for 300 photos = 126.- = 0.42 EUR / Photo

What unfortunately 0.17 EUR per photo are more than I expected. However, this is only an estimate.

I then tried rauszuholen with the Spyder3 printer profiling to the Optimun, unfortunately spins the thing probably a bit because the prints have a greenish tint. But look better than the manufacturer profile ... after compensating by the Magenta is set to about +15 erstrecht in the program. However, the printer does not represent perfect red seems to me. The red effect
a little orange. But that falls on only at very close inspection of a test chart.
If it's different in the daylight morning I complete the contribution.

However, I can already tell ... depending on the ambient light colors on photos look different, so it's difficult to train them to the printer colors a monitor .... because photos attract your colors by reflection of ambient light and can permanently change! ;)

Other values ​​to printing times, etc. I'll cheat. So far I have almost only test charts printed (OMG) and think it will probably need + A3 about 7min.

I also did an unboxing ([...] if one may call it).

It struck me that no A3 + Demo paper is situated ... unfortunately ...

Only 2x 10x15, 13x18 2x (rather rare format for the paper manufacturers), 1xA4
Each as Glossy.

The printer is convertible to pigment inks or sublimation ink and might even food coloring printing. However, I will use alternative dye ink which has good UV durability. Probably not quite as good as the originals (long-term testing is more Show), but it saves you about 95% of ink cost ...

Properly Halbar are pigment inks, however, the color space is somewhat smaller here and the Pressure on glossy media, these inks are not recommended (but it would also).

Set up the printer ran by the way (to enable WPS on the router) without problems.

Speaking of routers, a USB cable is not there! You need a WPS-enabled router or a USB cable to the printer to integrate into the wireless. Alternatively, of course, also possible to print wired.

As for processing, nice that it is largely in matte black.
Unfortunately, I had a kind of paint damage, so on the back of the cover (ie where the paper tray is). Amazon revealed here but accommodating. I do not know if that often occurs in the model? Ask around brought no result.

The image I like very much, I must say.

Something thoughtfully made me the nozzles factory were not so clean. Printer was so tuned and again made nozzle cleaning and test. Then, it was ok.

As for the software, you should the Auto Zoom during borderless printing off the driver!
This reduces the trim to a minimum.

Also, you can set the automatic switch-off in the driver. From 2h to Never in several stages. By default set here 4h.

In addition, you can also leave (depending on option) multiple pages on a print or photo on multiple pages (Print) to print.

The Benutzerdefnierte paper can have a width of 8,90-32,90cm, such as a length of 12,70-111,76cm.
When borderless printing width is fixed to put on 8.9 cm-30.48cm in several steps.
(This applies to custom paper sizes)

Other names of the printer: 1400, 1430

The printer is out of the web interface, but can also be used on Epson's app directly from your smartphone.

Whether the printer WiFi Direct support (ie wireless router without) I could not test unfortunately lack laptop. if need be but working my smartphone as a router ^^

Of course you can take the printer also DVDs printing, also miniDVDs (adapter is on board).

To Ask? ^^
