Of 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. I was able to print from Windows before with an Ethernet connection, but now I can't. What should I do? Surprisingly compact, the XP-15000 can print A3+ photos from its small footprint.

So, good B&W printing is possible, but you will need to experiment. Also, be prepared to accept that some papers, no matter how well known the brand, might just not work very well. Printing I always suggest using such images when testing new papers, rather than your own favourite photos. If you can print an image you like the quality of, from these, then it makes refining the printing of your own work so much easier.Paper from the lower tray is bent by 180º via the rear feed unit. This also works for duplex printing.

Ultimate wireless and wired connectivity – easily print from iPad ®, iPhone ® and Android™ tablets and smartphones 4; also offers Ethernet networking If you are really keen on B&W photography and want top notch prints ‘out of the box’ on darkroom style papers, then you need a pigment ink based printer. The screenThe screen is very clear, but feels a bit small. Controls are easy to use and I only tried using it as a touch screen a few times. I’d obviously been spoilt by the excellent touch screen of the P700/P900 which I recently tested… Ink usage Ultra compact wide-format A3+ printer— 30 percent smaller than its predecessor 2; easily fits on your desktop

I can't print from Windows with a wireless connection after I replaced my router. What should I do? 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? 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.
