The big, 50-sheet rear specialty tray makes printing pro-quality projects less complicated than ever before-- even on cardstock. And, with car 2-sided printing, a 200-sheet front tray and convenient cordless connection, publishing stacks of files is a breeze. Obtain all this, in a compact printer that's 30 percent smaller sized than its precursor.
Epson is preserving an approximately five-year design cycle with the entry level versions for its A3+ printer line-up. The XP-15000 replaces the Artisan 1430, which we assessed in February 2012, and which itself replaced the 2007 Stylus Photo 1410.
Like them, it is made solely for printing and can handle reduced sheet papers as much as 329 x 483 mm (A3+) in size. Its droplet dimension and result resolution coincide as the 1430's however it makes use of a new ink collection and differs in a few other ways, which are shown in the table below.

Printer Overview
The XP-15000 is much more portable than its predecessors and significantly lighter, the latter due partially to a few concessions in develop high quality. Compared with the 1430, although some functions may be more convenient than their equivalents on the previous design, the general building and construction of the XP-15000 is less considerable.
Epson has actually made considerable adjustments to many elements of the design. Like the most up to date designs in the Workforce and EcoTank arrays, the XP-15000 consists of a tilting control panel with LCD display, a powered print tray that deploys automatically, a cassette for simple A4 papers and a back feed slot with main loading.
The cassette is located listed below the print tray and accessed using a drop-down panel. Unfortunately, it and self-extending take-up tray are not as solid as we would certainly like and packing paper right into the cassette can be tricky.Automating the release and storage of the tray has potential to produce problems over time as a result of wear and tear. The rear paper assistance is also lightly built and simple to displace.
The cassette has adjustable sliders plus significant settings for 10 x 15 centimeters and 13 x 18 centimeters sheets. It will additionally accept documents longer than A4 size, especially 'lawful' documents that measure 21.6 x 33 cm for which a pull-out guide is given.
The maximum capability of the cassette is 200 sheets of ordinary A4 paper, 50 sheets of picture paper (all dimensions) or 'legal' sized ordinary paper, 10 envelopes or 80 sheets of A4 Epson Photo Quality Ink Jet Paper, which is thinner than routine image paper and used for publishing records with embedded pictures. You can also set it up for printing on envelopes.
Sheets of paper larger than A4 and 'lawful' dimensions have to utilize the back sheet feed, which can approve approximately 50 sheets of plain paper or 20 sheets of photo paper. The optimum dimension sustained through the User Defined choice in the vehicle driver food selection is 329 x 1200 mm (~ 13 x 44 inches), the same as in the previous models.
Indeterminate printing is offered for a lot of the conventional documents listed in the chauffeur's food selection, although not for double-sided paper, picture stickers and transfer paper. A tray for printing on optical discs is situated on the base of the paper cassette.
It matches a specialized slot behind the control board, just above the result tray, which can be difficult to tons because there's not much area above the top of the cassette. The control board have to be completely increased and the disc tray must be meticulously straightened before it will certainly glide into area. Besides that, disc printing hasn't altered given that previous models and relies upon the exact same chauffeur settings and Epson's Print CD software program.
