Epson Stylus Photo 1500W review
press release
Print A3+ photos from anywhere
With high-quality wireless printer
January 12th 2012 – Announcing the Epson Stylus Photo 1500W, Epson offers photo enthusiasts a wireless, A3+ printer with an unbeatable combination of convenience and superior specifications for high-quality, glossy photo output.
The 1500W can print from anywhere thanks to its built-in Wi-Fi connectivity. This allows fast, easy printing from laptops, desktops and the latest generation of mobile devices such as iPhones and iPads via Epson’s iPrint app.
Simon Hanly, product manager at Epson UK, says: “We are delighted to offer our customers the convenience of wireless connectivity – a feature not provided by competing A3+ photo printers. Not only does it make life easier when printing from mobile devices, but it gives users the freedom to position the printer wherever they want in their home or office.”
A wide range of printing projects can be undertaken with the 1500W, which prints on glossy paper, plain paper, envelopes, iron-on transfers plus CDs and DVDs. Standard 4 x 6 inch (10 x 15cm) photos all the way up to panoramic and A3+ prints are supported.
The 1500W uses Epson’s Claria 6-colour, dye-based ink-set to achieve vivid and long-lasting results with a glossy finish. Coupled with the resolution up to of 5760 x 1440dpi and small 1.5pl droplet size, this yields high-quality prints with fine detail and smooth tonal gradations.
The Epson Stylus Photo 1500W will be available from 1 March 2012 priced at £349.99.

[...] latest Piezography2, coming shortly, may even tempt me to buy a new printer to run it, perhaps the Epson Stylus Photo 1500 (which I think is known in the US as the Epson Artisan 1430) and has the big advantage of a wi-fi [...]
The 1500 is the better printer, although the photo quality difference will not be that great. If it is the choice between the two then I would go for the latest model, the 1400 has been around for some time and will probably be dropped from Epson’s line up at some time in the near future.
Hi,
I am planning to get a wide-format printer and came across your review of the Epson 1500W.
Question is whether this new printer is any better than Epson 1390/1400 in terms of output quality? From what I’m reading, it seems that the output quality are quite similar, but the new printer cannot print on heavier papers while 1390/1400 can.
Would love to hear your views regarding 1500W vs 1390/1400.
Cheers!
