This printer doesn’t work sense I got get.dont buy

I'd give it a 8.5 out of 10. I would not say this was a perfect device, but it certainly is capable and seems to produce good quality images even at 13" x 19" sizes. One thing I do really like is the Claria Photo ink they use. Having several independent colors makes some great images. Again, not perfect, but very good/great for the average high end consumer. The overall size of the printer is nice. Pretty small for the size of prints it can produce. This unit does not have a touch sensitive display like its smaller brother, but its just as easy to navigate and get setup. The setup was a breeze and didn't take long at all. High marks given for that. Overall, I must say this is worth the price and an excellent option for large printing needs. Again, its not perfect and only time will truly tell if it stands up to its first impressions, but I would have no problem purchasing this unit as a consumer if I was in the market for a large format photo printer. This is a review for the Epson Expression Photo HD XP-15000 Wide-Format Printer that I received free of charge to do a beta test and review.

This is a review for the Epson Expression Photo HD SP-15000 Wide-format printer. I am excited to tell you how much I am enjoying this new printer. The quality of the photos is fantastic, and the convenience of printing at home is so worth it! I believe it will fit the needs of those who would like to print some of the many photos taken on our smart phones as well as from digital SLR's etc., in addition to providing the normal daily printing functions, all with top quality in the convenience of home. It is a bonus that it can print wide format sizes and everything in between, as well as on heavier card stock in addition to photo paper and typical printer paper, as well as CD/DVD’s. The printer has nice clean lines and appearance, and fits on a desk, taking up less than 19" of width. For me, it is about the same footprint as our old 'all in one" that only scanned and printed 8.5" x11". Unfortunately this printer does not scan, but we have a scanner on our other printer. We have had Epson printers for many of the years, with varying degrees of success. In some cases in the past, we had issues with apparent ink clogs, or perhaps air in the lines, which trouble shooting and head cleaning sometimes remedied. Epson continues to improve their printers and their ink products. We have not had the above mentioned problems in the two printers we've had for the past five + years. On one of my creative sites involving printing on fabric for cutting and stitching lines in quilt making, some participants chose to use other name brand printers over Epson because the ink WOULD wash out after they did their stitching. Yes, that is exactly what most of us DO NOT want from our printer ink! We want it to be stable and permanent, and even archival to withstand the passage of time. Great argument to stick with Epson for REAL print quality! I create invitations, rather elaborate and detailed invitations, in addition to other work involving the use of a printer, and I am a perfectionist and very detail-oriented. The end result has to be perfect and visually very appealing, or I make adjustments until it is. I prefer to print from home, because I like the control I have at home with my printers - currently, our utilitarian every day printer is an Epson Artisan 810 (which we will be replacing due to age and the occasional hiccups of an aging printer - with an Epson Workforce 16500 wide format. BUT wow, that one is HUGE and requires some space I don’t have at my kitchen/family room desk.) I also have my second wide format photo printer, The Epson Stylus Pro 3880, which uses huge and expensive cartridges and has done a beautiful job on every task I've given it and which I use for much of my creative design work and for photos (all those ink cartridges including matte, photo and greyscale of my large format printer produce unbeatable quality.). I LOVE it, but it is big, not wireless, and firing it up for smaller jobs such as printing a few photos to send my mother of her great grandchildren seems to be overkill, and not so easy/convenient because you have to be very careful or you accidentally switch from Matte to Photo black (or vice versa) and waste a lot of ink and time in the process. I have needed and wanted a good quality printer for smaller jobs like printing some of the millions of photos I take, something that is much more convenient, can be used for things besides photo printing, can handle thicker papers like card stock, has wide format capability as well as custom size capability, and I prefer not having to deal with the matte vs photo black inks for every day jobs and simple photos. This printer, the Epson Expression XP-15000 fits that niche fabulously. I'd say for the average person or family who just want a printer that will do a great job of printing some photographs who would also like the printer to do standard printing jobs for them, this printer is more than adequate and will serve them very well. It will likely also serve those who have a creative paper or photography hobby or business well. The print quality is outstanding and it is easy to set up and to use. Though I rarely set up any of our tech stuff, I do trouble shoot issues with printing equipment, I did the set up of this Epson XP15000 myself with my more tech savvy husband nearby, in case I had a glitch, so he would know what I was doing and could assist if needed. I followed the provided directions, and had no problems getting the printer out of the box and set up, removing packaging materials, plugging it in, installing the ink cartridges, charging it, running the test sheets and doing the calibration steps...(Only very minimal issue wherein in a few cases the directions didn't note exactly what/where there were packing materials and tape, so you had to use your brain just a bit...such as in the lower paper tray/cassette.) Anyway, I was able to print photos from my phone within minutes. We both were very impressed by the quality of the photos, and the ease of set up and use up to that point. I then went online to download the software and did the update as directed. That too went smoothly. Since then I have printed 4x6's on lustre and gloss photo paper, 8.5x11's on lustre and glossy photo paper, and even a photo of a beautiful scene from Tuscany on Epson 13x19 watercolor matte finish paper I got a few years ago. I printed directly from my phone and from my Mac computer on various weight card stocks, photo paper and ordinary printer paper. I did feel that things may have been a bit slow, but my Mac is old and has been telling me to free up space, and is ready to be replaced, so the fact that I had it overstretched at the time with programs open could explain that speed issue, or perhaps our very brand new Wifi system isn't quite interfacing as it should (for reasons beyond my test, my husband feels there is an issue with the WiFi and correct bandwidth selection. The Epson unit is limited to the 2.5GHz band. Our new Mesh Wifi system (which is great, by the way) uses uses 3 frequencies which it moves between to optimize coverage. We noted issues with the printer connetiing with the WiFi especially if it was communicating on the 5 GHz band. Epson needs to work with the Mesh Router manufacturers and work this out, as Mesh WiFi networks help to optimize coverage throughout the home or office space. Because of that I went ahead and connected the printer to my computer with a USB cable (not provided), and things then printed more quickly, but unfortunately until I get my new computer set up, which is delayed because we have to deal with all the photos on it, I’m pretty sure my speeds are a little lower than others report.) EVERY single thing I printed turned out great. I am SURE with my new computer things will go even more quickly, but the fact that this printed an 8x11 in about a minute is really fast enough for me, because the quality is outstanding and even with my old and slow computer, printing photos was faster than I could have imagined. Overall, for this Epson printer, I LOVE: the beautiful quality of the prints, the truly borderless prints this printer makes, how easy this printer is to use and to set up, how quiet this printer is compared to our other two printers, even without the ‘quiet’ function selected. I love that it handles many kinds of photo paper and card stocks of various weights. I love that there are two paper trays, and especially love the rear paper tray for the heavier card stock as well as for the large format paper and card stock. I also tend to use the rear paper feeder for any photo paper, because it just glides through, but I did print 4x6 photos on glossy stock from the lower paper cassette with perfect results. (If you are switching between the two trays, remember to switch them on the LCD screen or on the printer drop down menu. It may be obvious I prefer using the print drop-down menu to the lcd screen on the front of the printer which is rather small, in my opinion, for my aging eyes, and I am less sure using that LCD than making the choices on the print menu. If you are listening Epson: please size up the LCD screen...and in my opinion it could be more clear which choices are actually active... perhaps it was me, but occasionally I felt I was going in circles with my attempts to perform a function, such as setting as active the rear paper feed tray or chosing to shut off the WiFi network in order to try out the Ethernet connectivity. I’m thrilled with the 6 color Claria Photo HD Inks. Epson states: “Individual 6-color Claria• Photo HD Inks -- with all-new Red and Gray inks -- offer a wide color gamut and enhanced black-and-white photo printing.” Love high capacity cartridges. (*But I would love it even more if they were Epson’s EcoTank system ... I hope Epson is listening...) If you are looking for a printer that easily prints great photos, or other projects that involve heavier paper than many/most other printers can handle, that has wide format capability, and functions wirelessly or wired, even remotely using special apps for mobile printing, that has the option of high-capacity quality ink cartridges...is quiet, and operates with relative ease, look no further. It does all this while still functioning as your normal everyday printer. You’ve found a great printer! (And, being that this is new, IF I have issues in the near future and I am able, I will add to this review.) Though this printer was randomly given to me for review, I’m pretty sure I couldn’t have gotten a printer that more suits my current needs better or that I would like more! This printer meets my needs for function, quality, and creativity, right at my desk, all at a lower price point than other printers I have used in the past. “This is a review for the Epson Expression Photo HD XP-15000 Wide-Format Printer that I received free of charge to do a beta test and review.”

The printer printed one picture, then refused to pull paper through again. I've always loved my epson Printers, so I'm returning it and getting another. Hopefully the next one won't have this problem.

The Epson Expression Photo HD XP-15000 Wide-format printer brings professional quality printing into your home or office. Straight out of the box you will be set up and printing professional quality images in no time. With the ability to print professional quality images on a variety of image papers including cardstock, up to 13x9" you have limitless options for creating beautiful portraits for your home or professional quality marketing brochures for your business. The printer is compact in design measuring 18.7" x 30.9" x 16.2" making it a smart choice for a home office desk or business without taking up too much space. This is amazing in a printer that can print such large images. It comes with a simple to follow instruction manual and software dvd. Please be sure and follow the instructions by removing all packaging material to include within the paper tray. I literally had the printer unpacked and printing within 20 minutes. One of my favorite features of the Epson XP-15000 is the ability to print from literally anywhere. It is mobile friendly by downloading the Epson Connect mobile app for either Android or iOS operation. It also has its own email address allowing remote printing from any location which is ideal for business applications. The printer requires the use of Epson ink cartridges only. There are a total of 6 different cartridges allowing for more vivid and lifelike color images than a standard desktop printer. However, you will also find the printer is ideal for regular document printing as well. It is not just for image printing. There is a simple onboard screen that easily guides you through the different settings available depending on the type of printing you are doing. Select options based on paper size and type to quality of printing with a few quick selections. Overall I would recommend the Epson XP-15000 for the avid photographer or business that will give you the quality images you seek for a lower price than box store printing.

A solid new printer from Epson. I was hooked on Canon printers for years, but my Epson Eco-tank printer and this Expression 15000 have changed my perspective. Setup was easy (although it seemed to take a bit too long to prime the cartridges) --- under 30 minutes total. You can use Epson's cloud-print service with this printer, but I have stayed away from it so far. Regular documents print lightning fast, but you probably won't use this printer too much for that. Photos are really where this printer shines. The print quality of photos on the correct glossy paper is nearly identical to photo-shop one-hour prints. Only time will tell if they resist fading as well as store prints. Pros: * Comapact size, given the large sizes it prints (only 19in wide and 15in deep with output tray closed) * Prints directly on CDs or DVDs * Optional paper tray in back, to minimize page curling or for heavy-weight paper * Prints super fast * Can print directly from my smartphone Cons: * Lots of ink colors to buy.... 6 of them. At $11/piece for OEM, I'll be looking for generics to save some cash * No SD Card slot (not a deal breaker) * Can be loud at times All-in-all, this is a decent printer that performs as intended. I wouldn't buy this printer if all you need is everyday documents, but if you regularly print photos (especially 8x10 or larger), this printer should be on your short list.

Overall, after having this printer for a couple of months, I have decided I like it. I'll keep my review short and sweet. Pros: Really nice quality and can print large prints. It's fast and I love the wifi capability. I downloaded the epson app to print from my phone and I love that. The printer doesn't take up as much space as others. Cons: It's so tricky figuring out this and that! It took me a while to figure out where in Photoshop I could select the paper tray. I think the bottom paper tray is odd. I don't like pushing the tray back in because I feel like I'm forcing it, but that's actually what you are supposed to do. Also, when using the paper tray, the paper needs to be right side down, which is an extra step to remember when you are trying to do something quickly. The controls on the printer menu are a little time consuming to go through. Overall, getting used to the settings is work and a little frustrating. It's more complicated than my previous Epson printers. I think the quality makes the printer worth the trouble.

I feel like I have come from the dark ages into a new era of printing. The Epson XP-15000 wide format printer reminds me of all the reasons I love printing my own photos and graphics. Frustrations of trying to print with my older model wide format printer resulted in the lost art of printing out any media at all. The ease of using this printer is evident from the time of taking it out of the box until the first photo is smiling back at you. Set this up for Christmas and we had our first family photos ready for framing in less than 30 minutes. The Epson XP-15000 features a built-in Wi-Fi for a wireless setup and access to many mobile printing protocols, which makes this printer accessible from home or away. A photo printer needs a good color gamut; a high resolution and small droplet size to yield a good high quality print worthy of printing which the printer will not disappoint you. It has very fast drying ink and true borderless prints. I did notice I have a wider selection of paper media that I can print to which makes it a perfect choice for me. Printed quick and flawless the very first time, which results in less ink, paper and time wasted. Photos taken with the iphone or iPad are ready for printing with just a click of a button. What could be simpler? In conclusion the Epson XP-15000 is an extremely versatile printer. It out performs the earlier predecessors from the simplicity of setting it up to the final printing. It can print 4x6, 6x8, and 8x10 or do any of the large format printing I desire. I do some poster printing and signage so if you are into that you will really appreciate this model. If I had to pick one thing I did not like it would be the keying of words on the LCD panel. Took me longer to key in the Wi-Fi password than the whole setup. To sum this up all the things I hated about printing before Epson resolved with the XP-15000. Thanks Epson. This is a review for the Epson Expression Photo HD XP-15000 Wide-Format Printer that I received free of charge to do a beta test and review.

I have never used a large format printer before, so I was really excited to try out this new capability. I have a great camera that takes professional photos, but have to rely on different stores to get large professional prints. I think this printer is probably the most straight forward, easy to set up printer I have installed. There are thorough instructions, but honestly, the process is pretty intuitive. After unboxing this thing, you will be printing in no time. I definitely wouldn't consider this thing compact, but considering the size it prints, that's to be expected. It is a very wide printer, but still manages to look sleek and modern. The LCD screen is really small, but manages to get the job done. The screen is 2.4 inches, which just seems small on such a large device. It is not touch screen, but it is easy enough to navigate. It connects to WIFI effortlessly and I never had an issue with it dropping the connection. The printer does a great job printing at all sizes. I thought quality wise it was top notch. I used it to print a really large "WANTED" poster for my sons cowboy birthday party. It looks like I had it printed professionally. The printer itself is quick but fairly loud. I noticed that it has a quiet mode- which is a cool feature. It is slower when printing quiet, but there is a noticeable difference in noise. Aside from printing photos of various sizes it can handle documents easily. The only other thing that would have been nice is if they had included some larger sized paper in the sample media pack. Since the large format printing is such a selling point it would have been neat to have had the sample media pack tailored to that. “This is a review for the Epson Expression Photo HD XP-15000 Wide-Format Printer that I received free of charge to do a beta test and review.”

I have tested numerous products the past few years and it’s very difficult for me to give a 5 star rating. The Epson Expression Photo HD XP-15000 Wide-Format Printer actually deserves 5 stars. As an avid photographer I take a multitude of pictures in a variety of settings. I was excited to try this printer to see how well it would stack up against other color printers I’ve used. As long as you use a high-quality glossy paper the photos are crisp, vibrant and colorful. I actually used this printer to print a few of my photos that I framed and hung in my living room! The printer is very easy to set up and use. It accepts a variety of paper sizes which is nice. The mobile printing capability works well as I was able to print a few photos directly from my phone. While the printer is designed for photos it can be used to print virtually anything on accepted print media. The size of the printer isn’t bulky and would fit on most desks or on a small table. I tested the majority of the printer’s features and everything worked as described. To give an honest review I also have to mention a few things I think could be better. I think the printer is fantastic so I’m nit-picking to some degree. I wish this printer utilized Epson’s EcoTank ink replacement. I’m not a fan of ink cartridges. The printers with EcoTank eliminate cartridges which is a huge benefit in my opinion. I also wished they moved the power button farther to the left which would allow for a larger LCD screen. The ease of use and quality of printing makes the Photo HD XP 15000 a winner in my opinion. I definitely recommend it. This is a review for the Epson Expression Photo HD XP-15000 Wide-Format Printer that I received free of charge to do a beta test and review.

The Epson Expression Photo HD XP-15000 Wide-Format Printer is capable of printing photos of a quality high enough for me to hang on my walls. Setup: The printer was an easy setup thanks to thorough instructions which I followed to the letter. There are six different ink cartridges that are really easy to install, which account for the nice vibrant colors reproduced on the output. I used a wireless connection and also setup the printer for Epson's remote printing utility via Android. That works great, too, though I'm less likely to remotely print photos. Output: My tests involved scanning high quality photographs at 1200 dpi and sending them to print at the highest quality settings on the XP-15000. I used a Agfa 8x Printer's Loupe to examine the output vs. the original photo. To say that I was impressed is an understatement. Colors were vivid and accuracy was almost down to the ink drop. The vivid colors were a bit like the old Fujifilm vs. Kodak variety, though a little less so and definitely not unpleasant. I'm hanging all the output on the walls. Conclusion: This is a high quality photo printer for users whom like to control the printing of their subject matter in their very own environment. The ability to print wide-format is a real plus, too. Tip: Don't mix glossy paper with other thinner papers. The glossy paper may cause a double feed. Load only one type of paper in the cartridge at a time. This is a review for the Epson Expression Photo HD XP-15000 Wide-Format Printer that I received free of charge to do a beta test and review.

As an ‘advanced amateur’ photographer, I was excited to give this printer a shot. I had not worked with anything more than CMYK printers, so I was curious as to how the extra gray and red cartridges were going to help me print my photos. And the added ability to print up to 19x13 is an extra bonus for my larger prints. Packaging was simple and easy to unbox. Setup was a breeze on my MacBook Pro. I do not have an optical drive in my laptop so I downloaded the software from the Epson website. Configuration of the wireless connection was easy and the printer was soon blowing through all of the sample pack that came with the printer. And it prints at a decent speed, too. I printed a wide variety of photos ranging from wildlife to architectural to food. All of the photos have excellent color saturation and contrast. I have so far printed up to 11x17, which is the largest paper I have, and it handles it perfectly. Even draft quality produces wonderful prints. If you have need of a superb photo printer with a larger format capability, check out the HD XP-15000! I did receive this printer as a test unit, but I ultimately replaced my Canon Pixma with this printer. It is faster and uses far less ink for better prints. “This is a review for the Epson Expression Photo HD XP-15000 Wide-Format Printer that I received free of charge to do a beta test and review.”

This printer has been absolutely amazing to have for the holidays. Going from a family that has exclusively digital photos, to finally printing out high-quality, amazing photos for our home, is one of the best things about this printer. The ease-of-use was unparalleled, and took hardly any time at all for myself to learn, and to teach my spouse. I'm especially impressed by Epson's usage of ink, and how it maintains the high-quality prints, which being incredibly economic and manages ink well. I have had zero issues with this Photo printer, and will be using this for a very long time. I expect to be able to use it for a long time, too, because the build quality is very solid, and definitely feels built-to-last in the solidness of it's construction, and the ability to nearly completely disassemble the machine for troubleshooting and maintenance purposes. This is a review for the Epson Expression Photo HD XP-15000 Wide-Format Printer that I received free of charge to do a beta test and review.

Unboxing and getting set up was a very efficient process. It only took about half an hour to take out, remove safety packing contents, insert ink cartridges and align this machine. The directions were concise and simple, and it set up without any issues or troubleshooting. It was due for a software update when unboxing, which took a few more minutes, but super easy to get started with this machine. Eager to start printing, it was hooked up to WIFI and able to quick print from my phone before even opening my computer to download software. I print a great number of HD pictures at home and sometimes I tend to send some out to get little better quality and options I have been unable to get in my home. I found the quality on the Epson HD XP 15000 to be outstanding, and now I will be able to get better quality instantly in my home. Once I started printing I saw how beautiful my photos were produced on this machine. I went as far as printing the same photo on 3 different machines in my home for comparison. My ET-3600 (my work horse for everyday) and my HP professional photo printer. Comparing the quality and speed among the printers, there was no comparison. The Epson Expression Photo HD XP-15000 Wide-Format Printer was clearly the winner in both quality and speed. The colors were more vivid, and the details were fantastic! It was a bit loud, but not much more than any others. I have been a long time HP fan for photo printing, but this machine has changed my opinion. This is a review for the Epson Expression Photo HD XP-15000 Wide-Format Printer that I received free of charge to do a beta test and review.

First thought was the box is huge so the printer will take up a lot of space. This is not the case per the printer is an average size printer. The printer was very easy to set up and connecting to Wi-Fi was simple also. All the pieces were easy to read and instructions were very understandable. I brought generic photo paper just to test it out and the photos came out amazing! Same quality and clarification as printing photos from your local retail print shop. Used glossy paper and the images are crisp and clear. It didn't use as much ink as I thought it would. This printer will save you time, money and the hassle of going to get your photos printed elsewhere. I love it so far and can’t wait to print more photos with it. “This is a review for the Epson Expression Photo HD XP-15000 Wide-Format Printer that I received free of charge to do a beta test and review.”

As I continue to take more and more pictures with my phone, there have been numerous pictures that have turned out spectacular that I’ve been wanting to print. They show really well when I share them on social media sites such as Facebook and Instagram. I’ve been looking to expand my new found hobby and be able to produce some high quality prints that I can give out to friends or have framed. In comes the Epson Expression Photo HD XP-15000 Wide-Format printer. This printer does not disappoint. Spec wise, the HD XP-15000 produces high-quality, borderless prints up to 13" x 19", has 6 color photo HD inks (Black, Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Red, Gray), a large, 50-sheet rear specialty tray, 2-sided printing, a 200-sheet front tray, supports wireless connectivity, and has a relatively small footprint compared to other wide-format printers. The printer supports different media, from plain paper to cardstock. The printer includes standard ink cartridges that yield 500 pages for the black cartridge and 830 pages for the color cartridges. Installation of the printer was simple. Configuration and setup was easy using the Epson printer app found in the app store. The printer even comes was a good sampling of different photo paper for you to use. In my experience with Epson Expression Photo HD XP-15000 Wide-Format printer, the time it took to get the printer out of the box to printing my first photo was 30 minutes. The quality of the prints were spectacular. The printer was able to produce amazing prints in both color and black and white. The addition of a red ink cartridge produced vibrant color photos. The addition of a gray ink produced stunning grayscale images and wonderful gradation. All the grayscale and full-color images that were produced by the HDP XP-15000 looked and turned out incredible. If you are looking to expand your photo hobby, just want to produce some high quality prints from pictures that you have taken, or even need to print out some documents, check out the Epson Expression Photo HD XP-15000 Wide-Format printer. It’s an amazing printer. I’m still in awe at the high quality photos it produces.

This printer performs well. I love that it does borderless printing and comes with sample paper to try it out. I am also pleased with the simplicity it took to set up and get it running. My only complaint is that it shipped requiring print head alignment which took a good deal of time for better looking pictures. Speed was impressive for an inkjet printer in both color and B&W. Ink seemed to dry pretty quickly. Overall I would recommend this printer if you require photo quality prints. This is a review for the Epson Expression Photo HD XP-15000 Wide-Format Printer that I received free of charge to do a beta test and review.

This printer is really good i mean its super easy to set up and if you dont understand anything the instrustion book is super detailed and helpful. Its suprisingly easy to set up the wifi print and now i can print from my phone even if im downstairs. One downside is that the little module that controls the lcd is a little glitchy on mine and it wont register the button until i hit it again. This printer has amazing photo quality as well. The coloring in photos is stunning and with the preset you put into the printer it kind of trues everything up and really gets all the coloring size and type of paper correct the photo is stunning. This is a review for the Epson Expression Photo HD XP-15000 Wide-Format Printer that I received free of charge to do a beta test and review.

The rear-feed on the printer makes it easy to feed any size of photo paper into the printer. The printer can accept photo paper up to 13" by 19". When printing on normal paper, it has the option to automatically print on both sides of the page. This printer has wireless connectivity, so despite it's larger size, I can put it on my bookshelf even though it is not near my computer or any network ports. I can print to the printer using my phone or any PC in the world using Epson Connect or Google Cloud Print. The LCD display on the front of the printer has an easy to use menu, however the screen is not touch-screen so the menu must be navigated using the buttons next to the LCD. The paper output tray is motor-driven and can open and retract for storage at the press of a button. The printer prints great borderless photos. They are better than photos printed on the lower-range Epson color printers, with richer color and sharper contrast. This is primarily due to the addition of the red and gray inks. It would be perfect for someone who loves to frame their captured images, or even a photographer. However, the differences between photos printed on this printer versus a cheaper printer are marginal and many people would be happy with the cheaper option. I would not recommend it for someone who just prints greeting cards for family, or color flyers as you will do fine with a lower-range printer for those applications. Suitable photo paper which can be purchased for this printer also works in the cheaper printers, and produces great results. There is a CD/DVD attachment tray included underneath the paper tray which will allow you to print straight onto a printable disc. I've ran into trouble with the cartridges several times by streaks appearing in the output. Each time I have to run a nozzle cleaning procedure and then reprint my document. Unfortunately this wastes a lot of ink and occasionally wastes photo paper when I have to reprint an image. The cartridges that come with the printer are "starter versions" and will require replacement sooner than normal because they do not contain as much ink as a standard cartridge.

This is a review for the Epson Expression Photo HD XP-15000 Wide-Format Printer. Included with the printer is: 1. Six ink cartridges (Red, Yellow, Cyan, Magenta, Gray, & Black) 2. Instruction booklet with CD for installing drivers to computer. 3. Power Cord. 4. Pack of different photo paper to use with the printer. Taking the Printer out of the box and getting it installed didn't take as much time as I was expecting. The blue tape that is placed everywhere throughout the device was tedious and annoying to remove. Other than getting the tape removed it ran pretty smoothly getting the ink cartridges installed and downloading the drivers to my computer. There is an option to set it up wirelessly or through a usb that connects to the computer (not included). I chose to connect it via usb and setup took about 10 minutes. I went ahead and printed some family photos and they looked amazing! I was quite surprised at how professional looking the prints looked. The only problem I had was when I needed to print a recipe off using regular paper- I kept getting the "paper is empty" error even though it had plenty of paper. I went through all the troubleshooting steps and still to no avail. After about 15 minutes I figured out that I needed to change the paper setting to "plain paper" instead of "photo premuim glossy" and everything printed out just fine. Overall I am impressed with this Espon Wide format printer, the printer quality is excellent! The option to connect your phone so you can print from your cellphone comes in quite handy. I did look up the price for replacement ink cartridges and to my surprise the cost isnt outrageous. Very comparable to any other photo printer. This is a review for the Epson Expression Photo HD XP-15000 Wide-Format Printer that I received free of charge to do a beta test and review.
