While the Epson XP-15000 had been a fantastic printer for professional photo printing in the past, the ink cost associated with this reasonably priced large format printer can quickly become cost prohibitive. Coming in at $20-40/tank, This six-color tank setup gets expensive, especially considering I used it regularly for 13×19 prints. But that’s not what we’re here to talk about.

The Epson ET-8550 has been a great addition to the printing arsenal, especially with the Shaq-approved ink tanks! I used this to print photos from my Mac, and standard quality still produces perfectly usable and fast prints from Adobe Lightroom. I could easily print a 4×6 or 5×7 within 10-20 seconds.
