About this deal

One point to note with the matte paper is the density of ~1.8. This is noticeably in excess of the typical ~1.6 I see on matte art papers with pigment inks. With some ‘art’ papers it’s even darker. Ultra compact wide-format A3+ printer – 30 percent smaller than its predecessor 2; easily fits on your desktop Apple AirPrint allows full colour, top-quality printing from iOS devices such as iPhones and iPads directly from within many Apps available from the Apple App Store. I’m printing from EPL – note how the image doesn’t quite fit the paper – but I can always trim the paper, The printer has Ethernet (10/100), USB (3) and WiFI connectivity (2.4 and 5). The wired ports are at the rear.

Ultra compact wide-format A3+ printer— 30 percent smaller than its predecessor 2; easily fits on your desktop However, it come at the cost of having prints that are more likely to gain/change colour tint under different lighting sources. With any new printer or one that’s been shipped to you, it’s worth running the head alignment setup, especially if printing photos at the best quality settings. Yes, the XP-15000 will print canvas. I created profile for a matte 380gsm canvas which looks fairly good, although you’d ideally want to coat/varnish the surface to get the best look. If print longevity really matters to you, then you’d likely choose pigment inks and media that match. However, the prints from the XP-15000 will likely long outlast me if kept out of the sun and kitchen. B&W printingOf these, I’d avoid the ‘Low Ink Reminder’– it hasn’t appeared once on my Mac or laptop without me dismissing it as an annoying interruption… You may find it useful. Note that Photoshop is what I use for most of my professional print work. Printing should be similar for other editing applications and on Win PCs

The XP-15000 is a dye ink based printer which adds a grey and red ink to the normal CMYK mix. This along with its support for A3+ paper (13″ x 19″) and custom paper sizes up to 13″ x 44″ makes it a step up from the average ‘small office’ printer.Step 4: determine if experts are endorsing the same product. For variations of the same products our team needs to determine whether the products are the same or not (is iPhone 13 64GB and iPhone 13 128GB the same model or not?) No bits felt flimsy or likely to fall off – a complaint I’ve seen levelled at the new P700, even though I soundly disagree with it. So – what’s it like to use? I was able to print from my Mac before with an Ethernet connection, but now I can't. What should I do?

As you’d expect with modern dye inks, colour prints on glossy papers and some art papers look excellent. Results were less impressive with several baryta style papers I like, where the fact that such papers are optimised for pigment ink really shows. Here, I’m printing an image on an A3+ sheet of canvas, and have added a mirrored/blurred extension for wrapping over an A4 sized stretcher. There are settings in the EPL software to handle lots of different mounting methods. The printer does record some basic print history, which may be useful for keeping tabs on your printing (or others with access to the printer…) As a professional photographer who uses some pretty expensive kit for printing, why bother with an XP-15000 printer review?

Condition guide

I also use both for testing the performance of printer profiles. If you make use of them, then do be sure to read the explanatory notes that go with them. The next section is a bit more technical, but the short version, is use ABW first, but if you have profiles for the paper, give it a go. You can get reasonable B&W from the XP-15000, but be prepared to experiment. Some curves
