As a result of the machine’s wireless connectivity, users can benefit from Wi-Fi support which will allow for convenient printing from laptops or smartphones. Mobile printing from Apple devices is made possible thanks to Epson’s free iPrint app.

As part of Epson’s “Photo” range of machines the 1500W can produce exceptional quality photo prints and also has the functionality to print directly from digital cameras by utilising the support of PictBridge.

There is also versatility in the type of media that this device can print on with CDs and envelopes amongst the variety of media that can be accommodated. Additional versatility can be found in the size of prints available with A3+ printing supported.

A 100-sheet paper capacity is another plus point for users who are looking to print frequently.

Epson Stylus Photo 1500W Expert Review

This Epson printer is aimed at those who are looking to get more from their photo printing without needing to spend a small fortune in the process.

The ‘hook’ for many users when it comes to the Stylus Photo 1500W will be the A3 functionality. Epson believes this model offers “an unbeatable combination of convenience and superior specifications for high-quality, glossy photo output” and will appeal to users both in the home and in the office.

As with most Epson printers, particularly in the Stylus range, the build quality is good and the machine is a fairly bulky device in order to carry out the A3 printing. The 1500W is fairly discreet though, with little noise when it’s in operation. Wi-Fi connectivity allows a number of different users to print from the machine although there is no Ethernet connection.

And it’s not just where you can print from which is versatile. You can print on envelopes and CDs as well as plain and glossy paper. It’s important to remember that the main purpose of this printer is to produce high quality photo prints and for that reason, text documents can lack in quality.

The relatively low price is also a plus point for photographers working on a budget and the 1500W would be an ideal purchase for a photography student. Black and white photo printing also suffers slightly.

Where this device excels is in the colour photo printing available and it represents outstanding value for money when you look towards other photo printers on the market.

Pros

• Fairly quiet when running
• Low price in comparison with other A3 printers
